I have started coloring and find it very relaxing and enjoyable, Amazon has a huge selection of beautiful coloring books for adults and many choices for colored pencils which is what i use. It's quite addicting.

I set ours aside to read that  article. I thought it was funny, I too color!

I agree wholeheartedly about coloring becoming addictive!  I alternate between using colored pencils and Staedtler fineliner water-based pens.  I used to love to color as a child.  I'm so glad that it's now become "fashionable" for adults also!  Some of the patterns in the books are absolutely incredible!  And such an affordable hobby!!!

I would like to try the Staedler Fineline Water Based oens that you mentioned. I checked and they have two types. One mentioned fiber tips and the other didn't. Which do you suggest? Thanks in advance.

The ones I'm using are Staedtler triplus fineliner porous point pens.  I love them.  And one of the nice features is that they say they won't dry out if you leave the cap off for days!

Luvtopaint....I have been coloring with my granddaughter and realized how much I missed it! I found some great adult coloring books on-line and they also have free pages to down-load  and print. 

There are times that I want to do somethihng crafty but physical issues keep me from it. Coloring would be perfecrt to do right on my lap-desk .

Re: Crafters / Jewelry making

 If there are any jewelry makers here I found a site that sells very trendy supplies at a reaaobale price and reasonalble shipping. The size of the crystals are what make them a great deal!

I love the tutorials ...they are so easy!

 

This is Art and Soul Beads

I have some challenges too and not a lot of stamina. I also have a houseful of craft machines,papers and supplies but lately I am ignoring all that and mostly coloring. I just find it relaxing and easy to pick up and do as much or as little as I feel up to. I have spent a fortune on the other stuff but, for now, I'm happy with this inexpensive hobby.

Hi all, I have a question for those of you who purchased the Anna Griffin Butterfly Dies with Autoship: I jusr received my first autoship, it is Halloween dies (awesome, by the way). The set included 4 smaller dies (ghost, bat

 

Spider & owl) & 2 large dies, one of which is pumpkins & the sevond of which is a spider web.

 

My question is: I received 2 of the spider web die which makes mewonder (sorry, cannot get those words separated!) if i am missing a die or if they simply made an error because it is easy for these to stick together.  Did anyone else get this shipment? What dies did you get? (I did get the rubber mat too). Thanks!
