Coloring book!
Permalink  
 


Who got me to buy that beautiful Secret Garden coloring book last year? 

 

Look at the new one coming out soon!

 

http://www.amazon.com/Enchanted-Forest-Inky-Quest-Coloring/dp/1780674880/ref=pd_sim_b_24?ie=UTF8&refRID=0QJ616H6QA5QZNS4MZJH

 

 

I find coloring to be very relaxing.

I like coloring too. I don't have a lot of chances anymore since DD is old.

Oh my. I'll probably buy a few of them. I love my other one. I just have some kind of problem. I literally am so nit picky about colors and which one to use that it cripples me. Today I was wrapping Christmas gifts and it honestly takes me a few minutes to decide which paper to use and then another 5 minutes to pick the right tag. lol! My fiance thinks I need therapy.

DD10 is getting one called "Floral fashions" for Christmas. It's drawings of models wearing dresses that are made out of beautiful flowers. I got it at Michaels. I had to buy her one so she keeps her hands off my Secret Garden.

And I have a hard time not giggling whenever I type the title of that book. Nancy Friday did a soft porn book for women called My Secret Garden.

The gel pens are for me. If I give them to DD her BFF will be owner of them shortly. Her BFF is a size 20w and I've seen her squeeze into DD's size small and medium. Pisses me off to no end.

OMG! I have to order this! I've seen adult coloring books before, but this is really cool! Although, being a perfectionist, it might take me forever to finish a picture because I tend to have a hard time starting something like this because I don't want to screw it up.

 You might want to start with Secret Garden since you can't have the other one, yet.  We all have to wait 3 months.  It's not right.  They put it up there to tease us and not let us have it.

Hello???  You are speaking to my soul!  I got this book last year and have yet to finish a picture.  Ugh.  Buy it.  You won't be disappointed.  Make sure and get yourself some good colored pencils and a sharpener.  Trust me.  Don't use crappy pencils.

I saw that there are two, the older one and the one coming out in a few months. I also almost selected one that was used. Really had to pay attention and make sure it was new.

I can't either! I even signed up for the 30 day trial of Prime to get it in 2 days. That will give me something to do until I can go back to work full time. If I can get past my fear of screwing up the picture! LOL!

I have not seen the books mentioned, but many years ago I completed "The Anatomy Coloring Book" and "The Physiology Coloring Book". It took me awhile because the books were close to an inch thick.  My mediums were Pentel ink pens and coloring pencils. I have seen books of mandalas to color. Not sure of the publisher. I also find coloring relaxing. Does anyone remember the big posters you could color?

 Yes!  I loved those.  And the black velvet ones where you couldn't screw up - those were nice.  DD10 has some now.

Will the library take it back after you've colored it in? smile

THe posters were so much fun. I preferred the all paper ones instead of the velvet ones. I stay in the lines.

Oh my gosh. They have new cursing coloring books. "Calm the f@ck down" is one, and "Swear and relax". They are funny. Here's one of the images -

I enjoy coloring and have various books, color pencils/pens always at the ready.  My latest acquisition is the Doctor Who Coloring Book.  I am currently deciding on which page to color first.  smile

It just doesn't do anything for me...and I've tried. I love the thought of it, but I can't calm my mind enough to enjoy it...

 But have you tried the coloring pages that say "f*ck off" or "cvnt"?  Cause I have to think that would be therapeutic.

I love to color. Next best thing to quilting. :)

HDD has a wonderful adult coloring book. I may have to "borrow" it. ;)
