Great wip n chat as usual. I'm going to try and stay awake for the live because you guys always have me cracking up when I watch the replays. Peace and love.

Hey Shay! Fun WIP n chat. I definitely think you should bring back the dance-in. 💙

Love this WIP & Chat! Love the time you're having with your daughter. My kids are grown and I have a 2 year old grandson and 2 bonus grand duaghters who are 11 & 13 so I totally understand how pre-teens are...lol! Glad your husband is feeling better. Have a great week!😀

Your painting is beautiful! I cannot wait to start mine. Love your WIP n chats!

I love that you went back and watched them. As a newbie to your channel, I wanna see you bring the dancing back. 😁🎉

Be yourself always. Doing the intros only would be hysterical. You can do it girl!! Hope hubs comes home feeling good. 💕

Glad you all had a great day celebrating Father's day! The malls are always crowded here too. I will have to join the FB group. Hoping to go next year. I know what you mean about stepping down and feeling relieved. I had a hard time stepping down from being Bella's swim club president because I had been doing it forever but once she graduated and wasn't going all the time and I made the decision... I felt a lot better.

Hi Shay!!! Yes enjoy your daughter's company. I am working on It's About Time from DAC.

Thank you for the WIP and chat, Shay. I agree, your daughter is still young so its nice when they want to hang out with you, it does change as they enter their teen years, they don't want to have anything to do with you. Hope you have a great weekend!

Enjoy your daughter’s company my 15 years old son talks to me non stop about his videos games. And I have to stop doing whatever to listen. And I do because I know the time will come when that will change but for now I love them. See you on Sunday ☺️🤿

Great video. That is mad skill with your single placer. The accuracy and speed are amazing!

Thank you Shay for the WIP and Chat I enjoyed listening to your stories while I Diamond Painted a Bees are Life Diamond Painting it sounds like your having a great summer I'm doing great

Great chat! … 💜💚🩷

Hi... 🤣🤣🤣 laughing at you (how much wine have you had) still working on my picture for SWTM and other events.

I’m working on still waters love your diamond painting:)

Hi Shay, doing good. Great WIP and chat as always. I agree, you should bring back that dance moves.

Oh gosh my husband LOVES shopping… Costco, H-E-B… all of it. 😅. Ha I got my husband something at Bu’cees too. I love BBQ all the things! I took Lexi to Blacks BBQ in Austin. Hope your hubby is better. ❤ 😊🎉

I love your WIP and Chats. Between you, Lee, and Diamond Grandma I decided to start doing my own WIP and Chats and I am glad I did. So thank you, Shay. I need to record my next WIP and Chat. This will be interesting for sure. Have a great weekend and I will be in your live on Sunday. Hugs from Kansas 🌻

You are absolutely a sweet mess! It was soooooo much fun meeting you in person at the retreat! I had a blast!!! The Father’s Day basket you two put together sounded absolutely perfect!

Hi Shay Shay, it’s really nice that Lu enjoys spending time with you, you should eat it up while she still wants to. It can be lonely when they stop hanging out with you. Then you have to wait until they’re adults before they’re interested in you again! Sorry, didn’t mean to be a downer. I hope you two enjoy your summer together, it sounds like you’ve already gotten a head start on it! I’m doing well, my back is healing up nicely, thank you for asking. As always, thank you for this week’s video! 💗 Dawn

Great chat. I'm working on DAC Lean On Me, it's two cuddly cats. It's kinda big and is taking me sometime to do. My back decided it's not going to diamond painting for a bit, lower back strain. 🙃

lol you started the firs time saying something about the tag questions lol. Gotta love the intrusion of landscapers (NOT!). The ones here start early early in the morning right outside our bedroom window, waking us up of course lol. I love shopping for gifts BUT Hate shopping in all other areas (food, clothes, that kind of thing). I hope hubby is recuperating well.

Oh my you live in my home town.. love it...

Good morning, Shay!

I caved. I ordered the enhancement kit for Beachcombers Bounty. 😊😅

Thank you Shay!

Hi Shay, i am doing fine, had lots of appointments this week, glad its almost weekend so i can catch up with some diamond painting. How are you doing? And i have to say, i love your energy in your vids!🤗 Pretty painting, keep up the good work ❤

HI Shay. Things are going well here although we are also having a heat wave. I am a little better than halfway finished with my SWTM kit, A Gust of Wind by Courbet. Don't feel guilty about saying no to sponsoring another retreat. You have a lot going on and sometimes, adding one more thing is just too much. Keep up the good work!

You do something good, you do something bad, people will talk. So, better do something you love and have fun doing it and that’s it!!!

Hello Shay! Chronic lurker while diamond painting or working. 🎉

Hot and humid in Michigan all week. I hate it! I couldn’t survive the Texas heat. I’m more of a fall/winter gal.

At work and laughing out loud! I soooo love you😂. The LIVES are the best ❤

hey Shay!! I get my 5 years work award today!!!!

