Large coloring book declutter / destash - adult coloring

[@FiveEighteenBlog]

Decluttering feels amazing and is so life changing, ive been going through my home and decluttering every corner

[@emmacolours2020]

It is nice not to have lots of stuff every where that isn't being used

[@maryellenthompson8261]

That’s quite a declutter! Sometimes a good declutter is necessary. I decluttered some of my coloring books a while ago. Now, I need to declutter my colored pencils, and then all my paper craft items. All those items sound like a lot but I no longer do paper crafting and I had sunk so much money into it that it would be a shame to waste it. Also, I have several brands of colored pencils that I can part with and not miss them. I have no clue where I’m going to take everything.

[@emmacolours2020]

Oh wow..... You should put some stuff on ebay hun you would probably get some of your money back that way..... And if you know ppl that still papercraft they will def take some stuff off your hands I would imagine lol

Thank you hun..... Yes I am fighting my dragon nature lol

@@emmacolours2020 you’re welcome dear Emma! I think I’ve subdued my inner monster. It occasionally pops it head up. I give it a crumb and then it goes back to sleep. 😅🤣

Lmao...... Aye it does feel like that sometimes doesn't it

The only 2 color by number type books i have is the mosiac stone book with a cactus on the cover ( your cover looks like an ice cream, maybe volume 2?), and the Questopia book with the tiger...... But I notice so many people love them. Your giveaway will make a lot of people happy.

[@emmacolours2020]

Yes they are very popular books and fun to relax to... Hopefully it will

[@maybee_tomorrow]

hey there! i'm so proud of u that u giving away some of ur books, and letting them get a new home, its really great imo! i would like to put my hands on urs Angie Grace book ;], but im not from UK, so i will be dreaming about it, and some day, will get my own copy from amazon. :) much love! :*

[@emmacolours2020]

Hi hun.... Thank you very much

[@callmecali]

Nice job decluttering ! I hope your books find nice homes 😃 👍🏻

[@emmacolours2020]

Thank you very much hun

[@joannahaas5892]

Loved your video. I've decluttered my stash several times. So many books seemed like good ideas at the time after watching fips, but I've never gotten to them. Some found homes with friends and family and others went to our local thrift store in hope of giving coloring joy to others.

[@emmacolours2020]

Hi hun.... Thank you..... Yes its lovely to share the joy of these books with others as I will never get around to all of them lol

[@susanbernier9399]

That was very brave of you Emma! I’m sure that whoever gets the these will be very happy!

[@emmacolours2020]

I am trying to be ruthless lol.... Its hard tho

[@angelacalder328]

Lovely video Emma. So kind of you to re gift your books you are a lovely lady xx

[@emmacolours2020]

I don't like things to be wasted

[@ArtJourneyUK]

Good girl! I think people would love to receive a book giveaway with a page coloured by you... your pages are beautiful. You will do a second pass... and third pass...and then reach book equilibrium, just enough for you.

[@emmacolours2020]

Yes gotta be in stages I think lol

[@amberlesilencia3728]

I actually like christmas coloring books, but I never color in them. In that time of year, I just can't find the time to sit and color and when it's over, I'm no longer in the mood for it. Was surprised, when I heard, that you wanted to declutter some of your books! Yes, it is hard to let go, but when we are honest to ourselves, we don't need that much. So, it was something different and very interesting to see, what you can let go of!

[@emmacolours2020]

Hi hun...... I have to be more realistic with myself about what I will actually color in lol.... I love Xmas but I am the same I never end up coloring Xmas pages

[@yazosoyo]

Hi Emma! Congratulations! I know how hard it is to part with things, some of these books are so beautiful. Too bad I’m on the other side of the ocean, otherwise I would gladly pay for a couple of those. 🙂

[@emmacolours2020]

Thank you very much hun... Myes lol you need to move here

[@jennpeters9010]

I have wanted that sweet shoppe book for ages!!!!! Too bad Im in Canada😭😭

[@emmacolours2020]

Hehe you need to move over here

[@JojozaHannaHawaii]

I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the declutter process. Tfs🌺

[@emmacolours2020]

Thank you very much hun

[@bethbrady8146]

Such a good idea! Well done it is so hard!

[@emmacolours2020]

Thank you very much hun..... Yes it really is I think I will have to be a bit tougher next time lol

[@colorfulcolorist6532]

You're really getting rid of a lot of books. :) Good job. I just got rid of about 8 or 10, but then turned around and bought almost that many more. :)

[@emmacolours2020]

Hi hun...... Yes thats the problem sometimes isn't it..... Cause I still buy books I need to really get better at being a bit more ruthless with my choices lol

[@sonyaoart]

Maybe you should have let more go, but this is a solid start. Lots of lovely books that will make someone else very happy. Oh, and I’m sure most people wouldn’t mind receiving a book in a giveaway with one page coloured. That Christmas tree looks beautiful

[@emmacolours2020]

Thank you very much..... Yes I m going to give it a little time and then do round 2 lol

[@Flashy.Colors]

Very interesting video Emma, loved to hear your thoughts on why you're letting these books go. I've passed on a few books I purchased too 😊

[@emmacolours2020]

Thank you very much hun glad you enjoyed it

[@jicolourist]

For give aways with a coloured page would be awesome for you to sign the page done, then give away.

[@emmacolours2020]

Do you think anyone would want that..... I definately don't mind adding it if anyone fancies having it

[@brenda1144]

Yes I was thinking same thing it would be awesome

[@MMSacca]

I agree Emma with these 2 lovely ladies. It would be great for you to sign the pages you’ve done if you’re going to do the give away. I think even if your going to sell a book that a page or pages you’ve colored. You’re a great colorist and many of us would love to have a colored image by you.. 🤗🙌🏼

[@lisam3708]

I agree also!

[@LindaLearnstoColor]

I agree, don’t mind a page that’s completed😍

[@myepictbr6968]

I very much enjoyed the video! I am just starting my colouring journey and I am very interested in some of the books. Is there a way to buy them?

[@emmacolours2020]

Hi hun..... If you are from the UK sure..... Just message me on instsgram

[@crossstitchbutton]

Great job Emma must admit I always get rid of some before I buy others, I keep myself to two kallax shelves of books. Happy colouring, could you do one of the ones you kept? Xxx

[@emmacolours2020]

Yes.... I have to be tougher and more realistic about just how much I can actually get round to..... With the channel its hard to know what things to keep sometimes..... And hehe I think I might just about manage to find something to color still

[@crossstitchbutton]

@@emmacolours2020 Sorry I meant could you do a video of the books you kept 😁😁 xx

[@ArtJourneyUK]

Maureen is a declutter guru. Two kallax squares is where I started... I’m now at 4... but sticking there.

[@emmacolours2020]

Hehe just for you when I do my next declutter I ll do a walk through of my deciding so you can see 😉

Have you thought about setting up an Instagram destash page to sell them on? I've seen people do it with yarn 🤗

[@emmacolours2020]

Ooo that is a very good idea I tend to mostly pass them on I only sell a small amount so I ll just stick them on ebay probably

[@Victoriacolouringquest]

I randomly go through my books and take the ones that are not my style anymore off the shelves. I try to find new homes for them with other colorists and then donate.

[@emmacolours2020]

Yes it's quite nice to release things we know we re not using to let others use them for sure
