Eugenia Ward has been taking care of her family and ex-husband for years, even after she left her job and started her own company. She is a big-name designer when it comes to evening and wedding gowns, but she is struggling with the economy during COVID. But, she still manages to take care of everyone and everything, including her daughter’s lavish wedding (that has gone over budget)!
For one last break before the wedding madness and fashion week, Eugenia gathers the entire family (and significant others) together for a delightful holiday. However, Gloria’s fiancé causes quite the stir, Daphne is about ready to pop with twins, and everyone is on edge.
The silver lining in it all may be meeting Patrick Hughes, a successful real estate developer who’s also going through a rough patch. When the two meet, they find that they can easily talk about life, family, and even business. They find an easy friendship that may turn into more (if either of them wants it).
But as the wedding gets closer, tensions get higher, money gets tighter, and a hurricane may just ruin it all!
If you’ve started diamond dot painting, you already know how quickly all those tiny diamonds can get out of control. Between dozens of colors, tiny drills, and small bags, keeping everything organized can be one of the biggest challenges of this relaxing hobby.
That’s why I (and many diamond painting enthusiasts) love using the Glotrove Diamond Art Storage Containers. These containers are designed specifically for diamond painting and offer several helpful features that make crafting easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable.
If you want to upgrade your diamond painting setup, here are some of the biggest benefits of using Glotrove storage containers.
A 2-in-1 Storage and Tray System
One of the best features of Glotrove containers is their 2-in-1 design. Each container acts as both a storage box and a working tray. Instead of constantly pouring diamonds from bags into trays and back again, you can simply open the container and start working.
This saves a lot of time and makes the entire diamond painting process much smoother. When you’re finished for the day, you just close the lid, and your diamonds stay right where they belong.
For anyone who works on large diamond paintings with many colors, this feature alone can make a big difference.
Helps Keep Your Workspace Organized
Diamond painting kits often include twenty or more colors. Without proper storage, it’s easy for the tiny drills to get mixed up or lost.
Glotrove storage containers help solve that problem by giving each color its own container. Many sets also include hundreds of labels, so you can easily mark each color code and quickly find the one you need.
Keeping everything organized helps you work faster and prevents frustration when searching for the right color.
Designed to Line Up Diamonds Easily
Another helpful feature of the Glotrove containers is the grooved tray design. The bottom of the tray has small grooves that help line up the diamonds when you gently shake the container.
This makes it easier to pick up the drills with your diamond painting pen because they naturally flip right-side up in neat rows.
Instead of constantly adjusting diamonds with your fingers, the tray does the work for you. This makes the process quicker and more relaxing.
Secure Lids Help Prevent Spills
If you’ve ever knocked over a bag of diamond drills, you know how frustrating it can be to clean them up.
Glotrove containers are designed with secure lids and safety locks that help prevent spills. Even if a container is dropped, the locking lid helps keep the diamonds safely inside.
This is especially helpful if you craft around kids, pets, or in a busy household.
Perfect for Large Diamond Painting Projects
You can choose to buy 20, 45, or 60 containers, making them ideal for large diamond paintings with many colors.
Instead of juggling multiple bags and trays, you can keep all of your drills organized in one convenient storage system. This helps keep your crafting space tidy and allows you to focus on enjoying your project instead of managing supplies.
Just a heads up, I started out with a twenty-piece kit, added a sixty-piece, and then had to add two more! The more art kits you make, the more diamonds you have floating around! And while some are the same and can be combined, there are plenty of new colors with each kit!
Great for Other Craft Supplies Too
Although these containers are designed for diamond painting, they can also be used for other small craft supplies.
Many crafters use them to store:
Beads
Rhinestones
Jewelry supplies
Nail art decorations
Buttons or sequins
Because the containers are clear, you can easily see what’s inside without opening them.
A Simple Upgrade That Makes a Big Difference
Diamond dot painting is already a relaxing hobby, but staying organized can make it even more enjoyable. Using a storage system like Glotrove containers helps reduce clutter, prevent spills, and keep your workspace neat.
Once you try an organized setup, you’ll likely find that your diamond painting sessions become smoother, faster, and much more relaxing.
If you love diamond painting, a good storage system is one of the best tools you can add to your craft collection.

A Happy Marriage is my first James Caine novel, but it definitely won’t be my last. In fact, I am already halfway through another one by him (so you will have to keep an eye out for that review).
In this novel, we meet Cathy, a wedding planner for those with plenty of money. She will do anything to ensure that her couples have the wedding of their dreams, especially since she didn’t get one herself.
Her husband is more than happy to attend these weddings, especially if networking can improve his business.
However, when they realize that their marriage isn’t as good as they hoped, everything changes. She is determined to plan the perfect wedding, even if she only has a month to do so, while her husband is busy planning the perfect alibi.
When everything went south, I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. I couldn’t believe the ending! I was sure I could figure out what would happen, and something entirely different happened. Readers will fly through this book, waiting to see what happens next!

Though Nicholas Sparks is a favorite author of mine, I haven’t been buying his books like I used to. It is not because I don’t love them. There are so many good books for free on my Kindle that I rarely buy books anymore. However, I recently got a gift certificate, and I splurged on a few books by my favorite authors, including Sparks.
The Wish by Nicholas Sparks brings us to New York City, where Maggie Dawes is a successful photographer with her own gallery. Though she has traveled the world, her illness has kept her close to home for quite a while. As she approaches her last Christmas, she bonds with her new assistant as he discovers the beauty of New York during the holiday season.
During their nights together, she begins to tell him a story of her favorite Christmas, back in 1996. Though she wasn’t happy to be sent to live with her aunt in the remote village of Ocracoke, it turned out to be the best thing for her.
There weren’t many teenagers on the island, so she really struggled until she met Bryce Trickett. Bryce was everything she wasn’t. He was smart and had his whole life planned out, while she was pretty lost and struggling. What started as tutoring turned into something better as he introduced her to photography. Then, they fell in love, but Maggie’s age and Bryce’s drive to succeed and go far kept them apart when Maggie had to return home!
If you love Nicholas Sparks (or you have never read anything of his), you really need to read The Wish.You won’t regret it!
