Massive Coloring Book Haul - April to June 2024

[@tree592]

Omg, I love you. I'm watching this at 5 a.m., and your intro made my day! My husband laughs at me because my "craftroom" is more like a coloring book and supply store. My money, my hobby, and my happiness! You go, girl. No judgment here. Looking forward to more videos.

[@ColourfulSteph]

I also love RJ Hampson’s books. I enjoy having 2nd copies because my daughter is almost 7 and always wants to color the same picture as me. So I just give her the 2nd copy ❤

[@sarahisbell4179]

Great finds! And thanks for sharing the international sites with free shipping!!! Love how you're unapologetic about you purchases. I love collecting coloring books and supplies too

[@martinajohnson8394]

I’m a newer colorist, live in the Midwest & love watching hauls too. I think I’m more collector than colorist at this point 😅… I love supporting artists. Enjoy flipping through my books, dreaming of coloring every page, playing with all the supplies… Just not enough time to do much of it right now. I love watching KZbin colorists and learning from them as I find time to play. Glad to have found your page, look forward to seeing more of you videos. You have shown several artists I’ve not heard of yet. Great haul!

[@jeanriendeau]

Good job, loved seeing all these books and found a new source. 🎨

[@Ce816]

Love your haul! I appreciate you being unapologetic about spending your own money!

[@Taralovescoloring]

Thanks 😊

[@snowhearts69]

Great first video! I love watching hauls and would enjoy seeing some of your completed work.

[@Taralovescoloring]

Thank You! 😊 I plan on showing completed pages when I do my coloring book collection videos, some pages I’m proud of some not so much 😂

[@Qtpie509]

Beautiful books, Beautiful personality, Beautiful channel. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful 🤣 Looking forward to more Beautiful videos!

[@gwenscoggins1]

I LOVE HAULS ! Haul away! Welcome to the coloring community! You are so adorable I enjoyed your video so I did all 3 for you Liked, Subscribed and commented. That ought to satisfy the KZbin algorithm 😅. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

[@latenightcoloringmama]

Great haul! Thank you for sharing!🥰

[@lesleyritchie5085]

The more I listen to you, the more I love your honesty and your choices of books/artists. Mariola Budek is the Queen of hair.. ty for doing this. Btw your quality of this video is fine ❤

[@AmyKatzColors]

the Barbie book is so cute! I still have some Barbie books from the late 80s and was thinking about photocopying the pages because of the paper lol. Good to know that they use better paper now. Welcome to YT I am also a new colorist to social media!

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@AmyKatzColors thanks! Ive seen so many cute books from my childhood (the 80’s) that I also desperately wish were on better paper and scanning/copying them does seem like a good option.

[@amberhedglin]

I still color in children's coloring books just for something easy to color.

[@mariamartoral793]

Thank you for flipping through your haul because it helps to see if they are worth purchasing. Novice here also but an expert at shopping for coloring books. Hahaha

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Great books and great video! Keep it up!

[@franwhitworth2268]

hi i have been wondering wether to do a youtube channel myself and i keep putting it off as im no where near as good at colouring as all the other people on here and myself have only just started to colour and you have inspired me to bite the bullet and set up my tripod and get a video done thank you so so much fore inspireing me hun😃😃 and i am from the UK

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@franwhitworth2268 do it! I was anxious about posting a video because my skills as a colorist are nowhere near a lot of the people that I follow on KZbin, but I felt that I still had something to say/share and I felt like documenting my journey as I learn and grow could be beneficial as well. Let me know when you post and I will definitely subscribe 🥰

[@sueconnor1695]

Hi Tara. I love watching haul videos because I find books I didn't know existed. My daughter has been a Swifty for 15 years so I'll be on a mission now trying to find that. I never would've thought that this was your first video if you hadn't said it. I already have a few of the books you hauled and I wish I owned most of the rest of the books you showed. I've got the cute and comfy book in my cart right now. I've already subscribed and I'll be looking for your next video. If I didn't already say it you did great.

