I am so sorry to hear about your daughter - bullying is such a cruel thing and can cause so much trauma. I can tell it has hit you bad - go spend the time just being there for your daughter. She is far more important than us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Two years later and watched your video. Watched so many budget color videos and your honest review helped me decide. Appreciate your down to earth attitude and hope your family's situation has been resolved.
I am so very sorry for the struggles and pain your family is currently for ex to deal with. If you have a higher power I hope you can find some comfort and relief their even if your family IS your higher power. My prayers are with you and your family. Know that you are loved and appreciated.
So sorry to hear about your daughter, look after her and each other, our youngest child was bullied in school, she has PTSD due to this, love and support is the only thing you as a parent can do, she is away at university now and every so often I get a phone call and we breath and talk through from a distance, I hear what your saying and yes your daughter and family need you and you more importantly need them. Kia Kaha Harry. Will watch you when things have settled.❤️ So happy you did this review, I’m waiting on my Brutfuner pencils it’s been over a month so hopefully not to much longer now.
Take care Harry... your daughter and family come first. I hope that it all resolves well but please don't rush back as we can all understand priorities .
I love your channel and appreciate all your honest reviews of these products. That being said, I wish you and your family all the best and hope your daughter is ok. I hope to see you continuing to do reviews but, of course, family always comes first.
My heart aches thinking about of what your daughter might have go through, I have a son myself and I would feel destroyed if he was bullied. Stay strong as a family, I hope your daughter doesn't have to interact with this mentally sick people, because that's what they are, I hope she can find good people and friends in her life. Best wishes to you and your family. My thoughts are with your family.
Well, said M.C. V.A.. It is a certain type of pain that a parent can understand so well. It is hard to feel so helpless against the evil in this world. It can really drag you down sometimes. But there is power in numbers. Lots of good vibes out here with your viewers and and they are all being sent to you and your family.❤️
I just found your channel and am sad you may not be continuing with it, however I am very sorry for you and your family for what you must be going through. Family always comes first. ❤️
Hi Naomi thank you so much for stopping by the channel. If I am unable to continue on with the channel I will be leaving it all online in any case for others to check out. I really hope I am able to continue on and it is not something I want to stop, it’s just right now I feel deflated and worn down and perhaps just need both a rest and more importantly to know my daughter will be okay. But whatever happens the content of The Art Gear Guide will remain. Thank you so much
I sincerely hope you and your family are starting a journey into healing. My stepdaughter suffered the worst kind of bullying too, imagine the worst, yes, that kind of worst…She’s now past that now, and she’s become a beautiful, tougher and smart young adult. I’m sure we are all going to be here when you decide it’s time to continue. Your reviews are so unbiased and knowledgeable, you bring a lot to the art community on making smart decisions, specially during these pandemic times, when smart decisions need to be made about how money is spent. With so many new products being thrown at us, you are a guiding light into not mindlessly buying pencils sets just because they are “trending” and being reviewed by amateur colorists, no disrespect intended, because I am an absolute amateur, but I’m not interested into collecting all the pencils sets nor wasting money.
Sending ❤❤❤ and positive energy to your family. I'm a victim of Bullying, never got therapy or my family didnt knew of it so I was on my own. If your daughter anything like me she is resilient, she will survive. It was my creativity that keep going, maybe she can pick up hobby?
Any unexpected and shocking news takes time to absorb and you need time to work through it. I am so sorry your daughter and family are going through this. Family absolutely comes first. Take care of all of you and I hope and pray you all come out stronger for it. Much love to you all.
Dear Harry, I am so sorry to hear about this situation. I know you have spoken about your daughter before, and I was hoping her circumstances had improved. I wish only the best for your daughter, you, and the rest of your family. Please take the time you need to tend to your family. We will all be here for you if you are able to return.
Family always comes first. That goes for us all. I'm sure everybody understands that. So you don't have to feel like you are letting us, the subs, down. Our lives dont change, if there is only 1 review a month or 1 a year. But your family's life, can change drastically, if you don't set them first. 💜 Love your frog. 😍 And I'm noticing that you did not say "I'm no artist". I'm really enjoying to see how you grow into a pencil artist😀 Great job Harry. Great review as always 😀
Harry I am so incredibly sorry for your daughter. Thank you for being open about why you may need to step back for awhile. I would have worried about you if you hadn’t explained. Knowing she has her family behind her and that she can talk to you and her mom about it is huge for her. If it is appropriate please let us know how she is getting along periodically. We are all rooting for her.
