GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

| I'm obsessed with the Japanese patterns book! |
So I hitched a ride on the adult coloring books bandwagon and, well, it's been fun. I wouldn't say I was relaxed by it, which is the main reason why this trend exploded—it's supposed to relieve us grown-ups from stress as it is a calming activity. I tried it but I think it's an activity meant to be done when you're all alone. Or when you're with fellow grownups. No kids bumping your elbow and thus messing up your work. No kids yelling at you to "Use this purple pencil on that fish, Mama!" No kids trying to destroy your house and so you get up in a rush to rescue the TV and then when you come back to your coloring activity, you find that the baby has picked up an angry orange marker and slashed away at your meticulously colored page.
Yes, it's definitely an activity with no kids involved!
Still, I've been able to do a few pages and I did enjoy it. See here:
 |
| Used my favorite colors—orange and pink—and then used gold and silver, too. |
 |
| My son Vito helped me color these "rainbow umbrellas." That's what he calls them. |
 |
| I'm still doing the sky page while Vito does the hills page. That's what he calls them, too! |
I have a few more coloring books that I got from Fully Booked. Lemme share them with you so you can see what fun they are!
Fully Booked has a lot of adult coloring books that will suit various personalities. Check these out and see which one fits yours:
 |
| For the animal lover. |
 |
| For the fan of all things pretty. |
 |
| For the woman who is intentional in everything she does. |
 |
| For people who like repetition and symmetry. |
I'm the last type. I like patterns. For me, patterns are soothing. My mommy life is chaotic enough already so the repetition and predictability of patterns calm me.

My favorite color is green because it reminds me of plants, forests, growth and that we have a wonderful world.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is pink because it draws attention without but is not overwhelming, and because it's the signature color of my all-time favorite movie character - Elle Woods.

ReplyDelete"My favorite color is violet because it stimulates my imagination and dreams. You can only achieve this color by combining blue and red. By mixing cool and warm color it encourages creative pursuits. Violet adds magic to my artwork."
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! I picked you because you said you have artwork. I'm sure you'll really use the coloring book! =)
DeleteMy favorite color is RED because it reminds me of food (Mcdo, Jollibee, Pizza Hut, KFC, etc...hehehe) plus my inner Chinese and subconscious craves for that color. I used to love blue but I always end up getting something red until I finally embrace it and made my life easier.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is GOLD because it sparkles :) <3

My favorite color is RED because it is the color of extremes. It's the color that represents the good and the bad of the world and humanity. It symbolizes passion, courage, love and at the same time anger, violence and hatred.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! I picked you because I like how you pointed out how one color can be seen in many ways. Like us people! So no one should judge anybody on their appearance! =)

ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is green because I'm a natural peacemaker! =)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is blue because my life is like a burning fire.
ReplyDeletethe bluer it is the hotter it gets.
CONGRATS! I picked you because you're right—scientifically speaking, blue is the hottest color, not red! =)
DeleteMy favorite color is RED simply because it is the color of BLOOD! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, BLOOD! Since I belong to the medical profession, I always encounter BLOOD, from the beginning of my nursing studies until I became a full-fledged nurse! Thus, I think it's already part of my life and will always be! :-)
RED is also the first primary color that a baby of a few weeks old can see! Wow! A really special color that can be associated with our little ones! ;-)
Some people may say that it is the color of LOVE! Of course, it is, but for me it is the COLOR of LIFE! Since our BLOOD flows all over our body to sustain us with the nutrients and oxygen that we need so we can continue to live each and everyday! :-)
RED symbolizes PASSION - a strong emotion, an intense desire...and this PASSION is what drives me to be the best that I can be! :-)
This color also means BRAVERY, the character the describes me as a person - strong, determined and full of will power! :-)
Lastly, RED for me is for ANGER! That is why my favorite idiomatic expression whenever I am mad is "I see RED"! :-)
CONGRATS! I picked you because what an informative post! =D
DeleteMy favorite color is Turquoise because it is the color of my birthstone! - JP Antiporda :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is red because red is the color of mayaman just like Kris Aquino said lol. And it is the color of love,love,love with laugh (mimicking Kris!).I love red so much I feel happy every time I'm wearing red (birthday celebrant? 😁 or Happy Valentine? )hahhaha.
