I wanted to give some coloring books to a friend who colors, and found very nice ones with complex designs at the store "5 below." The store is new to us and I had not been in it more than once or twice, but I saw their ad flyer in the paper and decided to check out the books. They were $4 each and there were several to choose from. I saw some for at least $10 more at Michael's, but was pleased with what I got at 5 below.

I found another good reason to buy them. We have a Down`s son, he is quite bright, and I though he might like to try it. He had been doing felt coloring and had a good eye for color. Well, he loves them and is doing one for each of his sister`s, they look so beautiful we plan on framing them also. I have heard there is a little genius in all of us.

I've never stopped coloring! LOL I have a small bookcase filled with children's coloring books I've used over the years for crafting. It's nice to have books available for more of a color challenge to distress with. My grown children will tell you I seldom leave a store without checking for new crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc.

Yep....I sure am. I went to our place in the desert over Thanksgiving and we have no TV connection, so I colored. Got 3 pages done
. I bought the Creative Haven coloring books at Aaron Bros with my 50% off coupon (Creative Cats, Steampunk Designs, and Art Nouveau Animal Designs), got an #*$load of markers, glitter pens, pencils, and am havin' a blast. I'm even having a coloring tea party with my DD and DIL and few of friends and we're gonna color, eat, and drink wine....and maybe tea!!!

Wow, can't wait to see the Laurel Burch book! I have her fabrics showing horses of several years ago, and just bought her dogs panel and some coordinating fabric in that line. The latter was flying off the shelves of our LQS. Love her designs!

Seems these are soo hot right now! Was wondering if my 90 yr old Mom could do these. She has dementhia, does embroidery (which I have to find a pattern & transfer to white fabric & give her 1 color to work with). She doesn't read anymore & does some word search...