I just started watching you and I want to say that I wish you and your family all the best, and for your daughter, I hope she gets through all of that really fast and gets better soon, humans can be very cruel.
Hi Harry, I'm so sad for what your daughter and your family is going through. I went through a similar difficulty with my own daughter and I know how much it hurts. At her worst she tried to end it all and came extremely close to succeeding. It was 7 years ago and I still get teary thinking about it now. The good news that with time and help things got a lot better. Do whatever you need to do for you and your family to get through this. If you can't do many reviews for a while so be it. Don't stop drawing for yourself though, it may be the only thing that keeps you going. My mistake was not to make a small amount of time for me because my girl needed me so much. But it's a bit like the aeroplane oxygen mask if you put yours on you can help them next. As for your channel Harry, we'll be here for you when you get the time to get back but you and your family must always come first. Be kind to yourself Harry, as a family you will make it through this, sending love from Australia. Annette
I am sooooo sorry about your sweet daughter. Bullying should be ILLEGAL for the damages it causes to the victim and the family that loves that victim. I just have no words but I will tell you that your daughter and your family are in my prayers. There is a greater "good" power out there. With a love far greater than we can ever understand or even imagine. Evil has no way to beat it. Period. I send my prayers and love to your family at this difficult time. Do what you need to do. We will still be here IF and when you decide to return. You did not have to explain anything to us, but I am so glad you did. It gives all your viewers who love you a have a chance to help you in a way that we can. Lots of love from Texas!! God bless you all with all my heart.❤️
I’m so sorry your daughter and yourself went through bullying to such awful proportions! I wish for the Universe to hold you in a big soothing embrace! Family comes first …take care of yourself and your daughter
I'm really sorry to hear of your family's struggle. I really enjoy your videos and value your opinions. I hope your family can find strength and heal from this hard time.
Sad to hear about your daughter. Bullying is so evil. You and your family will be in my prayers. May God give you strength and grant you healing. I always appreciate your reviews, very thorough.
Harry, please take care of each other, my heart goes out to you all. No one deserves what you are going through at the moment.Everyone will be here when you feel ready and able to do your Art Gear Guide.
As always, I wish only the best for your daughter and the whole family. Stay strong and take care of family. They should always come first. Hugs to all.
Dear Harry, I am so sad to hear what is happening with your family , specially with your daughter. Do not worry, we love you and understand that you have to be with her. Hopefully she will be feeling better soon . I have this set and the 520 set arrived last week, they are beautiful for amateurs like me. Thank you for your excellent reviews.
I hope your family situation gets better soon. Healing prayers sent your way! Good review of these Brutfuner square pencils! The sharpening isn't an issue with a Dahle 133 or a sharpener with a larger opening in my experience. I love them!
Awwww ur such a sweet man. I love your accent and your attitude. I’m just starting out and I enjoy do cartooning. I want to buy a decent middle price color pencils but some of the prices I saw online our very expensive. I appreciate everything you said in this video and agree everyone budget is different especially now during covid. I kn my budget is tight yet I want decent pencils ✏️.
Thank you for the review. I just ordered my set today from Amazon USA FOR $25.50 for this exact set. I am looking forward to use these pencils with my coloring books. Best of luck with your daughter. Thank you.
Thank you for the review! I’ve always wanted to try these out! And thanks for the heads up on the 520 set! They just started floating around my recommendations and thought I trust the company in providing pretty good pencils, having 520 colors makes me doubt how distinct each color would be from one another. They’re probably trying to attract people who have thought about subscribing to the Felissimo 500 colored pencils but couldn’t commit to the uncancelable monthly $50 commitment, such as myself hahaha
I am one who got the Fellisimos and found the company very decent to deal with. I had to pause the subscription a couple of times because of holidays and they were so accommodating. Love those pencils very much...
Thank you so much for this review Harry, I enjoy all your reviews /videos, so informative and detailed and you are so kind. I want to send all my best for your daughter and family, and do take the time you need.
Please take the time you need to look after yourselves. You fans will come back both for the reviews and for yourself. You are respected and loved. Sending you healing and hugs.
Thoughts are with you, obviously you're all devastated with the turn of events. I really hope life improves for you and your daughter finds peace and healing. Best wishes, don't worry about this stuff, we all understand.