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@sueconnor1695 thank you ☺️🥰. The Taylor Swift book I showed here can be found on Colouring heavens website (shipping is included in the price). I have another Taylor Swift book in my collection that is also a good one that can be found at Amazon/target - it’s SUPER FAN-tastic Taylor Swift Coloring & Activity Book: 30+ Coloring Pages, Photo Gallery, Word Searches, Mazes, & Fun Facts (Design Originals) For Swifties of All Ages - Perforated Pages a.co/d/fXOyMdR

[@saragarddiner9244]

Yes! Good on you Tara! I enjoyed this video. I have been coloring for around 2 years. Still got lots to learn. I enjoy seeing new books. I haven't got many. Take care Sara x

[@diamondslashranch]

Welcome there are a lot of lovely people in the coloring community. Enjoyed your haul.

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@diamondslashranch thanks 😊 I agree, overall I have found the coloring community to be very sweet and supportive of one another!

[@DrennanColors]

Happy to have found your channel! I enjoyed your haul! 😊

[@lovetobecolouring2]

Great books ( I love colouring people too ) your effervescence is charming ❤

[@dominicavila4974]

Great first video! I’m a new colorist as well so I admire your courage to go for it! I think I bought something from the Mercari seller you got the Anastasia books from I saw her sold items and was jealous!!! So lucky! Loved the vid and no you don’t talk too fast, saw a couple comments that said you did.

[@sbonhamleo]

You are doing a great job. Just calm down yourself a little bit. I know it’s nerve wracking to do a video but you are doing great. Can’t wait to see what you color!! ❤❤❤

[@LeandriLourens]

Awesome first video 🎉 Looking forward to your flip througs 😁

[@Taralovescoloring]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Taralovescoloring]

Thank you! I plan to have some up within this week.

[@deborahkingston5063]

Hi Tara welcome, I like your carefree bubbly vibe and your taste in books. I have a Barbie kids book very similar to your one and I love the simplicity but also Quality of the pictures, sometimes these books are just what you need to colour at the end of a busy day. I also like to buy used books and fix up the ones that have already been coloured if salvageable. I have subscribed and can’t wait to see another video from you Happy Colouring.

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@deborahkingston5063 thank you!! 🥰

[@ColouringBikerMama]

I already like you, I also love buying books, going to subscribe!! 🥰

[@ColorfullyInspired]

Great haul! Thank you for sharing. I have not purchased from Mercari, but will have to check them out.

[@Taralovescoloring]

Thanks! I’ve had some good luck in the past finding not only reasonable books but also supplies there, just have to be careful when checking out that you look at the final price as they changed their fee structure 😕

[@ritacoinu7374]

Hi! Thank you for sharing. Sending love from Italy. Rita ❤

[@beatricenowell8207]

Hello, and welcome to the coloring community - as if I'm the ambassador 🤣🤣🤣LOL. No matter. it sounds like you've found many wonderful colorist already. I love your unapologetic haul. Keep them coming. Every time you mentioned a site on which you purchased books at a good price, I felt compelled to check it out. You are a coloring book shopping goddess! The Laure Phelipon Etsy shop was extremely difficult to locate. And it's on break at this time.😥😔😮‍💨The current Anastasia Elly Koldareva Coloring Book on Mercari is $70!, not including shipping. I wish I could find similar deals as it seems we like the same artist, Lana Green, Anastasia Elly Koldareva, Mariola Budek, etc. Thanks for sharing the haul. I would love to see your entire collection someday - once the recording issues are resolved. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@beatricenowell8207 thanks! None of Anastasia’s books are currently available on Mercari, I think the listing you are referring to (for $70) was the one I bought that was $70 for 5 books. I find keeping certain search terms saved or with notifications super handy as it means I’ll see listings that interest me easier and hopefully be able to snatch up good deals. Thank you so much for watching and I’m planning out multiple videos for my full collection/finished pages. 🙂

[@sharlenelam6034]

I’m slow in catching the Etsy store for Laure Phelipon’s books. May I ask what’s the name of the Etsy store? Thank you ❤️

I’d love the link to the first books. I could not get them to come up in a search.

[@Taralovescoloring]

I have another video up which is a flip through of those books which has a link in the description box. The illustrator currently has her shop on vacation mode till later this month (which is why you probably weren’t able to find her on Etsy). Thanks!

