Coloring is very relaxing to me. Easy and fun.
I sit on my front porch and color because it calms my nerves and it’s one of the very few things I can do to calm my anxiety that doesn’t flair my Fibromyalgia up
I like to color at home usually on my lap desk in bed. I like it because it’s relaxing and I love different art mediums and all the colors.
I love coloring and my little granddaughter is learning too. She’s just 4 1/2 but stays in the lines mostly. And we usually use our projects into cards afterwards.
Color at home to relax and enjoy the new creation.
Oh, I forgot. The why part is that it’s relaxing and something we can do together. I use oxygen and don’t get around much so I’m always looking for something we can do together – I can’t run, jump and play hopscotch much any more!
Suffering with depression…I find coloring to be a great mood changer. Makes me feel worthy. Crafts and creativity.
I like to color anywhere because it is relaxing.
I love to color in my living room or craft room since they are the most comfortable places 🙂
I color anywhere I can. It is very relaxing and helps you forget your stress for a little while. And you have something pretty when you are done!
i love to color at the beach. it’s so relaxing, both coloring & the sound of the waves crashing in on the beach! being born in ’49, we didn’t have coloring books, or I wasn’t allowed………really don’t remember even having crayons.
I like to color at my dining room table with music playing and my son across from me, coloring in his own book. 🙂
colouring is like an escape pod for me…and immerse myself in colours… somewhere warm and sunny… with a cool breeze.. and a refreshing drink … and I will be lost for hours…
My kids and I color all the time. The coffee table, kitchen table or lying in bed. It’s a natural stress reliever and simply fun!!!!
I color wherever I can. Is it weird that I carry art supplies around in my purse???
I like to color at my desk, and I color to remind me of the simplicity of childhood to relax.
I have recently rediscovered coloring and am wild about it. These books look like a lot of distracting fun!
I enjoy coloring with my 7 year old son. It gives us something to do together and it is relaxing. I like it because it takes us away from the electronics and we can talk while we are doing it.
Coloring is relaxing. I would love to do it at work but someone would probably have a fit. Coloring is excellent if you have a headache…sometimes all you need is a distraction to remove the pain.
I like to color with my almost adult children, it seems to be the precursor for them to share more about their lives.
Anywhere I can! It’s a great de-stresser.
Love to color in the evenings after a long day at work. It’s a zen thing that requires very little direct thought and let’s my brain ‘cool off’!
Thanks for making this great offer!
We color in a group..We get together every 2 weeks at a local coffee shop..To share ideas, giggles, and just plain fun. These books look beautiful.
I absolutely love adult coloring books. They allow me to lose all sense of time and allow me to calm down in a way other relaxation techniques don’t work for me. I also use books like this one with my students in guidance and during counseling.
Will be using the great picture for coloring and inspiration for my Quilting
I love coloring with my 5 year old in the living room. She get her own age appropriate coloring books while I use the grown up ones 🙂 it family bonding time. Usually after school.
I have a brand new box of colored pencils ready to go!
I recently saw these in a store and could not believe how lovely the designs were. They were not in my current budget, but I have loved to color since a little girl. I can totally get lost in a color book
thanks for a chance to win these lovely books
It’s relaxing and gives me a chance to spend quality time with my girls.
I like to color while watching TV. Sound strange? I get great ideas for color combinations from ads and TV/Movie sets.
I like to color with my Daughter in Law as we get some one on one girl talk about the “Hall Men”, aka husband and son!
I work at home and I sometimes take a coloring break at my desk when I get too stressed. I sometimes color in front of the TV too and with my 6 year old granddaughter.
I like to color in private, usually in my studio. It’s very relaxing. You can color and forget about everything else.
I love to color on my deck listening to the birds and feeling the breeze because it heightens the relaxation feeling
wow`what a great treat for someone. coloring is so relaxing but finding time is quite a different story. i feel so much better when i take time out to relax. thanks
I love to color for relaxation. I usually color in the computer room away from TV and other noises.
I’m actually trying to win this for my mother-in-law. She colors everyday! She’s even in a couple of Facebook coloring groups plus a coloring club at our library. This would make a great gift since she’s almost finished with the one I gave her for her birthday…at the end of August. haha!
I like to color at work during lunch. I put in my earbuds, listen to soft music and destress for a bit. 🙂
It takes away my Anxiety
It’s very relaxing to me. Plus I can coordinate with my grandkids and not on their 0ages.
I would like to color when I’m at my chemotherapy treatments so the pages and pictures in the book can take me on an adventure that I’m so much in need of. I’ve wanted one of these adventure in coloring books for so long but my budget just won’t allow it right now. So I’d love to be the recipient of this book give away like you can’t believe. Please help me in my staycation adventure that’s much needed to get away in your books. Pick me please!
I never “outgrew” wanting to color. Anyplace and anytime and I’m 60!
I color with my little girls after school and on the weekends! It is so relaxing!
In my chair at the end of the day to wind down for bed. It’s very calming.
I like to color in my rec room with a large view to my porch and lush back patio with finches fluttering around, wrens and blue jays chirping away, and hanging flowers around the porch with humming birds looking for nectar – it is like being in another world.
I have joined the Adult Coloring book craze and I love it. So relaxing and takes my mind off everything…just what color am I going to use next. I color just about anywhere in my apartment.
Always loved to color it helps my depression and gets my mind off my troubles.
It’s very soothing and distracting.
I never ‘got over’ coloring, as a kid. I just enjoy doing something creative that makes art that is (even with a base that others are going to use) uniquely mine. Coloring book and pencils fit into my bag, and go pretty much anywhere I go. I even color with the kids, when we go to restaurants.
I love coloring outside in nature. It relaxes the soul.
