I think you made the right decision. That’s mainly the reason why I haven’t hosted a hashtag or I don’t set goals for a period of time. I just color what I like whenever I like it ❤ Give those untouched books some love and see the illustrations come to life. It’s a hobby, not an obligation.
Dear Kristina, great idea to focus on yourself and YOUR enjoyment in coloring! The negative comments should be tossed. No matter what you do you will never please everyone and that's ok! I will keep watching and following you as I enjoy your style very much! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🩵
I have not been in this community for a long time but it’s been long enough to know that these people are so lovely and kind hearted. You are one that I always enjoy and watch all your videos. It broke my heart that you are going through these hard times and of course that brings about life changes for you. Please don’t let one sad person make you feel badly because we all know what a kind and generous person you are❤
Awh thank you 🫶 That warms my heart. I love our community and will continue to pour my heart into it! I've been overwhelmed with the caring and kindness. It has restored my belief in humanity. With everything going on outside of our hobbies, it's good to know we have each other and a common escape 🤗🫶🤗🫶
Hi Kristina. I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you and your family the best for 2025. I wanted to thank you for hosting the Magic Jars and Spooky hashtags last year. I really enjoyed participating in them and plan to continue colouring in both books this year.
My sincerest apologies on the loss of your Dad. Grief is unpredictable and time to process the loss is so important. Good for you for making the changes you need in your life. Sending you love and positive energy. Find joy in the small things, comfort in your family, and most importantly take care of yourself! 🤗
Happy New Year Love!!! Coloring is my happy place and I just want you to do what makes you happy also!!! Cant wait to see what the new year brings and happy coloring!!!
Hey beautiful! Im so happy to hear your voice!!! Ive got to get back on IG and catch up. You sound well! Grief just flat out sucks. Its beautiful to have loved someone so much that you ache the way you do but it doesnt change the fact that it just sucks! LoL. You're so very on point with it hitting you out of nowhere. Some days we can talk about it just fine and others we cant even think about it without sobbing and snotting all over the place! I thought i noticed the keychain! Im so happy you like it! I hope the hanging moment, as well as the keychain brings you joy and reminds you that you are so loved and appreciated. NOT JUST CAUSE YOU HOST HASHTAGS but because you're a beautiful human being in every way. I genuinely miss you!! As you know, ive had to take a break. The holidays are rough when youve lost someone. Im so proud of you for taking time FOR YOU. If anyone knows you, they know that was an hard decision to make.(to an extent) I know you don't want to upset anyone but YOU MATTER MOST! And shoot, If i would have received that comment it would have just been the comment that would have solidified my decision.. Knowing you, it probably went down similarly. The fact that you could acknowledge the validity of their comment and answer it professionally, being in this heightened state of emotion... GIRL YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME! ill tell ya that much! You're an inspiration and i thank you for all your hard work, dedication and effort that you put into this community. Please forward the message to your mom that my mother wanted to send her condolences and warmest wishes to not only they two of you but your whole family, After we spoke a few weeks ago, i was visibly upset and she noticed so i showed her "the last dance" and others while bawling my eyes out and reiterating. She's not one to care about others situations.. Sounds harsh but its the truth.... However, she was clearly affected by what i showed her and how affected i was( Empath, blessing and a curse. ) She will ask about how you're doing from time to time. So yeah.... I wanted to pass that along since ive forgotten. Love and miss you IMMENSELY!! Sorry this was so long! I'll TRY and get onto insta and write you but id love to help you declutter! SPRING CLEANING BEEEOOOTCH! xoxo love ya soooo much!
Thank your Mom for me. I've needed all the thoughts & prayer. We all do what we can and that's really enough. I.know grief has hit me in ways I'd not thought it would. You're right it's wonderful to have loved someone so much that you miss them equally. We'll all be okay. The journey we are on and what we learn in grief is a gift. Maybe it's them helping push that along. All I know, is there are seasons in our life of circumstance and people. I'm embracing both the best I can. Much love to you and take care of yourself. Whatever you're experiencing, YOU GOT THIS ❤️
Kristina Im just seeing this. I am so sorry to hear of yr dads passing. Its something we are never prepared for even if we think we have. Sending you hugs. Please extend my sympathy to your mom and family. Look after you.❤❤
Where did you get the cat girl book? I love that one and would, definitely, color in it. Well, I would make photo copies of the pages and color them. lol. Thank you for sharing the tremor thing. I noticed that happening to me now and I will be 50 this month. I really want you to enjoy yourself and soak up the imagination of coloring. I am using that flower page as just a practice page for my watercolor paints and learning how to use them. lol. I hope they send you a new pen to replace the dried out one too! For the snow we're all getting over here, I felt like it was Dec. 31st and we were practically in shorts. Jan 1st, WINTER. hahahahaha. GREAT video! I haven't finished it yet but I do need to work in the morning so I will have it playing in the background while I work. CAN NOT wait to finish it!
PS. I can relate to losing your "wind" after losing someone you love. It's very graphic (my father died violently) but I stopped drag racing after I lost my father. It was not drag racing related but it happened the day I got home from a big racing event. I just could not get motivated and never went back. I DO still have the race car though. So never know. ;) HUGS!!!! I am here if you need to talk or anything.
