While I wait for the phone call from the heart surgeon, I decided to come back from vacation mode and I've added a 25% off discount for Black Friday that includes everything in my Etsy shop. gaynerd.etsy.com.

I may have to go back into vacation mode at some point when I get a date and confirmation for my surgery.

I had so much fun at the craft faire yesterday at the one and only Enchanted Cottage here in Bakersfield over on California Ave. and A St. Many people loved to go through and buy single buttons and I offered boxed set prices on multiple single buttons. I also sold quite a few of the boxes of button sets. It was so awesome to see how many people loved the diamond paintings.

We're sending our best wishes to Bruce and hope he has a speedy recovery. We love you Bruce and Stan, and we thank you so much for the opportunity to sell our crafts at your shop. It is the only place I feel comfortable setting up a table to sell my crafts. I look forward to the next craft faire.

I recorded myself when I was at the Enchanted Cottage at the fall craft faire and I put it on my tiktok account. You can see it here.

This is my dog Flower. This picture is from when we first got her in 2008. She was born in 2006, so we got her when she was 2 years old and she passed away yesterday at the age of 19. I'm not dealing with this very well and I need to put my Etsy shop in vacation mode for a few days to let me go through the grieving process. Thank you for understanding.

I will be bringing these finished Make Market 8x10 Halloween diamond paintings to the craft faire at Enchanted Cottage on October 25th in Bakersfield, California. I wasn't originally going to bring the spider skull because that was meant for someone, but I bought another one that I will make for the craft faire. Just to note, two of them glow in the dark. The moon in the graveyard and the eyes in the cat.

Here is a Halloween diamond painting that I just finished making. Someone actually bought this from me. I think this is my favorite Halloween Diamond painting.

Just in case anyone is wondering what happened to me, I've been crafting for 16 hours a day to have enough of an inventory for an upcoming craft faire at a local shop in Bakersfield called Enchanted Cottage on October 25th. I have been focusing on diamond painting. I have a small, but nice selection of rainbow themed diamond paintings. The tree doesn't have a frame yet, so I have to buy one. I also have several more that I will have to make.

I've also been making Halloween diamond paintings. I have some 8x10 framed, 5x7 non framed and I will try to make as many 16x20 Halloween diamond paintings as I can with the amount of time I have left. No pictures yet, but I'll show them as I make them.

I have been working on these diamond paintings all day every day since April of this year and I haven't taken a break. My back is in pain and my eyes hurt lol. But I want to have some nice new things to bring to the craft faire.

Oh and I also have a lot of summer themed diamond paintings I made during the summer months. These are in my Etsy shop. https://gaynerd.etsy.com/listing/4354452425

I finished Wheat Field by Vincent Van Gogh which is a Make Market diamond painting from Michaels Stores. This took me 10 days. The actual time was 49 hours and 51 minutes.
