I was asked yesterday about all of my colored pencils and my gel pens and markers. I have been collecting these for years and I used to get them at A.C Moore, a craft store I used to frequent in Maryland. Now that they have shut down though I found a specific site that sells markers and pencils. The prices aren't bad either and I'm hoping to make a small order for Christmas. I have so many shades of each different color. They say that coloring is a de-stresser because instead of thinking about your problems, you're more focused on the colors you're using on your picture. We kind of took that to heart in this family lol. One of the main rules we have is that we don't color in the coloring books. We copy the pages so we can re-color them over and over. Which is great because I am my own worst critic and half the time end up not liking what I did. Does anyone else color here?

Like everything else I collect, it took years. My mom's is about as big as mine since we get the same ones. Though I tend to lean more to the blues and purples

I love using colored pencils in my sketchbook. I like to make my own coloring book, so to speak, by doodling in my sketchbook. More recently I have been using colored pencils along with watercolors. It is fun.