My heart goes out to you as well. That's tragic and understandable why you stopped. Maybe one day you'll be able to return. I finished my first coloring page in a long time. It felt good to get back into the excitement of coloring. Today was my Dad's 1 month since he passed. Woke up to tears but the day got better. I realize I'll always miss him and these things will happen. He would want me doing what makes me happy 😁 Check out your tremor with a doc when you have a chance it can be related to a primary diagnosis or just be essential tremor. Either way I find being as loose as possible in your posture and especially when writing or coloring be sure to relax yoir neck and shoulder area. I have to get botox to do that but when it wears off being loose is my only defense. Thank you again for your friendship and gifts. I appreciate you 🤗🫶🤗🫶 Take Care ❤️
So happy you are back, you were so missed💗 Wondering how your detach works? There are a few of the foreign books I would love as I can’t afford to buy them too expensive but I could afford postage. BTW I have cats and love cat books! Lol Oh and the last one you showed with the blue cover has long been a favorite wanted❤ Thanks for consideration if this is what you are doing?
I have had some interest in some of the books. I am giving most of my books to the local mental health outpatient center for their art therapy program. But, I'll let you know if I leave some behind. 😉🫶
Hi my friend so sorry to hear the news about your dads passing sending love to you and your mum and the family too.. I wish we were closer I would ask for the siloette colouring book Disney can’t spell the name.. as u can’t get that book anymore I was wanting it so bad..lol I can’t afford postage it’s shocking to send to Australia.. thank you for sharing too❤❤❤xxxx
I found the comment you got about you not viewing your hashtags interesting as I also struggle to find the time or mental energy to check the ones I create as well… from my opinion the hashtags allow everyone to see a bunch of coloured pages as inspiration and creates a sense of community colouring all these pages together 💕 I sometimes feel guilty about not being so active on instagram anymore but right now that’s what I need to find joy in the colouring community as I’m spending that time on TH-cam 🥰and instagram makes it so hard to be able to see absolutely everyone’s so you can never win!!!
@colouringbumblebee Yes, and I could have deleted the comment but it's a tucked away reminder that you can't please the masses and nor should we try. It's a fun hobby and we can keep it that way! You always have tondo you girl and everything else will fall into place. I mentioned it because I figured others have gotten similar type messages last year. 🥴 Anyway, Happy New Year to you and your family! Happy Coloring! 🤗🫶🤗🫶
Hi Kristina! It has been So Nice to spend time with You. You sound good, but as you know, I know the struggle. I totally understand! I would love to see you, coloring, watercoloring, no music -please! 😅 I'm going to continue the Magic Jars Book, but I'm going to wait for Spring! 2025 is A 'uncolored' book year for Me, too! I have about 20 books to get into, this month, there will be 3 off the list! Have a Wonderful Weekend Coloring! Love Ya! 💜🫶🏻💜
@kristinasartcorner I am so very happy, that I can make You laugh!! 😅🤣😂 We All need a Good Girl Giggle, snorts and All! I'm feeling better about 2025! Love Ya! 🤣🫶🏻🤣🫶🏻🌹🪻🎉💜
I am giving most of them to the art therapy mental health center near me. About every 6 months I give them books & supplies. If I keep any behind, I'll let everyone know. 😉
Thank you! Deep Sleep" coloring books are from the Etsy shop ChillandSarah! They have quite a good selection of Japanese and Korean books. They have several in the deep sleep series 😁
I’m o sorry for your loss. I no longer have my mom or dad. I miss them every day. I would love to purchase the Disney Siluetas book from you. I have looked all over for it and cannot find it. I would also be interested in the cat book Nelco neko.
Thank you for the condolences. I will get back to you about the books. I did have someone that was purchasing them. If that doesn't work out, I'll be sure to let you know. Many are going to an art therapy mental health outpatient center near me. 🤗🫶
Hello Kristina Your Goldfaber markers is there a full set? Or do you use the smaller sets in the range. Once again sending condolences to and family🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Love your channel so sry for your loss, hope the new year brings you more joy. Can I tell you please I will buy the silhouettes book from you...if you haven't had any inquiries I will PAY for that book!!!!
Thank you. I plan on giving the majority of my books to an art therapy outpatient mental health center nearby, but should I keep a few back from that delivery, I'll let you all know. 😉🤗🫶
Hello Kristina Happy 2025 still have you in and family in my prayers. I’ll be 53 this year too and I totally understand everything you said. I’ll be doing a few hashtags can I put them on Facebook I don’t have IG
Thank you! WooHoo 53 here we come! 🎊 I'm not sure how interfaces the hastags are on FB to IG but I'm sure there are groups to post colorings in. 😁 Take Care & Happy New Year 🫶
Oh let’s talk about feet 🤦🏽♀️ I’m still in the boot and going to PT. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND I lose both of my parents 25 years my mom and 10 my Dad. Grief comes in waves stay strong it’s a life changing journey
Ughhh the ole' foot boot. I was so glad to be out of it and in orthotics. That's a journey in and of itself, foot problems. I'm so sorry for your losses. They are so profound and difficult to comprehend sometimes. I'm just trying to move forward steps at a time. 🤗🫶
That person's comment was ridiculous. No one should care who looks at their pages. Silliness. Post your pics with no hashtag then. Goodness. I am sure u were nicer than I would have been. 🎉
I think you made the right decision. That’s mainly the reason why I haven’t hosted a hashtag or I don’t set goals for a period of time. I just color what I like whenever I like it ❤ Give those untouched books some love and see the illustrations come to life. It’s a hobby, not an obligation.
Words that are so true! I've just completed my first page of the month and it felt so good. It's been a long time since I could enjoy it! 🤗🫶🤗🫶
@ Keep going! It’s a fun rush 😍 I think that’s why I have never had a coloring slump
Makes complete sense! 🫶
Dear Kristina, great idea to focus on yourself and YOUR enjoyment in coloring! The negative comments should be tossed. No matter what you do you will never please everyone and that's ok! I will keep watching and following you as I enjoy your style very much! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🩵