Hi shay girl, so sorry to hear that you won't be part of thr retreat next year. Was hoping to go, but would like to know how many men go the retreats as quests. I think it would be uncomfortable for all the ladies and the crazy things that you all do and talk about.let me know how you feel about it.

Have a great rest of the week, enjoying those moments with Lu! Hope the hubby is fully mended when he comes home from Austin.

I spent my evening at the ER but feeling some better

We like the new and old Shay but the silly early Shay is a joy to watch!!!!

Thanks for keeping me company while I worked on Dewey!

Hi Shay! I am decent. We are getting some heat here in Ohio like (upper 90s). I took my 5 year old to see inside out 2 and there were a few parts that really hit home for me with anxiety. Your WIP and Chat keeps me occupied while I work. Thank you

Been really busy moving stuff.

I must have been quite stressed out that one time I sliced through a DAC with my ceramic cutter. 😳

Hi Shay x OK so you have 3 children 2 drive and you and Lou did all the running around lol. I'm glad you went out and ate together and managed somewhere new. I've often wondered which one of the Housewives of Dalas is your neighbour or how far away you live 😂. I know I do Like the housewives lol. I've had a week I can't wait to be over. I can't talk about it as I feel I'm going crazy but I'm having to have meds to help me. I feel sad but also think if it's what is right for you to step back from organising next year's retreat. I feel it is hard for people to get excited about it if there is no way you are going to be able to participate. If the same 30 people get the first dibs on tickets I'm sure there will be alot feeling sad to miss out. I feel sad each time I see a members only video and think I'm missing out on watching you. I know I just have no life with not going out ect and that is on me so please don't feel I'm upset with you I'm not, just miss seeing you as often. (Sorry i sound stalkerish now lol) I thought lous birthday is August or Septembet and I'm sure you said December. You enjoy everything she wants to share with you even the child films. She is the baby of the family and won't want to for many years more. Although you are a pretty cool mum. I hope Mr Shay is feeling much better. In the uk there are lots of bugs going around so hopefully nobody else has become ill. Hugs to you all x Ellie. Oh I watched you while eating my Sunday Dinner so was looking up and down x

Yeah, I don’t know when I’m gonna go to a Gresham lllll because me and my brother got a flat tire after we were done with each other and I can’t ride in the car until he gets a new tire for it Sargent I couldn’t post my comment on your live, so I’m posting it on this video

Hi Shay, good afternoon from cool temperature Southern California. At least where I am located. Well, how am I? Glad you asked. On late Sunday morning, I tripped over the leg of my coffee table.I slammed to the floor my face taking most of the energy. I thought okay get up. I saw blood and I was spitting white chips out of my mouth. I seriously chipped my two front teeth. My face was black and blue. I had planned on Diamond painting. Well, that plan went out the window. All I thought about was all the money my parents spent on getting me braces. The next day Sylvia my Personal assistant arrived, and her eyes were big as sausers looking at me. I told her I look like shit, and I feel like shit. So, I got dressed, and she took me to the ER. I didn't have to wait long. To make a long story short, turns I broke my nose, chipped my teeth, traumatized the lumbar area of my spine, and sprained both knees. I don't do anything small. You were talking about the retreat. Brings back memories of when we( parents, sister and I) but a traditional Laua. Took a year and half to put together. This included having vendors, such as Foster Farms, Safeway, American Airlines, etc. American Airlines delivered to Safeway the wild Boar caught and killed on the Big Island. My Dad and few other men dug the pit. Around midnight before the party a very handsome Hawaiian, and the Downey Fire Department dropped the coal into the pit, then leaves, then the Boar, more leaves, then cover the with dirt. We had everything, big Hawaiian men cooking the food, Hula dancers from all the islands, and the Somoan fire thrower. Wonderful memories. Like you I talk to much. Found out I was ADHD when I was 51 years old. I take Lexapro for anxiety and panic, plus Strattera and Trazodone. Keeps me somewhat normal. You are braver than me to have a channel. I can't imagine myself dancing. Plus I would probably fall. Love your Frenchie Wine Goblet. I have a Dachshund one. Keep up the great work.

Wish men could get into this stuff. Lol, I'd love to try but it seems so female oriented on every page.

Thank you as always for being so open. The past few weeks with work changes I’ve been super stressed (my anxiety level on a great day🌡️❗️) I do have some people that are super at support , I am very blessed for that. I do believe that’s why my shingles came back. As far as Father’s Day, I’m not a shopper, so everything was ordered and shipped to me. I’m glad to hear their will be another retreat but I’m sorry to hear you’re stepping down. I completely understand and hope you attend for fun. I’m all about the sides, I just love food in general 😂 I just finished Longing for Love-by DAC. Now I’m trying some Sparklers on Arctic Fox. I wanted to try a small one to bling out for my first one. I hope your upcoming week is awesome, enjoy your time with Lou❤️🩷

Hi... 🤣🤣🤣 laughing at you (how much wine have you had) still working on my picture for SWTM and other events.
