I Organized And Stored 10,411 Pens, Pencils And Markers. It took me 6 full days to do it, but now that it's done I am so inspired. I will show you how I did it and what I used.

I just plowed through all my gel pens, and gave about 700 of them to my son's girlfriend, I just don't use them anymore. Your pencil organization was just whoa!! Excellent video. ❤ My Poscas are still going strong but I don't use them that much.

What a therapeutic thing for you to do. I’ve watched many of your coloring tutorials and prayed for you through your heartbreak. Just starting this one….. I hate that people criticize others. Who cares how many pencils someone else has. You bring joy to many with yours ….. so here goes!!!!!!!

Thank you. It's been a rough year.

I feel the same, the only way mine are stored together is in a pencil case and there all budgets are stored together and all others by themselves. I cannot afford to buy small cases for every set. For instance I have a Derwent case and all and everything Derwent goes there……now I have lightfast, Pastel and inktense, I’ll start a new case for them.

[@danettetrostle7173]

Wow!…I just moved and gave many of my pencils away and I still a bunch. When you said the container were getting heavy.. my mover couldn’t believe how heavy my yarn was. It’s because I layered my pencil tins in my yarn so they wouldn’t get broke. The only thing that broke was their backs 😎

Quite a accomplishment 👏 👌 great job that will help you be able to find the perfect colors you need. That's great you are donating to kids who can get lots of use of them.2 of my granddaughters followed their Mom's footsteps and are assistant teachers for disabled children. From kindergarten to high school one works at a elementary school and one works at a high school. They both have been there several years and love it they both worked with their mom all through high school did it as one of their classes. So did one of my grandson's. They also watch some of the kids when school was out they still do it whenever they can. So bless you for donating instead of just giving them away to anyone else ♥

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

That is a LOT of pencils. I thought I had a lot, with 3 sets (2 x 72s and 1 x 24s). Wow. And what a task, sorting them all! The result is so pretty, it's a work of art in itself. My art stuff hasn't yet migrated to the bedroom but I have a cabinet on the landing with all my 12 x 12 papers in it. At the moment my studio is a total tip because I'm doing drawing downstairs and when I'm not using it, it turns into a dumping ground. A week long project awaits me - to have a blitz in there so I can actually get in the room lol!!

You wouldn't believe what is going on with the pencils now. I haven't seen them in over 6 months. I am working on the video explaining. Look at the community tab on my account for a slight hint what has been going on.

I’m only allowing myself to have one set of each type of pencil. I started with brutfuner. Then bought Polychromos to have a firmer set. Now I’ve purchased prismacolor to replace the brutfuner as my softer set. The brutfuner now go to my 4 year old and her monte marte set go to grandmas. She did have steadler norris but those went in the bin. No one deserves that kind of torture. Especially children 🤣 she’s been enjoying my alcohol markers lately and is about to inherit those when I upgrade. She definitely appreciates good coloring supplies and from the moment she tried alcohol markers, refuses to use water based. I can’t say I blame her to be honest 😂

Surely you must realize you will never use even a small fraction of your collection of colored pencils. What will happen to the others? Sooner or later they will all be given away. Hopefully they will not simply be tossed out. For myself I lately have been giving away anything I don't need or use. Sometimes I bring them to an official organization, other times I make a small package and put it where someone will just discover it. It brings me alot of pleasure doing this, plus I feel lighter in a way that is hard to describe. . There are so many who don't have enough, or aren't even exposed to it.

OMG I have never heard of that. I used to get moths in bird seed when I bought it in bulk. I know exactly what that stringy mess is like that they leave behind.

[@junekeene7721]

@@ColorMyWorld we used to have 2 parrots and encountered the moths from the bird seed. Then someone told me to freeze the bags before opening them. The freezing kills the moths, larvae and eggs. Never had a problem after that.

We will always give house room to our adored fur babies but never give house room to the dreaded moths lol! I've never heard of them eating pencils before... One of our kitties loves pens, pencils and paintbrushes, and will pat them onto the floor to play with them and chase them under the furniture. I am always very careful not to leave my coloured pencils vulnerable to her or they would fall on the floor and the leads would break inside them! She also likes to chew them and quite a few of my hubby's pencils and paintbrushes and ink pens (he does pen and watercolour wash) have her tooth marks on them!

@@junekeene7721 My hubby would think I'd gone even more completely mad over my art if he found pencils in the freezer lol lol!!

I would do a lot of things for a set of walnut hollow 😢😢

[@ColorMyWorld]

I know. You can get them on Ebay if you check often. They are among my favorite pencils. Sad they were never appreciated back when they made them.

Sorry…,here again, where did you get the 3 section acrylic divider. What brand and where. The separators look good.

[@ColorMyWorld]

I got it at Walmart. I don't know the brand. I took off the sticker.

Are you not doing videos anymore. I haven’t seen anything new in months.

Hi sweetie miss you

[@ColorMyWorld]

Hi Dawn. I have been back for a while now. It's been a really rough year. I am back full time and you will be seeing me a lot. Since I have no life, maybe too much.

[@dawndeany3049]

I need get new gel pin I us them lot time her

[@ColorMyWorld]

They dry up for me a lot, but I live in the desert.

[@Colorista_1]

Actually, seeing that huge collection that no one could ever use in a lifetime. I know many other channels use those pencils in giveaways, and some use them for colorists who just can't afford a decent set of pencils. I don't know.....some food for thought. Y'all have a blessed day

[@LeeDee5]

She said they’ll go to children and that’s already great. Not everything needs to be given away on KZbin.

[@CrystalsColorStyle]

Part of her job is reviewing pencils, plus she states in the video that she's giving some away. Lori does a lot of charity stuff.

[@cassiefoster8856]

I get what you are saying but it is not her responsibility to give away stuff to people online because they cannot afford certain color pencils or because she has so many. That is like asking people who collect cars to give them away since they have so many. Kind of tacky. It comes off rude implying that she should give away her personal belongings that she uses her money to buy. There are also many channels who never give stuff away either. To each their own!

[@ColorMyWorld]

Before I even started I pulled out sets that I already gave away. Every friend with children and every neighbor has pencils from me. I also set aside over 1000 pencils seen in the video for the disabled children where my Daughter works. I do send out pencils to my subscribers too. When the star joy pencils were developed I sent out 20 sets to people who couldn't afford them. Some of the people who received them are commenting here now.

[@wtb61]

OCD?

[@ColorMyWorld]

I wish. Maybe it would stay this way. Most likely the pencils will end up in the working draws until I can't close them and then put back into the bins.