Welcome to KZbin / Colourtube 👋🏼 from 🇨🇦

[@amberhedglin]

I'm not sure how to blend alcohol markers,but a lot of other youtubers I watch that color they do an alcohol markers base, then take colored pencils over it.

[@rainingdiamonds9422]

Hi Doll! Glad I found your channel. If you decide to sell your Anastasia books, I would be interested. 😊

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@rainingdiamonds9422 I keep flip flopping about it (even though they are duplicates technically) 😂. If I do I will probably post them on Mercari. I might mention it in the community tab if I do, although I feel a little weird doing that as I don’t want people to think I’m just here to sell them stuff, I’m here to share what I love - hope that makes sense 😕

[@Serenityblu23]

I want some of these books. I need a hobby. What kind of colored pencils do you have?

[@Taralovescoloring]

If you are just starting out Amazon actually has a pretty decent set of “Amazon basics” colored pencils that are affordable and work pretty well. I have a lot of different sets of pencils, Prismacolor is the standard that you will see a lot of people use and are great pencils but aren’t as budget friendly. Faber Castell Albrecht Durers are my favorite pencils (they can be used dry or activated with water) but are on the higher end. So long story short I really recommend if you are starting out either grab a quality budget set or a small set of a better brand.

[@HappyCatastrophy]

[@candicecandice9752]

OMG! where did you find the books from Anastasia Koldareva? I'm looking for so long for these books, especially for the mermaid book? Greetings from Germany Connie

[@Taralovescoloring]

I got them secondhand (but unused) via Mercari (a resale site). I have two of her other newer books that I didn't show in this haul that I got via coolcraftbook on Etsy.

[@amydefalco990]

You are beautiful! Honestly, very enjoyable video. Maybe next time you could say the books name/ author? Or just take a couple extra seconds when you show the cover? I'm frantically trying to write some of the names while I'm watching 😅. Its so nice to see a newer colorist on the scene, thanks

[@Taralovescoloring]

Thank you! You are 100% correct with saying illustrator names/titles, I just got carried away. I’m already making notes for my collection video on titles/authors especially because many of them are not in English. Thanks again for the very useful feedback. 🤔

The one with the yellow cover? If so it’s “draw a lovely you”. - here is the first Etsy link I found www.etsy.com/listing/1040530835/ but I’m sure numerous places online have it

[@lizclimie8901]

Can you tell me the name of the used bookstore you mention? It sounds like you are saying Vicari but I think I’m incorrect. Thank you

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@lizclimie8901 it’s Mercari- it’s not a bookstore but an online marketplace (kind of like eBay or Facebook marketplace). Sometimes I have good luck finding stuff there and other times not, but I think it’s always worth a look! 🙂.

[@amberhedglin]

I am a swiftie also, I'm a huge fan of hers. I'm into manga and anime.

[@susanwaitt1643]

What do you mean by buying it in a lot.

[@Taralovescoloring]

People will list “coloring book lots” on resale sites, it basically just means it’s an assortment of books, they might be different illustrators, different subjects, etc. Just imagine grabbing 10 of your own books at random, if you were to sell them they would be “a lot”. Hope that makes sense! If you go on eBay and search “coloring book lot” you will see what I mean.

[@juliet.colors]

I'm a new colorist/artist and we could do a buddy color if you want

[@lucylu59]

I am the same way, I will never buy AI. I would rather support an actual illustrator. And those AI books all look the same.

[@Taralovescoloring]

@@lucylu59 when I first got into coloring, some of the downloads I purchased on Etsy ended up being AI and they were a pain to color. If others choose to buy those types of books I’m not going to make them feel bad or whatever, but I have no issues saying that I personally will not buy those and I love promoting my favorite artists!

[@janetjackson2157]

You are allowed to have long videos on youtube which we enjoy, but you should really take a breath or two and relax unless you are naturally a speed hyped up talker, lol.

Sorry but my brain hurts from the speed you talk and go through what you're showing. I feel like I'm still spinning. You repeating certain words didn't bother me but omg the 100 mph talking ....sheesh.
