I had an hour long nap yesterday. I'm so enjoying the darker days (see opposite of seasonal affective disorder re summer). Finally, colouring. Nodding. Do you like the smell of crayons? Like are you crazy about it? If yes, well, wow. Laughing. Good morning.AFishGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513718005250273753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-57184163136533084152016-12-01T07:43:47.577-08:002016-12-01T07:43:47.577-08:00My husband and daughter have always loved to color...My husband and daughter have always loved to color. When she was small, they would sit together and color for what seemed like hours. A few years ago, my daughter began coloring the "grown up" coloring books. Last Christmas I got a coloring book and pencils for my husband. He did it for a while but didn't like all the tiny detail. He did, however, find this sweet little book from grandparent to grandchild and he's coloring that to give to our granddaughter. It does relax him. Oddly, my granddaughter has never been big for coloring in books but she'll draw and write until the cows come home.<br /><br />This is a wonderful suggestion, Cathy, and your daughter-in-law is onto something with that wonderful tradition!<br />Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-30205234846785460572016-12-01T07:29:43.503-08:002016-12-01T07:29:43.503-08:00cathy there to so much truth to this! and what a ...cathy there to so much truth to this! and what a gift we can give ourselves to relieve our stressed out heads this time of year!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153095149911030832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-70173855699527009822016-12-01T06:44:05.566-08:002016-12-01T06:44:05.566-08:00I loved/love to color.

Like you said, it is therapeutic. <br />In fact I recently went out and bought myself an adult coloring book and some Prism color pencils. <br />Need to get started on it.<br />Thanks for sharing.<br />diane @ <a href="http://www.augcott.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">thoughts&shots</a>diane https://www.blogger.com/profile/15657047642999526311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-74266943587099326512016-12-01T06:39:55.532-08:002016-12-01T06:39:55.532-08:00Love this!

They have several coloring books (all Disney princesses, of course!) and tons of markers and crayons at my house. They love when I sit down and color with them (and so do I). I've seen those "adult" coloring books and thought they would be fun to try but as yet I haven't purchased one. I love your daughter-in-law's tradition of having the family color a Christmas page every year! Thanks for the links. I may just have to get myself a coloring book at give this a try!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.com
