Smart people that they are, they make the bookmarks one that you can color (like the ones in adult coloring books). I'd managed to finish one and it's so much fun! We still have quite a few to go through.Buckeroomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408502555249594576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-12134888221680834622017-02-09T12:49:05.078-05:002017-02-09T12:49:05.078-05:00Hello young Friend!

However, I'm wondering if my older Grands (the twins turn 14 this weekend) would enjoy coloring in these books? Maybe when I'm in the city I'll see if I can find some. What I like to do for fun and relaxation is edit my photos. I find editing to be a true creative process and very satisfying. Sometimes, I make note cards from my finished products and give them as gifts to friends and family. I've made story books for the kids and also coffee table books of our travels. I like how your mom has found a respite from life's concerns through the coloring process. Sometimes, when life gets us down, we do need to choose a different crayon from the the box!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-60142139996471818792017-02-05T13:29:58.600-05:002017-02-05T13:29:58.600-05:00I've seen the books everywhere.

Leave it to you to actually write about it. :)<br /><br />I haven't tried it thought it's quite possible that I might. I also had jigsaw puzzles in mind as something similar. And cross stitch - which is what I'd prefer to spend TV time doing.. though I haven't done that in years. <br /><br />I love the way your Mom decided she wanted to indulge.

I love coloring in coloring books. You'd think that my expensive art degree would mean otherwise, but it's just quiet play that helps quiet the part of my brain that won't shut up. Coloring with others is fun too. I'm glad you had happy family time :)Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-27982883073207762072017-01-12T21:37:24.657-05:002017-01-12T21:37:24.657-05:00I gave a fancy one of these for a Christmas gift e...I gave a fancy one of these for a Christmas gift exchange, but have never tried it myself.

I'm guessing I would enjoy the adult coloring books even more. I love jigsaws as well, but they take up so much room that I haven't started one in a while. I may just have to go purchase a book. :)ShadowRun300https://www.blogger.com/profile/12135867148518005153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-28082565139028302302017-01-11T19:15:52.899-05:002017-01-11T19:15:52.899-05:00I get it, I can see how it could be relaxing, fun ...I get it, I can see how it could be relaxing, fun and rewarding...me?

I think I stress out too much about choosing colors. Kind of like choosing paint -- I love having color in my house, yet it's a commitment so I really stress about getting just the right shade. So, I relax with jigsaw puzzles! I received one for Christmas, still have one from my birthday that I need to do, and I gave my husband one for Christmas:) Because I like them, haha! We do like working them together though, glass of wine, an hour or two of just chatting and looking for that next piece.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.com