Sending good vibes your way for you and your family, Harry. Thank you for all the free content you've provided throughout the years. The information you have provided has helped inspiring colored pencil artists and myself ten-fold. I will say a prayer for you and especially your daughter. God bless💛
I'm heartbroken for your daughter, bullying has lifelong ramifications so thank god you got her therapy. Wishing you all all the best and sending your daughter hugs, strength and hopefully happiness xxx
As an adult that went through horrific bullying and abuse as a child I have spent years in therapy. It is horrible what human beings can do to each other. I truly and deeply with all of my heart pray for you family and your daughter’s healing especially. I can hear the stress and sadness in your voice when you speak of this. Stay strong and focus on those you love. 🌸 Hadassah
So so sorry to hear about your daughter. Bullying is an awful thing to experience. Family is of the utmost importance. Take care and come back when you can. Hugs and prayers sent your way.🤗🙏 As for sharpening the BRUTS 120 square, the DAHLE 133 has worked great for many of us that have this square set. No issues with any sharpening.
I wish you lots of strength to overcome these difficulties. You are a very nice and honest person and I am sure that you have a wonderful family, and you deserve the best. I hope that your lovely daughter overcome everything and be a stronger and better person. Thank you for the review. By the way, I ordered Nyoni pencils after your review. I don't expect them to arrive in the next months, but I am looking forward to draw with them in September.
I, within the past year, found your channel. You give the best, most detailed reviews. I have made "happy" purchases after watching your reviews. I appreciate the time, effort, as well as cost that you put in to these reviews. Thank You!! I wish all the best to you and your family. I hope things are better for your daughter.
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter.... Sending prayers your way... New to your channel. Been checking out different brands of coloring pencils. These ones was on my list to review. A lot of pencils to think about. Hope you have a great 4th July weekend.
I have the squares....and I also have a 160 of rounds and they actually are diff (laydown, colors, core thickness, etc). I use budget when I'm just practicing, doing tutorials or messing with a new technique/subject. Helps to reserve my expensive polys and lums for commission work.
Your family comes first. I personally will be here waiting for you. So take your time and heal your daughter and family. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Love and hugz to yous…if you need a break take one and regroup…I have the 520 set already and they all have names on…yes they do…Someone had to be first and I just took a chance…I have a fondness for Brutfuner as you know…🥰🥰
I am watching this video 3 years later. So I hope that, by now, your daughter it's in a better place than she was 3y ago. I hope she has all of your love and support still to this day and that she is now happy.
So sorry to hear of the issues that Amelia and your family are having to address. Understandable that your family comes first. My 🙏 for all of you as always.
Thank you for an excellent review as always. You are so professional and thorough in what you present. I very recently purchased this set and was pleasantly surprised by their quality. I too had some issues with sharpening but am glad to see that this is more an issue at the beginning of the pencils usage. Much as I enjoy your channel I agree that family must always come first. So you should do what is right for you and your family. Wishing you and your family all the best for the future.
I am so happy that I found your channel. You provide so much information which helps beginners like me understand the colored pencil world. You are the best and most honest person in giving your opinions. I was watching your other video of the over 520 pencils which would I think overwhelm me in trying to keep this amount of pencils organized. Anyway, I was searching for more of your wisdom on TH-cam and came across this page. My heart ached for you, your daughter and wife for what your daughter had to endure. I find as I get older I see that kids can get cruelest and it needs to stop. I hope everyone is trying to move on from this horrible incident. As parents, we would gladly carry their pain. When it comes to our family, we, as parents have the heavy burden of holding how we feel within and just show, support and give our love to our children. My husband and I faced a most difficult challenge in that my 17 year old son was killed by a drunk driver. Even though we were suffering inside, we held it together for our 14 year old daughter who worshiped our son. It was a very difficult time for all of us. Hubby and I both went back to work in a week. I worked for a trial attorney who needed me. They say time heals all pain, but the time seemed to move slower. We are all fine. I pray that, mostly your precious daughter, is moving on. It will take time but I just know you and your wife have given her all your love with bunches of hugs and words of support. God Bless you.
I'm sending love and prayers to you ,your wife, and certainly your daughter, please know y'all are in my heart and prayers, I love your channel, I value your opinion and find you are truthful and honest so Thank you! ❤️
I don't think people would mind if you only uploaded sparsely instead of weekly. Take care of yourself and your family Harry. I hope you always know you have thousands of people cheering for your family and also your daughter. I'm sure many of your watchers have gone through different extremely hard situations with their family as well. So you are never alone, even when it feels like you are alone. Best wishes.
