I color in my kitchen/living room. I like to color, and have for years, because it is a form of meditation and I am already diagnosed with chronic clinical depression. Anything that relaxes me is welcome. I have a combined set of pencils that just about fills a 4″x5″ container. I have tested each pencil to make sure the colors are different even when the name of the color on the pencil is the same.
I love to color on my patio at lunchtime. It’s a relaxing way to take a break from the daily grind.
Color when my 3 year old is napping in my lap! It’s my one chance during the day to relax with him and enjoy a hobby at the same time.
I have Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis and started coloring as a way to be creative when my joints hurt and limit my abilities to function. I am recovering from a broken ankle and coloring helps me feel calm as I heal.
My husband & I are retired and have recently started enjoying this adult coloring trend. At first it was just myself but was amazed to find he enjoys it also. As we are snow birds traveling in an RV we color when the weather keeps us inside, while we are watching TV in the evenings, and while we are relaxing the mornings.
I like coloring hanging out on my couch because it just adds to the relaxation!
I like to color w/ pencils or markers whenever I’m waiting somewhere to pass the time productively and calmly: @ the salon, doctors’ offices, meeting, an athletic event or concert.
It’s relaxing and gives me a chance to spend a quiet evening by myself.
I love to color after a day of work, to relax. I let my mind wander and that de-stresses me. It’s almost like meditating!
I’d love one of these because it would help me unwind from a stressful day of work and family activities.
I like colouring outside… then you get the relaxation of the colouring, and some nice fresh air at the same time. 🙂
I love to color while passing the time waiting for appointments or while watching TV. It’s very relaxing!
I like to color while watching tv. I use the commercial time to be creative. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your drawing.
Curl up on the sofa, it gives me a good position and lighting to color in.
It is stress relief! I love to color outside in nice weather under my apple tree!
When the kids go off to school I sit & color, very relaxing & it’s nice to do it when it’s quiet.
I just recently got into the adult coloring and love it. I loved coloring when I was younger and unfortunately no grandchildren yet to color with. I found it to be relaxing and you are creating a beautiful picture at the same time. You can do it anywhere. Highly recommend it to everybody.
I color anywhere and everywhere. I use it to relieve stress. I even have a stash of coloring books in my office for students to use if they need to relieve stress. They have the option of taking the pages or leaving them with me. I use the ones they leave for office decorations. A little unorthodox for a college campus, but that’s my style. 🙂
I like to color to relax and/or relieve stress. My favorite place to color is in my seldom-used living room…it’s a quiet place (away from the television) and has the best natural light.
Sometimes after my granddaughter leaves I like to color her a page to surprise her!
I like to color especially at times when I am feeling stressed or anxious as it really helps to relax me.
At the kitchen table of course. The lighting is good, the family is there and it’s in the center of all things good. The grandkids love to color along with me and even my husbands joins in.
I like to color in my living room because it’s the brightest roomin my house. I color because it relaxing.
I love to color to take my mind away from worries and stress. Just a few strokes and the day changes.
Who would have thought this 67 year old found some pleasures coloring. Yep I do..
I love to color in my backyard. We moved this summer and it is the first time in 15 years I have had my own private outdoor space. Coloring is so relaxing and keeps my brain busy in a creative way. I love to create.
Love to color on the weekends, listening to the radio, while its raining. Ha, really any time I have free I love to color.
I like to color all the time because it is relaxing.
I love to color in our playroom with my two “monsters” – ages 4 & 6. It’s relaxing, it’s something we all enjoy, and my son and daughter think that it’s awesome Mommy Iikes an activity that’s “just for little kids”! 😀
In my bed. It really relaxes me and takes my mind off smoking, which I’m trying to quit.
My daughter and i color together every night before she goes to bed. After her twin brother and sister go to sleep very much bonding time for us.
Something that I’m rediscovery. Very calming and beautiful
In my sewing room. no one bothers me there. Also no one will color in my book without my permission.
I have always loved colofing. That was one of my most prized christmas present when I was a kid. I always got a big fat coloring book and crayons that wouldlast for a year. Still find myself coloring to this day.
Coloring is creative and fun! I enjoy doing it while watching TV.
I like to color in my rocking chair next to the window, with my dog at my feet, and a nice hot mug of tea on the table. It is my relaxing time, especially after a difficult day. (I’m a Crisis Counselor.)
I have been coloring for years! I have always loved coloring, and will color till my time’s up. I color at home, in the car, anywhere I can. Great stress relief.
I have always loved to color…I still do !!
Crayons, colored pencils, markers! Oh my! I love to color with our neighbor kids here in ALBANIA. I love it because it gives us all a chance to be creative. Nothing beats time spent with children and a box of crayons!
We have a sun room at work where my groups color. They can chit chat as they color and it eases their minds. I color everywhere. Doesn’t matter to me where you color but the effects of coloring are very comforting.
I haven’t colored since I was a young mother, too long ago to mention. But I would like to color by myself in my craft room to relax and enjoy the process.
I love to color with my great grand daughter who is 3 and make beautiful pictures together. Wanting to get her mother back into it so she can relax too and color her troubles away. Doing any craft helps me to relax and takes away all troubles.
I love to clour in the park. Where I can be with nature.
I love to color with my 5 year old grandson. We color at the doctors office, restaurants, home and anywhere else we find ourselves with time to indulge.
Coloring is good inner therapy. When you are coloring you are concentrating on coloring and your mind is distracted momentarily from life’s worries. I usually color when I’m with my girls, we color together.
Coloring is fun and relaxing. I like to color at home.
I luv to color alone in my room to relax or with my daughter for quality time
I am a Senior Caregiver and coloring is very relaxing for me. I often color at the clients home while they are sleeping. A wonderful, quiet way to pass the time!
I love coloring in my bedroom listening to a movie and curled up in a cozy blanket.
I haven’t started coloring again, yet, but I always loved it and can’t wait to get a book and give it a shot. Who can’t use some stress relief, right?
