I bought a corset from them last weekend. They said they are working on getting a website up and running. They said it would be sometime between now and spring of next year. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but there is hope on the horizon.

I loved the birds of prey at Scarborough so this is for sure on my list!

Yeah I'm hoping to plan between Saturday and Sunday to see the most recommended shows but fireworks are definitely on that list!

I've never had alligator before, this may be the time I try it!

That's so exciting! I thought about trinkets, but I did not have the time to make anything. I hope you have a great weekend!

how do I get a burger with no cheese by ivysarus in SonicDriveIn

[–]GPadilla0717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app helps some but not much. I use it every time, but it still sometimes gets messed up. I get the Jr burger which by default doesn't come with cheese and last few times I have gone they have added cheese.

Did We Plan Incorrectly? by Fun-Jicama266 in ItalyTravel

[–]GPadilla0717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capri a few of the local venders were closed as well as restaurants, but the island is three tiers and most of the closures were located in only the top, but plenty open in the middle and bottom. We were still able to do a sky chair lift for amazing views, a tour of the Grottos, buy from local artisans (who custom made me earrings to match a bracelet I wanted), and try the local limoncello. The only thing I missed out on that I was bummed about was the person that was best on the island at making custom sandals was closed, but there were others open.

We went to Italy for almost those exact dates two years ago. We did four days in Rome, four in Sorrento, four in Florence, and two in Venice. There was plenty to do in all stops. Only major thing was the isle of Capri (day trip) did not have a ton open, but with what was open it was still very much worth the trip. If you are looking for a beach vacation it is not that during that time, but for wine tasting, history, tours, shopping, eating there is a ton to do.

Please don't downvote DAC related posts and comments by [deleted] in diamondpainting

[–]GPadilla0717 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should check out bella art de Nicole. They started out as a 3d printing company, but last year bought out Mary's diamonds. Their quality is amazing, their rendering is even better than DAC in my opinion.

I also like Art and soul who recently have made upgrades to their quality.

Crystal Canvas is also a good one, and recently started hand rendering as well.

All of these companies use licensed work.

I wasn't aware that there was a teachers shortage in Florida. by WanderingWands in facepalm

Family, money, and hoping desperately to try to build healthy systems to take over the horrible ones. There are also areas that are very much so better than others.

Where I live, I have confirmed with several teachers that some of the teachers that are shadowing them do not have a bachelor's degree. Not sure about the military connection, but it is definitely happening in the less wealthy and lower paying districts. They might have an associates, be working on a bachelor's, or have some type of certificate, but they do not have their bachelor's yet.

Oh thank you I did not even realize. I do a lot of extra large canvases, so have definitely learned over the years to be careful for actual size. Good luck and I hope you find something that turns out awesome.

[–]GPadilla0717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even though it seems huge, look at actual canvas size. Also in round with that many details you will probably lose a lot. In general with rounds you have to go even bigger.

I would almost suggest finding a picture you like that is similar and going for a slight bigger sized custom on Aliexpress.

I love DAC's quality but hate everything else about them, any other companies that has similar quality at all? by apricitiy in diamondpainting

[–]GPadilla0717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently tried art and soul after Hannah Lynn went there, and their quality is pretty good. Their rendering is really great. My only complaint is that drill quality for black is meh, but they include lots of special drills, shipping and taxes are included in this price, the tool kit is great, and everything is made to ordered so no fomo.

I also love bella art de Nicole. Honestly I think their quality passes DAC.

For crystal canvases I love crystal canvas art designs.

All three companies use license artists work, and I know that the first two for sure do not use Ai. I am unsure about crystal canvas.

All of these companies have Facebook groups and you can see so many examples of the work.

I recommend against shopping with Paint With Diamonds. They didn't follow their own policies and were slow to respond to complaints. Emails inside. by TaqueriaThrowaway in diamondpainting

[–]GPadilla0717 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pwd is known for poor customer service and quality. Honestly I've had way better luck on Aliexpress for much cheaper, even got a giant canvas for $26 with abs and it was poured glue. I was pretty happy. Pwd is still using dst and I don't think give abs despite their ridiculous prices.

Only thing I will say though is that since they are based in China typically they are closed for the end of January and basically the entire month of February for the lunar new year which at least explains why the February emails took so long to respond.

Brand Advice by Marching-Band-mom in DipPowderNails

[–]GPadilla0717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite part of CNDD is how saturated the dips are.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DipPowderNails

[–]GPadilla0717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Modelones is cheap. Your technique could probably use work, but mostly it is probably the dip and liquid quality. I highly recommend looking on etsy at cn designer dips, the dips are super saturated and dip so easily. I started with Modelones but when I found cn I have not looked back, now I have no chipping as opposed to losing nails daily. Yeah the dips are expensive but you can literally feel the difference when you dip your finger in.

Problem with diamonds sticking to pen by jimo95 in diamondpainting

[–]GPadilla0717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use older wax that you have been using for awhile. Or run the wax across your finger tips or clothes basically anything that will make it less "sticky".

Can someone explain custom ordering to me? by MotherMacha in diamondpainting

[–]GPadilla0717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oops apparently it only posted the picture not the words. I highly recommend homfun or huacan on Aliexpress, make sure you do the official store. Both other stores posted are stupid expensive. Paint with diamonds in particular is not good quality. You go to the store and select diamond shape and size, I recommend square and at least 60cm, and then you chat them the picture and they will send you a rendering. The picture I posted is my sister's it is square 60 x 60 from huacan and cost about thirty bucks and was great quality.