I just found you but I’m so sorry hearing about your daughter. You and your family will be in my prayers. I was bullied bad in school too and it was horrible. I don’t know how old she is but it’s a long road but family support means everything. What helped me was self defense classes. The physical activity and the ability to protect myself helped so much. Therapy is really important too.
Thank you for your dedication and this honest review; I didn’t knew this brand !! I tend to neglect the paper quality when I use colored pencils ( because most of the time, I work with mixed media). As a human being and as a mom, I completely understand that your family comes first. I personally believe that people will still come around your work and reviews even if you take a (very necessary) break from it. When a new brand or any news about colored pencils pops out, I simply think of your reviews; you became a cornerstone reference and thus can work at your own pace. ( Hope what I wrote makes sense as I am not an english native !)
Hi Harry. I simply love your channel and always looks forward to the next video, but, your family needs you, for however long it takes. I’m just upset to hear that your daughter has been through such trauma and that it’s left you all devastated.. my heart goes out to you all and wish for a smooth recovery process. Your fan base will always be here awaiting your eventual return ♥️ x
Hello Harry It saddened me to listen to what your daughter's coming through. I'm really sorry. Take care of your family, we will be here sending our thoughts and best wishes for you all to overcome this trauma
I hope you can take all the time you need to help deal with your family. Family comes first. Your reviews have helped me to find inspiration for my art, and supplies that I can trust. I look forward to your return, in your own time.
Oh no, so sorry to hear about what had happened to your daughter :/ Totally understand if you don't want to pump out so many reviews in the future or cancel the channel altogether. Family and friends come first and always should, especially when times are hard and really calling for families to stick together. I've always felt like an oddball in school and felt bullied for most of my school years and I've been lucky and really thankful to have my family around back then (and nowadays). All the best wishes for your daughter and family, greets, hugs and kisses from Germany.
Is there any way to keep the colors from fading by light? If I put Rangers Glozzy accent on it? Or ranger micro glaze? Will that trap the colors inside?
From a person who was bullied in school to your daughter, my heart goes put to her. Kids can be wicked and put the victim through hell. I can relate all too well. God bless her and you and her mom, be strong.
Family first Harry, anyone who is a fan of the channel will support whatever steps you take going forward, sending love to all and I hope Amelia can recover with the help of therapy and move on with her life in a happier place.
So sorry your daughter has been bullied, it’s so hard to deal with. You take care of your family, they come first. We will be here when you can come back. Thanks for reviewing these pencils. Mine are on the way.
God bless you, your sweet daughter and family. Although I enjoy your reviews, your family is priority. I wish your daughter, you and your family the very best in life moving forward.
So very sorry to hear about your daughter. I wish you all the best. I can tell that your heart is not in this at this time. As all the others have said, family is first. Take a break and support your family, they are most important.
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter - bullying is such a cruel thing and can cause so much trauma. I can tell it has hit you bad - go spend the time just being there for your daughter. She is far more important than us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Two years later and watched your video. Watched so many budget color videos and your honest review helped me decide.
Appreciate your down to earth attitude and hope your family's situation has been resolved.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for your support
Best wishes for your daughter. I hope that all gets weil. Of course, Family comes first. Greetings from Germany
I am so very sorry for the struggles and pain your family is currently for ex to deal with. If you have a higher power I hope you can find some comfort and relief their even if your family IS your higher power. My prayers are with you and your family. Know that you are loved and appreciated.
So sorry to hear about your daughter, look after her and each other, our youngest child was bullied in school, she has PTSD due to this, love and support is the only thing you as a parent can do, she is away at university now and every so often I get a phone call and we breath and talk through from a distance, I hear what your saying and yes your daughter and family need you and you more importantly need them. Kia Kaha Harry. Will watch you when things have settled.❤️
So happy you did this review, I’m waiting on my Brutfuner pencils it’s been over a month so hopefully not to much longer now.

Take care Harry... your daughter and family come first. I hope that it all resolves well but please don't rush back as we can all understand priorities .
I love your channel and appreciate all your honest reviews of these products. That being said, I wish you and your family all the best and hope your daughter is ok. I hope to see you continuing to do reviews but, of course, family always comes first.
