Real Talk: A Quick Coloring Book Production Update 🛠️💫
Published 8 months ago • 1 min read
Hey Reader!
I just wanted to personally pop into your inbox with a quick update about your coloring book preorder — and give you a behind-the-scenes peek at what’s happening!
Due to a recent spike in manufacturing and printing costs, I’ve made the decision not to move forward with my usual printing partner for this run. BUT — before you worry — this is actually turning into a beautiful pivot. I’ll be hand-binding your books myself right here at home! 💪🏽✨
Here’s what that means for you:
📬 No delays — Your order is still set to ship within the original estimated window!
🎨 Top-tier quality — I’ll be using the same heavy cardstock you’ve seen me use during my live coloring sessions, so you already know it’s thick, luxurious, and perfect for your favorite mediums.
🔁 Faster restocks in the future — Without the middleman, I can refill inventory much quicker, which means more coloring joy, faster.

And don’t worry — this shift doesn’t mean I’m abandoning printers forever. If demand grows or if a future collection calls for it, I’ll absolutely return to professional manufacturing. But right now, this DIY route is the best way to keep things on track without compromising on quality (in fact, it might even be better than ever — trust me, Amazon could never 😉).
I just wanted to be 100% transparent with you, because your trust and support mean everything to me. If you have any questions at all, feel free to hit reply — I’ve got you!
On another note, I just published my very first artist vlog on YouTube! I'm sharing my journey through the first chapter of The Artist's Way, taking you along for my very first artist date, and getting super vulnerable about some personal struggles I've faced. Honestly, I was nervous to post it because it's far from perfect, but I'm embracing the messy reality of creativity!
I'd be honored if you'd watch, support, and subscribe—especially since TikTok's future is uncertain again. Your support on YouTube means the world to me!
Thank you again for preordering, believing in my art, and being part of this colorful journey. I can’t wait to get these beauties into your hands soon! 💕
