To buy myself a colouring book?

[TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersWife]

I used to love doing them as a kid! I quite miss them to be honest. I'm itching to get one and dig out some crayons :o

Should I?

Yes go for it !!

If you want to then do it, it's not like it's an expensive hobby. :)

Yes! I've done them as an adult

I love colouring in, it is so easy and theraputic.

I have been known to sneak a go of DD's Bumper Colouring book from time to time (normally when she's in bed)

ozzy osbourne does this doesn't he.

They even make these!!

YANBU go for it.

I got one for christmas from my sister and some felt tip pens which I am allowed to use on the sofa!!!

I was thrilled

I love colouring in too - very meditative. You can get lovely colouring books for older children/adults eg geometric patterns, intricate flowers, Picasso paintings (I bought a bunch in both the Tate Modern and Foyles bookshop in London).

Dd1 has a beatiful colouring book of fairies.

I bought her a few from the works for christmas.

Use pencils instead of crayons. Less likely to go outside the lines

does anyone remember big geometic prints that we coloured in in the 70s? they came in tubes?

My mum got me one for Christmas!!

It's so relaxing. I'm sure if everyone did a bit of colouring in the world would be a happier place! X

Slightly disappointed it isn't rude

I was actually thinking of this one.

Exactly what Briancox said!

I love colouring and am often found with the DD's colouring books! Very therapeutic!

Threads like this someone always links to this kind of thing

Why did I clink that link??

Some mightily odd folk in this world.

Doodle Designs do lots of fairly grown-up colouring books, eg Impressionists, stained glass, garden designs etc - assuming you'd like something more complicated than Disney princesses?

DD also has some fairly sophisticated ones we found at HobbyCraft - Japanese woodblock prints and that sort of thing.

Or this botanical patterns one looks rather good.

I have ordered the horse one I linked to, can't wait until it's here! :o

Yanbu. I did some colouring in with dd today. Then we decorated the hats we'd coloured in with stickers. It's very therapeutic IMO.

I do them now an then ,love it till my kids find an take over then that's it I have to think about another lol ,its not the same when someone else has done a few pics in it

I love colouring in and bought myself a stained glass patterned book in August - I borrow the DDs posh artist standard felt tips and add in special effect with Crayola Glitter Gel pens (these are brilliant, superb coverage, very smooth and last forever.

It's a form of meditation to me!

YANBU at all. I love doodling/colouring. Used to love those pattern books and still yearn for the giant colouring posters which came in a tube - we had some amazing ones and they were big enough to fit about 8 kids around at once, on a table in the garden!

Mum has to buy us one every year, the year she didn't hell broke lose, she hasn't not bought us one since.