Time has a way of healing most wounds so take as much time you need. I am so sorry for the pain your daughter and your family is going through.
So so sorry to hear about your daughter and I hope all is well for you and your family!
My heart aches thinking about of what your daughter might have go through, I have a son myself and I would feel destroyed if he was bullied. Stay strong as a family, I hope your daughter doesn't have to interact with this mentally sick people, because that's what they are, I hope she can find good people and friends in her life.

Oh, holding you and your family in the light, and hoping for better times ahead! Take care of yourselves and take all the time you need to process.
So so sorry to hear about your daughter. Bullying is an awful thing to experience. Family is of the utmost importance. Take care and come back when you can. Hugs and prayers sent your way.🤗🙏 As for sharpening the BRUTS 120 square, the DAHLE 133 has worked great for many of us that have this square set. No issues with any sharpening.
I can hear your shattered heart. I hope you and your family find the path to healing and peace no matter the time it takes to traverse that path.
I wish you lots of strength to overcome these difficulties. You are a very nice and honest person and I am sure that you have a wonderful family, and you deserve the best. I hope that your lovely daughter overcome everything and be a stronger and better person. Thank you for the review. By the way, I ordered Nyoni pencils after your review. I don't expect them to arrive in the next months, but I am looking forward to draw with them in September.
I, within the past year, found your channel. You give the best, most detailed reviews. I have made "happy" purchases after watching your reviews. I appreciate the time, effort, as well as cost that you put in to these reviews. Thank You!! I wish all the best to you and your family. I hope things are better for your daughter.
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter.... Sending prayers your way... New to your channel. Been checking out different brands of coloring pencils. These ones was on my list to review. A lot of pencils to think about. Hope you have a great 4th July weekend.
wow, this is best colored pencil review I have seen
Family comes first Harry, great review as always, thinking of you and your family 💜
Family always comes first, Harry and we are sending all the positive and healing vibes out to you. A huge fan from Canada xoxo
Family first! We will understand! Thank you for being honest and I am sure you and your family will get through together!
I have the squares....and I also have a 160 of rounds and they actually are diff (laydown, colors, core thickness, etc). I use budget when I'm just practicing, doing tutorials or messing with a new technique/subject. Helps to reserve my expensive polys and lums for commission work.
Your family comes first. I personally will be here waiting for you. So take your time and heal your daughter and family. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Thanks for all you do Harry your a great artist but family first hope all gets better we'll be here when you come back. Take care
Prayers and hugs for you and your family.
Love and hugz to yous…if you need a break take one and regroup…I have the 520 set already and they all have names on…yes they do…Someone had to be first and I just took a chance…I have a fondness for Brutfuner as you know…🥰🥰
Gentle hugs to you and the family. We will be here.
I am watching this video 3 years later. So I hope that, by now, your daughter it's in a better place than she was 3y ago. I hope she has all of your love and support still to this day and that she is now happy.
So sorry to hear of the issues that Amelia and your family are having to address. Understandable that your family comes first. My 🙏 for all of you as always.
Thank you for an excellent review as always. You are so professional and thorough in what you present. I very recently purchased this set and was pleasantly surprised by their quality. I too had some issues with sharpening but am glad to see that this is more an issue at the beginning of the pencils usage. Much as I enjoy your channel I agree that family must always come first. So you should do what is right for you and your family. Wishing you and your family all the best for the future.
I am so happy that I found your channel. You provide so much information which helps beginners like me understand the colored pencil world. You are the best and most honest person in giving your opinions. I was watching your other video of the over 520 pencils which would I think overwhelm me in trying to keep this amount of pencils organized. Anyway, I was searching for more of your wisdom on TH-cam and came across this page. My heart ached for you, your daughter and wife for what your daughter had to endure. I find as I get older I see that kids can get cruelest and it needs to stop. I hope everyone is trying to move on from this horrible incident. As parents, we would gladly carry their pain. When it comes to our family, we, as parents have the heavy burden of holding how we feel within and just show, support and give our love to our children. My husband and I faced a most difficult challenge in that my 17 year old son was killed by a drunk driver. Even though we were suffering inside, we held it together for our 14 year old daughter who worshiped our son. It was a very difficult time for all of us. Hubby and I both went back to work in a week. I worked for a trial attorney who needed me. They say time heals all pain, but the time seemed to move slower. We are all fine. I pray that, mostly your precious daughter, is moving on. It will take time but I just know you and your wife have given her all your love with bunches of hugs and words of support. God Bless you.
