I did order some more postcards and a huge package of twistables! <br /><br />Hi, Shirla! I like that needlepoint, yet there are small spaces of time when I have just a few I could be coloring! Here's the dilemma: why isn't a package of 24 Twistables enough? LOLOL.

Don't you love the twistables?? I can't wait for my new package to arrive. And try the Amazon for postcards. Hugs!<br /><br />Hi, Luanna! I had no idea Madeline Hunter was coloring, too.

I just found some 'adult' coloring books on Amazon (I think) that I'm going to order one or two of. I used to have some floral adult books that I loved coloring the intricate designs. Post cards are cute, I've never seen those before. Oh and I have those exact pencils!

I saw some in Mary Maxim, too. <br /><br />I once got a B for coloring a pumpkin out of lines. I went home and practiced so that wouldn't happen again. The pencils I use are Crayola twists--never need sharpening. And they can get more intricate places because the points are thinner. I'll see about adding an image to my post. <br /><br />LOL, Melissa! So that's the secret. I would by the paint color books for my boys and they would do a page and I would do a page and had the best time. And we got to chat about things. Sometimes, I can get them to do puzzles with me and love that.

I think it's awesome. I was always a horrible colorer (is that a word?) but I always loved getting those big boxes of 40 or 50 crayons with the built-in sharpener. But I could never color within the lines. I, too, would love to use a colored pencil and even looked on Amazon for a coloring book that would interest me. But they all looked too intricate. Can you give me any hints? Not that I want one for a 2-year-old; but not one that would cause me to, once again, not stay in the lines.<br />PattiPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512099085568969698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535414384309157179.post-57969878571104632342015-09-30T09:30:55.422-05:002015-09-30T09:30:55.422-05:00Hi, Angela!
