Are You Coloring?

Mawnin' Loverlies! Today is just a quick little post of a Doodle coloring book I purchased a month ago and have finally started using. I don't know if y'all been seeing the articles on coloring not just being for kids anymore, but I agree with them. Coloring is just as much for adults, it helps you de-stress and stimulates your brain. I like how the Huffington Posts' article explains a bit more on why and how this helps de-stress adults. The coloring book I purchased is called Doodle Designs Coloring Book #2 by Bethany Pease Sheets. I will post a few pages I have colored so y'all can get an idea what this coloring book gives you. You can search on Amazon for different kinds of coloring books for adults. I love the zentangle or zendoodle ones, they have a lot to color in normally. When I was at Hastings the other day there was a tattoo coloring book I thought was quite neat! If I knew how to get myself in this coloring book business, I would enjoy making coloring books to sell. It looks like a lot of fun! Enough of my rambling about these books and on to the pictures! Have a Blessed Day!

I didn't purchase this one, but I thought it was too neat not to show!

Just A Doodlin'

Afternoon Loverlies! Those of y'all out there that read my blog. I'm sorry I have been posting not so much. I just have been trying to help my hubby with his schooling and we haven't had much time to get out. Hopefully when he is done we can get out and I can take some pictures. I miss doing my photography. Once my hubby is out of school, we are going to attempt this thing they call exercise again. We should have time to then. I just find it hard to do by myself. I have been better at getting energy to do more cleaning like I used to. It just is hard sometimes because I get a bit depressed and then I feel like what is the point. I just have to try my best to fight through it.

I am so happy it is finally getting cold! I love wearing sweaters and just being all cozy in them. I hope the cold weather is here to stay finally. Here in Arkansas we were still having 70s weather every few days. It is fall and it needs to be cold, OK WEATHER! lol We haven't turned on the heater just yet because I would hate to turn it on and then have more warm days. I need to get out another card to my Grandfather. I decided to make a little zentangle doodley art. I know it's a bit girly, but I am not the best at making manly drawings. I just hope he enjoys it. I used water colors to color it. I purchased some palettes for my watercolors, but they are taking forever to dry in the palettes. I guess it's the type of watercolors? I have no clue. As long as I can use them, then I guess it works. lol I purchased these palettes for about 4 dollars each at Walmart. Alrighty, enough of the talking and on to the pictures. Have a Blessed day!



What I did for my Grandad




I didn't know that you need to wash the palettes before using them. I am going to have to wash the little trays without messing up my watercolors. I learned you needed to do this form a youtube I watched the other day. So when you buy a new palette make sure to wash them. ;) lol

Zentangle Away!

Evening Loverlies! Been kind of busy this week with appointments and such. Got some books from the library and I need to get on the ball and start reading them! I shall attempt a Nora Roberts book tomorrow. I have never read Nora Roberts before, I really hope I enjoy it. I've been doing some art lately called Zentangle. At least been attempting what I think Zentangle is, lol. Here is a LINK about what type of art Zentangle is. I love it to be honest! I even had a friend ask me to draw a manatee with my Zentangle art so he can consider using it as a tattoo. I will show y'all those drawings once I get it mailed to him, I don't want to ruin his surprise of what I have drawn. lol What I normally do is find silhouette's of animals or anything and just add Zentangles to them. I sometimes just come up with it or find Zentangle patterns online to help me. There are quite a few of Zentangle books at hastings I have noticed. Maybe soon I can plan on purchasing some of them. They also have some Manga art books that look fun to try and attempt! Anyways, I am gonna show you a few drawings I have done so far. They aren't the best picture quality, but I felt you can see them well enough. :) Have A Blessed Day!