OH MY GOD!!! Being color blind and having a legend like that, that can be personally made! I so freaking love!!
I'm sending love and prayers to you ,your wife, and certainly your daughter, please know y'all are in my heart and prayers, I love your channel, I value your opinion and find you are truthful and honest so Thank you! ❤️
I don't think people would mind if you only uploaded sparsely instead of weekly. Take care of yourself and your family Harry.
I hope you always know you have thousands of people cheering for your family and also your daughter. I'm sure many of your watchers have gone through different extremely hard situations with their family as well.
So you are never alone, even when it feels like you are alone. Best wishes.
I just found you but I’m so sorry hearing about your daughter. You and your family will be in my prayers. I was bullied bad in school too and it was horrible. I don’t know how old she is but it’s a long road but family support means everything. What helped me was self defense classes. The physical activity and the ability to protect myself helped so much. Therapy is really important too.
Thank you for your dedication and this honest review; I didn’t knew this brand !! I tend to neglect the paper quality when I use colored pencils ( because most of the time, I work with mixed media).
As a human being and as a mom, I completely understand that your family comes first. I personally believe that people will still come around your work and reviews even if you take a (very necessary) break from it. When a new brand or any news about colored pencils pops out, I simply think of your reviews; you became a cornerstone reference and thus can work at your own pace. ( Hope what I wrote makes sense as I am not an english native !)
Hi Harry. I simply love your channel and always looks forward to the next video, but, your family needs you, for however long it takes. I’m just upset to hear that your daughter has been through such trauma and that it’s left you all devastated.. my heart goes out to you all and wish for a smooth recovery process. Your fan base will always be here awaiting your eventual return ♥️ x
Hello Harry
It saddened me to listen to what your daughter's coming through. I'm really sorry. Take care of your family, we will be here sending our thoughts and best wishes for you all to overcome this trauma
All the best for you and your family....may u find some peace and be able to move forward into a much brighter future 🙂
I hope you can take all the time you need to help deal with your family. Family comes first. Your reviews have helped me to find inspiration for my art, and supplies that I can trust. I look forward to your return, in your own time.
Oh no, so sorry to hear about what had happened to your daughter :/ Totally understand if you don't want to pump out so many reviews in the future or cancel the channel altogether. Family and friends come first and always should, especially when times are hard and really calling for families to stick together. I've always felt like an oddball in school and felt bullied for most of my school years and I've been lucky and really thankful to have my family around back then (and nowadays).
All the best wishes for your daughter and family, greets, hugs and kisses from Germany.
Prayers for your family. Like these pencils...I'm not a professional artist so I'm satisfied.
You must do whatever is best for your family. I hope things can get better for you all.
Is there any way to keep the colors from fading by light? If I put Rangers Glozzy accent on it? Or ranger micro glaze? Will that trap the colors inside?
Caran dache full blender will stop fading.
From a person who was bullied in school to your daughter, my heart goes put to her. Kids can be wicked and put the victim through hell. I can relate all too well. God bless her and you and her mom, be strong.
Wish you and your familiy all the best!
Thank you for review. Wish you all the best during the difficult time.
Family first Harry, anyone who is a fan of the channel will support whatever steps you take going forward, sending love to all and I hope Amelia can recover with the help of therapy and move on with her life in a happier place.
So sorry your daughter has been bullied, it’s so hard to deal with. You take care of your family, they come first. We will be here when you can come back. Thanks for reviewing these pencils. Mine are on the way.
I have these and your review is great. That ball really popped on the test page before you even blended it.
Hope all is well with your youngest daughter. I was bullied very badly myself for years. Thank you for your review.
We support your daughter, she isn't alone, she has you
God bless you, your sweet daughter and family. Although I enjoy your reviews, your family is priority. I wish your daughter, you and your family the very best in life moving forward.
You can use the Google Lens App for translating the color names on the pencils. Works really well.
Thank you!!
Thank you for your honesty… You Rock!!!
Sending love and best wishes you and your family xx
The best to your daughter and famly. What you decide to do you will have to! God bless!
So very sorry to hear about your daughter. I wish you all the best. I can tell that your heart is not in this at this time. As all the others have said, family is first. Take a break and support your family, they are most important.
