Hey girlfriend! You really did a Mardi Gras job on this Mandala! So cheerful and full of vibrant colors! So glad to hear Gary is on the mend, it always takes a while to recoup from such a surgery. That is CRAZY about the bill... errr! Oh, the music was great for the video but I couldn’t color for wiggling my butt to the music...lol I am so dying to know if you do your nails or have them done. They are really pretty. Mine are awful and gotta do something about them !! Oh and I liked the floral border you put at the end as well. I was wondering, so like what does Gary and your sons think of your new found celebrity?? 🤩 We all know you have a life beyond the ColorTube so don’t worry, your devoted fans will be right here for you. As far as the new things with Jade Summer, I was a bit put out with the end of the pdf’s but now the prices are rising? I will be a bit more selective as well. There are SO many great books out there, and I have soo many already! Gotta do more in them to justify their cost... lol But, it is business and rarely EVER? does anything go down in price but on sale or clearance and I’m more picky about what I spend my money on... I’m way behind on your videos this week, having one of THOSE WEEKS I guess... I’ll get it together in a day or so. Your videos helped me feel like coloring again even. Gotta dash... Take care of you and Gary too. Much 💕 BG
My nails are Kiss Impress press on nails. Sometimes I will try a different brand but the impress line I seem to like much more. I just add a dab of nail glue along with the sticky strip to keep them snug. If I am lucky, I can make them last 5 to 7 days. It's about $6 a set so it's still much cheaper than getting the done. They peel off pretty easy when its time. Gary and the kids are okay with ColorTube. Gary's only concern is any added stress I put on myself that wouldn't be there without making videos. He just reminds me why I color and why I started the channel and tells me if I am going to let it be stressful I need to let it go. So, that's good. He keeps me grounded and focused in why I did the to begin with so I dont let things get frustrating. It's hard sometimes.... because let's face I, fee things in life are without stressors. Michael is just indifferent and Jordan thinks it's pretty cool. When I hit 1000 subs he told his room mate in Iraq that his Mom was UA-cam famous. Yeah, not even close, but thanks bud! :) Over all I have a pretty supportive team behind me. I am trying to convince Gary to color for a color and chat. We will see if he gives in. So far the answer is either no, or I cant afford him. Lol
Color With Donna Donna thanx for ur reply about ur nails. They look great and I have a set I’m gonna try... I cracked up about getting Gary to color... it’s tuff to get a man to color... lol So glad u have a good support group, we all need that. But often don’t have it. I also laffed at u when u said ur gonna get Gary to put up ur pix up at the station!!! lol... U have such a good sense of humor!! And I know a lot of us “fans” agree with Gary, to chill and enjoy ur channel cuz we do... Been thinking about tuning into the Facebook site to get to know the rest of the “gang”! I have an iPhone and don’t stay on WiFi that much.. but I do want to share some of my pix... that is soo strange for me, cuz I’m kinda bashful about that but u seem to inspire me soo much!!! That’s so crazy!! But not such a bad thing. Since my other half... steals my finished pix a lot and frames them and hangs them all over the place. Wonder if he thinks it good work or trying to butter me up... lol. Finally had to tell him to stop cuz I like to sign my stuff and date it, with info about the source, what I used and stuff!!! Errr... gotta be a man thing or something. 🤣😎 Had a feeling ur sons were tickled about ur new celebrity status!! Don’t sell ur self so short, girlfriend!! I know ur watching the channel stats and ur coming up on 1400... that’s awesome!!! We love ya girl!! Am also glad y’all were spared the awful tornadoes that caused soo much tragedy!! So many ppl... I am over here on the Gulf coast rite at the W Louisiana border, just 4 miles into Texas... aka Hurricane Alley!! Have lost 2 homes to the dang things!! Hate it! But, overall we are hot and miserable with the HUMIDITY!!! But, I was born and grew up in NJ where my mother is from. But got outta there as fast as I could!! The traffic was awful back then, but when I visit now??? They have made MORE roads that are jammed with the nuts up there! Such attitudes!! Geez! Give me the south any day!! Ain’t nothing wrong with common courtesy and some manners!!! I went to Memphis TN before getting to TX. Love that area!! Just had an ex who would not leave me alone. Thought I was part of the package with his 3 beautiful children, who are grown adults and parents now... I really love being a Grandma cuz I can spoil the kids and not have to walk the floors at night with them like I did with mine. lol I was a single Mother for years. Crazy about all of them. My oldest son, Donnie lives there in the Memphis area ~ a confirmed bachelor!!! Err. My only daughter lives in Spokane WA and she has 2 terrific kids and is now a Grandmother herself! She works too hard!!! Then my youngest son Corey lives here in TX near me. He has 2 beautiful children also... All of my kids have had tuff lives but I am soo proud of all them and how they’ve turned out. Life is RARELY easy or fair but it IS worthwhile!!! Guess I have rambled enuff now so I will say Bye for now!! Keep up the great 👍 work and don’t stress out! We all have crazy lives in one way or another so we know that life Happens!!! U are doing great and truly u have inspired me soo much! Much love... BG ☮️👍💜🎊
I wonder if they sell the cases without the markers? I love the case. I just don't want the markers. *lol* Your picture turned out lovely. I admit I skipped ahead stopping a few times, then straight to the end. I'm not a huge fan of speed coloring since I tend to color or craft while listening/watching videos.
I understand. I am very limited on time with Gary here recovering. I can record an intro then start a sepreate video and mute the sound while I just sit and color with him and the TV and sorts in the back ground then start another video for the ending and put them all together. I am not a fan of speed coloring either, but I am making do for the moment. :) I might do some speed colors just to show my process with the mandala mania but once he is all back to work things should go back to normal for the most part.
@@ColorWithDonna Oh gosh, Hon I wasn't complaining in the least. I'm sorry if it sound liked that. I was happy to see your video pop up and get a quick update on how Gary was doing. I totally understand that life is different for you while he recovers. He needs to rest and get well. The older we get the hard it is to bounce back from stuff. I was actually chuckling because I did just what Dede says to do to her videos to avoid the chit-chat. I heard her in my mind "Just move that slider right on over to skip the chatting". *lol* Oh, I just remembered. When the video started, I was wondering why you were talking so fast...then I realized I had the video sped up. I never do that you and Ann because I love the chit-chat. It's usually tutorial videos where it takes them ages to get to the point. *lol* Again, I'm sorry if I came off sounding harsh or disappointed. That's definitely not what I meant at all. (((hugz)))
@@ColorWithDonna I'm glad you weren't upset. I understood, but failed to communicate that in my first comment. I was my mom's caretaker so I've been there.
Donna and everyone else: per COLORIT: the markers will not restock till summer approximately. Reason....they are changing something....not telling us what. We are guessing refillable and/or more colors. Very secretive.....but worth the wait
I have this book. :) I've posted several pictures from it, on Instagram. :) It's the only mandala book I have. I want to get some more. :) I've mostly used my glitter gel pens in it. :) How long did it actually take you to finish it?
Donna this is the second time of done this only once with you . I hit the link below for the markers and they are out and don’t know if there will be any more in the foreseeable future
I left a link directly to color it also. I saw they were out of stock on Amazon. I left the link anyhow since colorit generally restocks quickly with Amazon.
That turned out very pretty.
Awesome picture. Enjoyed the video. Hope your husband is doing well. Praying for speedy recovery
Thank you Nanci
I have this book. $3 at dollar store. Love it.😁
Beautiful mandala. I'm working on one but it is going to take me a bit to get it finished. I hope your husband is doing very well. :)
Awesome !!!!

