That scream! LOL. I was colouring a page watching this, my jelly rolls went flying.😆

The Flower Year… Leila Duly…. I simply MUST have this book! It is absolutely beautiful!

[Alisonscolouringandcreativity]

Love a destash video nearly ended up adding more to my wishlist lol. You've give me the sort out bug. Thanks for sharing ❤

I just stumbled upon your channel and laughed so hard when you pointed out the giant turtle head in "Sea of Color book". I agree with you on the Klara Markova books. The faces do not appeal to me. I do love the paper and most illustrations without faces but I don't reach for those books as often as I do with other books in my collection. I really appreciate your honest opinion of these artists. You have said exactly what I have been thinking.

The scream 🤣🤣 I’m exactly the same whenever anyone creeps up on me, surprised I haven’t keeled over by now

You were so determined to keep only what you want to colour. That's such a good idea to hold in our minds. We can be tempted to buy books because they are the fashion and everyone wants them at the same time. I don't do that anymore. Neither do I want every book by an artist. If I have one and I love it, I might get another. But I won't just because they exist. I love Rita Burman's Europe book and have coloured several pictures in it. I don't want the Asia or African ones. I love the under the water book of hers but don't have the on land one. I love Circle of Life, but don't have the others. I have one Klara Markova and won't get others because of the price and like you, I'm no that enamoured of the images. I like them to a degree, but not a degree enough to colour many of them. I like the Topps books by Crystal Vogal too. But I only have one.

I've never understood the appeal of the Erie books. I've been colouring now for years. I have one full shelf and under a 1/4 of another shelf of books. Probably equivalent to about 3 of your cubes. And I have some Colouring Heaven magazines in magazine storage box thing. It's enough. When I see something lovely, I will buy it after I've thought about it. Same goes for supplies now. I love pencils and I really like markers. I began as a watercolour painter so I love paints too. But I don't need all the new things. I fell for the distress inks once upon a time but I've never used them in a colouring book as I don't have the right touch.

It's good to find a kindred spirit going for the "less is more" approach. And I too think it's a bit odd to publish Amazon wish lists. I use mine for Christmas. I hope you are enjoying your reduced book collection and finding it less daunting to select a picture.

When you decided to let the tomislav tomic go I was thinking, “no keep them” because here in Canada I can’t get them easily without being willing to give away my first born. I so wish those books would be reprinted. Kidding aside I admired your decisiveness. Well done!

[bethmegansmith]

Well done for your brave de-clutter . been teaching myself to Crochet, I am saving up for coloring books from Japan as I love the pictures and paper is better, love your video happy crafting xxxx

[bryanmelton]

Im starting this hobby so far I love it

[lunaluna]

I just love what you said about Amazon wishlist, made me respect you even more than I did when you let go Klara Markova or that Legend Book of Eriy I would give an arm for... 😅😅😅
I enjoyed your video! And that halloweenish scream... 😂

[deborahjane]

Super Talented. Love All Your Picture's An Books. X

[audreyshaw]

Another great de-clutter. Mine is down to one small bag now 😊

[charityariverpixie]

I’m so glad I don’t like the Klara Markova artwork as I think for us in the UK they’re near enough £50 🙈, well done for being strong !!! I do find these videos helpful, when you’re flicking through books that perhaps I might have been contemplating I always take them off my wish list ! Xx

[WarboysWitch]

It’s so helpful seeing you flick through the books. I might have to see if I can get a copy of the flower year. But those Klara’s ones just had creepy eyes

[Kreative_Rainbow]

Bravo!! 🎉 Brave job!! 👏👏 It is difficult to let the beautiful items go!! 🤗

[michaelacolorsandcreates]

Holy moly your scream scared me to death! I was falling asleep and boy that woke me up. Just had foot surgery and pain meds was knocking me out.

New Subscriber and I'm ENJOYING this video SO Much...just to see allll the wonderful coloring books you have, wow, whatta dreamy little creative space you have in your life 💗👍

Since my colouring skills have improved, I've become a colouring book snob. The paper quality is the number 1 reason I buy a book because I get annoyed when my Polys don't behave. I know now what my colouring looks at its best and I want it every time I sit at my art table.

You Are Right Lily The Prices Of Colouring Books, Is High. Ridiculously High, The Johanna Bashford 1s I Got From World Of Books, Were Under £4, Think Were £3.54. So Glad I Didn't Pay More.
