I love flowery pages, there are so many options to blend colours and leave white areas. I like to use Coptic markers and pencil crayons together, they are so versatile.
Love animals …so beautiful
I love mandala coloring books because the patterns are fun to color!
I love coloring!!
Debbi from Florida
I love doing fashion, spiritual, positive affirmations, oceans, and flowers.
The freedom to imagine and create…a trip back to carefree childhood.
Love complex designs, mandalas and really most anything animal related.
I would love to win Adult Coloring books…. sounds like a great way to relax.
This looks like great fun! Very relaxing! Looking forward to ME time!
I love coloring and it’s a perfect way to calm myself!
Anything that can be coloured is a favourite!
Coloring is relaxing and your mind is at rest. You don’t have to keep track of stitches or rows so when you need a break from your knitting or crocheting coloring is the way to go.
Please enter me in the contest.
Never too old to color!
i really like books with mandalas and flowers
i have a coloring book called lazy ass cats which is funny
Even before I had a stroke two years ago, I loved to color. I brought coloring back to the residents at an assisted living facility where I was the Activities Director. It was so freeing to those 80+ year olds to do something they loved. Now, I practice my small motor skills by coloring animals and mandalas. Coloring isn’t just good for the soul, it’s good for getting your physical self back after a stroke.
What makes coloring fun n relaxing is that there is no right or wrong, only what and how you want to do it.
My favorite coloring theme is animals, birds, and butterflies, in that order. It’s so relaxing to color a purple hippo.
My favorite type of coloring book is medium-to-expert patterns. I find that these are best for releasing my mind of bothersome thoughts while expressing my creativity. My second favorite are detailed scenes, such as Johanna Basford’s books.
I like so many different coloring books it is hard to choose what I like best. I quess my first favorite theme is pictures of animals but not ones that are too realistic. I like this because I like to be able to color then any color I want and still have it look nice.
Always fun to have different things to color. my kids love to see how I color things and my kids love to sit and chill with some quiet coloring.
These look like fun coloring books!
I enjoy coloring in adult coloring books. My favorite pictures I enjoy coloring are tattoo pictures or flowers. I find coloring to be extremly relaxing and works well for de-stressing as well.
I love the Mandalas. Its so relaxing and good for the soul.
I love all of the coloring books. I have colored with my kids for years. Now i color with my grandkids. It makes me so happy to relive it again years later. Making memories is what its about.
