Rose and Becky coloring mandalas
February 2016
Fargo, ND |
Marilyn purchased an adult coloring book and some markers for our great-niece while we were in Fargo. We asked her to color a page for each of us to put on our refrigerators, and she happily started coloring.
Later, she asked her mom to color, too, and then asked Marilyn and me to "judge" the finished mandalas.

| a gift from Sue |
On Saturday, my friend Sue stopped by and surprised me with my own coloring book - one filled with quilt designs. I don't have markers or pencils, so I'll probably use crayons. Thanks for thinking of me, Sue: I love the book and the designs.
I remember in elementary school our teacher would judge our coloring pages and put the best ones on display. I always wanted to "win" but never did. That wasn't a bad thing though. It made me try harder and learn how to make my coloring even more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteColoring is so fun and mindless. So nice to unplug and just veg sometimes. Enjoy and don't forget to share the pretties!
ReplyDeleteA perfect gift for you!!
