I haven’t colored since I was a kid. I’d love to give it another try as a grown up this time.
I like to color in my room: it is the most peaceful place in the house and my sanctuary. I can color, draw, read, there as it is quite. Thanks for the chance 🙂 jslbrown2009 at aol dot com
anytime anywhere
I get all cozy in my bed and relax with a cup of tea.
Love to color, sometimes everyone needs a creative outlet.
I have never stopped coloring from when I was a kid – in fact, every September, I buy myself a new pack of crayons. I have always found it relaxing and fun and there is no wrong way to do it (contrary to what the teachers told me when I was 6 years old). I even hang my own colorings on my refrigerator – hehe!
Colouring helps me de stress, I have my own like crafting corner. So I curl up once my children are in bed and relax with some colouring x
Coloring makes me happy – I love to get absorbed by the process. I have always told people that when I grow up I want to be four – what a great way to hold on to that – Color away!
I love coloring at night in my rocking chair while watching tv with my husband. It’s a relaxing activity. I’ve always loved coloring!
I like drawing on the beach at sunset or sunrise as it is a really inspirational time and place <3
Coloring is my zen. It calms me down and let’s my worries fade away as I focus of the color I’m using and the page I’m working on at that moment. I would love to have these to give me more of a challenge!
I like to color at home preferably while it’s quiet and I have a hot cup of tea.
like to color when my toddler sits down to color. It relaxes me
My grandchildren and I sit around the coffee table in the living room. We love to color and put our pictures on the fridge for everyone to see.
i like to color with my 2 grandchildren..and its precious time and memories spent with my granddaughters
I dont just love it, i need it! It is so helpful and life saving for me.. its the best tool i found to soothe my high anxiety. Thx 🙂 ♡
I like to color because it lets me be in the moment instead of trying to multitask. I like to use a desk in my bedroom for the most focus, but often color in the office or at the kitchen table.
my 14 yo daughter and I have started coloring together at home. It’s a nice way to bond with a ternager!
It is so relaxing. I grab a cup of tea, pull up a chair at the dining table, and color till my heart’s content.
I like to color in the sunshine! Helps your mind to clear.
During my lunch break – it is something away from the electronics and gives my mind a creative boost.
I have always loved coloring, it’s a creative outlet for me and one of the best stress relievers EVER! I love to color in my easy chair in the silence of my living room.
I like to color in our living room while we are watching tv. Coloring is calming and I feel more relaxed when I color.
I love to color and use it as a relaxing time for myself. Often I color sitting outside waiting for my granddaughters to get off the bus in the afternoon. Or I sit at my desk to end a busy day with some quiet coloring. I love these book and hope that I get to be the lucky winner!
My granddaughter loves to draw and she did not get that from me! But we can color together and hers are better than mine! Love doing this together on the living room floor or couch!
I always liked to color, always had books and crayons around for my ten nieces and nephews when they came over. I am sixty-eight and still love to color
After a day at clinicals for school to decompress at home.
They say the first step is to admit it……OK, I am a coloring addict!!!! I can’t help myself! thanks for the great give away!
I like to color in my craft room when I have some quiet time.
I like to color with my grown daughter… stress relieving activity!

I color at night when I can’t sleep. I’m usually in my study when I color.
Coloring is relaxing, especially when everyone around you is watching tv in the family room.
I love to color any time anywhere. Coloring is the most relaxing thing I do.
I have been coloring for years. One day my 94 year old mother commented on my coloring and thought she might enjoy it. I gave her a book I had and she is hooked. It is very hard for elderly to entertain themselves and this I has been a wonderful thing for her. She spends most her days in her living room coloring and then showing off her work when I come by. If I won this book I would gift it to her.
I, too, have recently jumped on the coloring craze bandwagon. I have been using markers, which is a medium I ordinarily do not use. I often color while in bed at night…find it very relaxing. I also recommend it for those who are in a creative funk. I find it to be the impetus to get back to creating.
Love to color…do with my grandchildren often. It’s always amazing to see what you end up with from a blank piece of paper!
I color with my daughter, it gives us a chance to work together and she loves helping.
I like to color when I can’t stop thinking. It helps stop the negative mind chatter. It becomes almost meditative. I love to do this in my room with beautiful music playing.
The kitchen island is always my favorite coloring place as it has the best light. Coloring brings color to my life–especially in January when Vermont is pretty white.

i like to color at the table with my daughters while my oldest colors. It’s fun to take a break from ‘adulting’ and just have fun.
I color when the fancy takes my heart and where, it is a calming tool when life and works comes up behind you and blind tackles you.
I like to color in the Family Room and on the Porch. Those are places I want to be able to relax and coloring helps to get me there.
I like coloring in my living room because it has tons of natural light.
I love to color with my coffee on the back deck on a sunny day. The colors look so amazing in the sunlight!
i color in bed. i like to put on a good movie, bring out my tray, and color as i watch. my boyfriend and dogs would rather i go to the living room, but… whatever.
I love to color at my kitchen table where the light is good and plenty of room to lay out all my colors. love coloring!!
Coloring is so fun and
brings back childhood
memories! I like to
color in my craft shed.

I work from home so I like to color in my home office after I’m done with work, so I can get calm and relax before continuing with anything else I have to do.
Blending colors to make something beautiful is amazing
Coloring is very calming for me. I like to color wherever it’s quiet and the light is good (preferably natural light).
