Are you ready for another giveaway?

I hope you are enjoying these gifts I’m offering. Today it’s not quite about reading or writing, but a way to inspire your creativity.

Do you like to colour? Or do you know someone who does? Then this is for you:

Isn’t this a beautiful colouring book for adults? It should inspire your use of colour, your expression of beauty, maybe even ideas for a story.

And just because it’s an adult colouring book, that doesn’t mean it isn’t good for younger persons, too. 🙂

Here are a few of the twenty-four colouring pages found between those pretty covers.

Notice too, on the back of each page you can write your name and the date for a keepsake or a gift for someone. Each page is perforated for easy tear-out and is lovely to frame.

I am happy to offer this gift to you no matter where in the world you are located.

If you want to enter the draw to win this colouring book, please leave a comment telling me how you relax your mind.

I will use Random.org name picker to find out which of you is the winner. Watch here the morning after the draw for the announcement, and don’t forget to check your email. This could be yours!

Draw date for this giveaway is at 10 PM AST, that’s 9 PM Eastern, on Wednesday, May 11. This gives you lots of time to pass the word on to others, too. I will post the winner’s name on May 12.

Remember, you have until May 11 to get your name into the draw, but don’t put it off! Worldwide offer.

Thanks for reading, and … Creative Musings! 🙂

Colouring? Or another form of creative relaxation?

Posted on January 7, 2016 | 8 comments

As I mentioned in my December 29 post I received some books for Christmas. Two of those are colouring books for adults.

Now, you may think a colouring book is a colouring book … all much the same, no real challenge to them. You would be mistaken – as I discovered. There is so much detail to the drawings to colour it took me awhile to get started, but once I did – I found it to be relaxing and enjoyable. I also discovered the perfectionist in me still lives. To be honest, it took me awhile to feel relaxed colouring because of the perfectionist me, but I’m doing better now, although I sometimes tend to hyper focus once I start something new.

Regardless of my fretting over what colour will go with which, and should I even start this picture … it’s so busy! … I have now completed three pages. The next thing, though, is I’m finding colouring could be my newest distraction from my writing goals! oh me

This is the first one I completed and so far it’s my favourite.

There are so many ways to interpret this art with colour. I’m not sure what my choice says about ME – (any ideas?) – seeing as I used and varied all the colours available to me. 🙂 Another more subtle shading would have resulted in a calmer image.