Thanks hun
I’ve just started my first mandala! Also using glitter pens too...I know I know just too much excitement for a Sunday afternoon lol xxx💕
I hope your having fun!
$ that coloring book and color it
Hi Donna I got my Marty Nobel mandala book last year at Ollie’s for 99 cents.
Ollie's has steals at times. I have many books from there.
I wonder if they sell the cases without the markers? I love the case. I just don't want the markers. *lol* Your picture turned out lovely. I admit I skipped ahead stopping a few times, then straight to the end. I'm not a huge fan of speed coloring since I tend to color or craft while listening/watching videos.

No, I just wanted you to understand my thought process. :) I wasnt offended in the least.
@@ColorWithDonna I'm glad you weren't upset. I understood, but failed to communicate that in my first comment. I was my mom's caretaker so I've been there.
I think I have this book will look
Donna and everyone else: per COLORIT: the markers will not restock till summer approximately. Reason....they are changing something....not telling us what. We are guessing refillable and/or more colors. Very secretive.....but worth the wait
Oh, thank you. That will be nice to see what comes of that. :)
Maybe brush nib......

I didn’t mean anything against you it’s Amazon that keeps on doing it
I know sweetie
I'm not a big fan of the speed coloring. I like you talking while coloring much better.
Nor am I.....however I hope you understand her husband is recovering from surgery. Be glad for any video at all. ☺
It's okay I understand. I am not a fan of them either unless I am watching to see a technique. :) thigns should get back to normal soon.
Yes, I do understand that... I didn't say it to be rude
