welcome friends

Hi everyone, my name is Betty, I decided to create a new blog for all foreing followers of my youtube channel. I'll pass here all post in my blog, and I'll try to update  with my videos in my channel. My english is not good but I hope you'll follow me the same.
Let's start with my last video, I added two videos today, after a long time I stopped to make videos for my channel.
If you watched my last video you know I started a new mania, Diamond painting, I started in April and I find this so relaxing and amazing when you end work. Let me show you what I made in these months:

 Here all diamond I made, I buy them from Aliexpress, all from a seller, who is in England and I love this because I can receive them in 2 weeks, after Xmas I'll take other 2 diamond about my favourite Japan Anime of my childhood.

Super Mario Bross and Spiderman has been a gift for my nephews, other diamonds are in my room, I made a short video in my channel where I don't speak english but I say how  I loved making diamond and I used to say myself, ok I will make that video later and time went away.

So now I'll make other post to show you what I made in these months too, and I'll  keep on update you 

That's all for this post
