I LOVE that you love those pastels!!! It feels so good that u love them and i did a good job! I was worried you wouldnt like them or use them so its such a relief! I was all worried because they got stuck at the post office during that heat wave and i was afraid they would melt! But they came in when they were supposed to i guess!!! I got shang ra la for a friend and regretted i didnt keep it, so i bought it again! haha! I also got a paint with water book! Ive got it recorded but im having trouble with my editing software so idk whats going to come up first. Anyway, hope all is well! XoXo OMG Thanks for the shout out!!! I appreciate it!

[@HappyCatastrophy]

We will have to do a buddy in Shangri-la soon! I can't wait to see your video on your paint by water book! Which one did you get?

Fantastic coloring pages. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Thanks so much Melissa! 😊 Thank you for watching !

I love seeing all your colored pages and listening to your calm commentary. Loved seeing your little buggy friend hiding in your paints too. We have them here too and they turn up in the most unexpected places possible. For example I was washing my face the other day and laid down the wet washcloth while I examined a spot on my face in the mirror, picked up the washcloth again and started wiping my face thinking "why is my washcloth so scratchy?". Yup, you guess it. while my attention was elsewhere one of the little scary earwigs climbed into the wet washcloth and I used him to wash my face. Very uncomfortable feeling (probably for both me and the earwig).

[@HappyCatastrophy]

hahahahahaha! OH MY GOODNESS! Oh that's so uncomfortably awful I had to laugh. I really really don't like those things. This year, they have been just THICK!! Every year we have one bug that becomes a nuisance but this is the first year it's been earwigs. I, too, am finding them everywhere. I mean...obviously. You saw the video. I waited three days to open that paint set ROFL (he was gone!)

[@barbarahowell2549]

@@HappyCatastrophy Yes they come in waves, for a few years it will be the Box Elder beetles entering the house, then it will be Asian Ladybugs, and then the Earwigs take a turn at it. The Asian ladybugs are the most annoying in my opinion because they have no respect for our personal space or our belongings and when they die in a dresser drawer they leave a yellow stain on the clothes they have hidden in. And they stink!!!

Great video. The cardstock idea is genius. I love alcohol markers, but I was concerned about more than just sacrificing a coloring page. I was concerned with the messy look on the back. That has kept me from using alcohol markers in my books. Thanks.

[@HappyCatastrophy]

You are so welcome Ivy! It really tidies the book up and makes it easier to look through without cringing at the messy backs of the pages. I would love to see what you do!!

[@SheilaDogs]

Awesome coloring! I love the cardstock on the pages. 😊🐕❤❤

[@HappyCatastrophy]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@doodlerobot42]

Wow!! Candice what a great month. My personal favorites are the giraffe, Fairy Wonderland, and the Labyrinth pages. All are amazing!! 🤍🖖👽

[@HappyCatastrophy]

thank you so much!!! i am trying to push the envelope… break out of the box… whatever metaphor that means i’m tired of coloring the same way all the time and want to challenge myself more! Channel my inner Doodle Robot!!

Lovely Work Candice Really beautiful pages. May I ask which set of Rosa Watercolour paints are those. Would be grateful for a link.💐💐💐

[@HappyCatastrophy]

I love Rosa's watercolor paints! They are so rich and vibrant. Here is the link...the prices have gone up since I purchased them. But I love supporting Ukraine small business and these watercolors are beautiful.bit.ly/3NBA7VB

What are the oil pastels you used in the crystals and potion bottles? I know you stated Mungyo (I think) - but I can't find pearlescent ones on Amazon. They do, however, make metallic ones. Thinking perhaps that's the ones you have??? I'd like to know for I really do like the way the crystals came out. Thanks much! :)

[@HappyCatastrophy]

Hi! They are the Mungyo Water Soluble Oil Pastels - Pearl version. There is also Vibrant and then regular. It looks like the Pearl is sold out everywhere but I found a set on Ebay for $25 (too much!) and this good looking set on Mercury for $11! That's a great price. If you don't want a used set keep searching..I'm sure Amazon and other online art stores will restock the Pearl. The metallics you found might be their regular oil pastels which are not water soluble. I like the water soluble ones so I can blend them like paint. Hope this helps!! www.mercari.com/us/item/m37687624524/?srsltid=AfmBOoo2eCwe3fsJXh5rsh0MzkdMF6IO6oyNBNCKmIHJqjvdqnCMtKhe_38
