I am joining you in the gel pen challenge I picked out the mini Pusheen coloring book which has pictures that are simple enough to color with gel pens, it has a few mandalas, but they are food or objects which I don’t mind. It does remind me of a Tiffany lamp. I got the Neko coloring book thank you for sharing. I also tried a mandala coloring book and it wasn’t something I enjoyed as much as I thought. I thought I was one of the few in the coloring community that find mandalas not meditative or relaxing to color.
I’m so happy you’re joining me! Are you on Instagram? You’re not the only one that dislikes mandalas! I find them tedious. I prefer to color objects and people. Patterns don’t appeal to me.
Lots of love! I think it looks very autumnal! We all know how much you and Mr. Books love each other! Can't wait to see all the other days too! So excited to see Mr. Books calendrer page as well! I thought the braves had it last night but still fingers crossed they win! 💜💕🍂🍁🖍🖊
You did good with your color and chat. I think you were just really nervous for some reason. Remember we are here because we like you and we want to be so just relax. The coloring was super cute and fall like so check and you talked just enough and it was amusing so check and check. So according to my criteria you hit all the check boxes 😉. Look forward to the next one.
Your picture looks great. Don't be so hard on yourself. I love hearing your stories. Hearing you talk about your grandparents made me think of mine and I couldn't help but smile. I remember in their house there were rooms that had those vacuum lines in the carpet because no one ever went in there. But you better believe my cousins and I did. I loved going to their house. Thanks for making me smile😁😁
I love the 'warm up' picture. Beautiful fall colors. I also love true crime. My daughter says that I can commit the perfect crime 😅 once again great video!!! Greetings from Belgium
Oh my! I haven’t done mine yet!! It’s on the kitchen table……so you’ll probably get days 1 & 2 at the same time. Was sick in bed all last week with what finally turned out to be an ear infection. 😖 Much better now with antibiotics, but that has sort of completely got me off my normal routine. Anyway gotta get back to it….. 👍🏼💜 ***I thought your balance between color and chat was just fine. Don’t obsess over it. Just let it flow. 😊 And no….your umbrella does not look like a Tiffany lampshade……the shape it is drawn in makes it look sort of like a lampshade. So stop fretting over it. 😊
Can you do. A coloring and story time? Like share a story about your teen years? (If you are okay with sharing) Btw: I enjoy the talking very much. ^u^
@@BecksAndBooks yes, I’m completely okay with you mentioning my name. 😊 I’m glad you like the idea. :3 Btw: I like how the ☂ came out. Don’t be so hard on yourself. :D
I tried to do a fall Color pallet with my umbrella as well. I used markers just like u and um yeah I had similar results ...ugly Tiffany lamp. Not saying yours is ugly lol I just think we both feel similarly about our day one picture. Let's just say this poor umbrella is not reflective of our normal coloring abilities lol. I post under the name wildflower on Instagram so u can see my version under your hashtag and have a good giggle.
What you are describing is the same for me with my Fibromyalgia/Neuropathy. Those are all the classic signs of Fibro. I find bruises on me I don't know how I got them. My skin is so sensitive that wearing clothes hurt. I gave up on wearing a bra. I can't regulate my body temp. My hands and feet burn but when you touch them they are cold . When they feel cold the are burning. I have found putting hands and feet in cool water helps with the burning sensation. Has your doctor sent you to pool therapy? It gets your body moving with little pain and that warm water felt so good.. Relieved so much pain for me.
Oh and yes I have fibromyalgia too and my flares in the beginning were exactly what you described. I used to tell my best friend I had the 365 day flu. They aren’t as intense now (almost 13 years later) and now I seem to have the fatigue and brain fog worse or it may be that I’ve just grown accustomed to the pain. And yes I was diagnosed when I was 27 and those first 3-4 years were extremely hard for me because I’ve always been a go go go kind of person and to suddenly be stopped cold by something I didn’t understand and at the time that most people thought was imaginary or a psychiatric disorder was so difficult. I literally mourned my previous life and the life I thought I was going to have but now couldn’t. If you let yourself give in to it you could have a major pity party. But give yourself permission to have down days then get up the next day and try it again. It does get easier over time.
Sweetie you're being so hard on yourself, the umbrella looks so beautiful with the autumn colors you used, and the dots, gorgeous 👌🏼 have you seen mine, I put dots practically in all my pictures 🤣 Looking forward to see Mr. Books' pictures as well 😊 So happy to be participating in this color along, is my first one and I'm having a wonderful experience seeing everyone's pictures 💖💖💖
I have fibromyalgia and yes you’ve described exactly how I experience Fybro…my legs burn, I have tender spots that feel like it’s bruised. This sounds bad, but I can’t handle being hugged…it’s so painful, I’m always pushing people away, like don’t hug me, please. I have super tender spots at the base of my skull, on my arms, my shoulders, the bottom of my back, especially my hips and my thighs, they always feel like they are swollen. For me , personally, the more I move the worse it is, especially the next day, I’ll be stuck in bed. I also describe it as a really bad flu that never goes away. You are not alone. You have my e-mail. Please don’t hesitate to use it. I’m alone, all the time, so your not bothering me. We can commiserate together. I’m not sure if I told you but I developed fibromyalgia at 27, so I was super young to get sick with a disease that leaves a person trapped in the house. It sucks😘💘💖💝🇨🇦
I have fibro too. That bruised skin feeling is the worst. I feel your pain, literally. Gentle hugs 🤗
Hi Becks I think you did great 👍🏻 remember have fun with it 🙂 looking forward to your next video. Be well ! Happy Coloring!
I was so excited to start coloring along with this! I’d love to see you do some live streams and color these together ❤️❤️❤️

@@BecksAndBooks Hi, no I am not on Instagram. Only TH-cam and FB🙂

What??? Who said you can’t give dogs baths more than once a month? 😂 hell no, my dog would be sooooo stinky he would not allowed to stay in the house.

I’m sorry I was unable to join the color and chat 😔
Your as hard on yourself as ever it was good Becks
I wish I could color along. But I spent what little I had to get the Christmas book for that color along
Honey, return that book to Amazon! I don’t know if you saw my video but it’s stolen artwork. They’ll refund you.

That’s a good idea!👍🏼 Thanks!😊
If I do a color and story time, do you mind if I mention your name for being the one to bring up the idea?
@@BecksAndBooks yes, I’m completely okay with you mentioning my name. 😊 I’m glad you like the idea. :3
