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?

I have a very old one from when I was a child.
I use some the designs as templates when painting or other crafts.

[Glittertwins]

I'm tempted. I'd need to keep it and any pens away from the DCs!

[Piemistress]

I saw a fab big cardboard tent play house you could colour in think it was from Lidl?

Colouring pencils or pens?

[TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersWife]

Altair design pad.

[Glossynotflossy]

binkybix yes i owned fluff it pens anx spent many an hour with a hair dryer getting them to fluff up.

[Binkybix]

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the hair dryer stage!

[pettyprudence]

ive got fluffit pens in my house right now!

father christmas (dm) still brings me colouring books. sometimes its hello kitty but this year it was colouring for grown ups

[Glossynotflossy]

Wow so they still exist!iff to google.

[Binkybix]

Awesome! I couldn't find any on doing a quick google but will try to locate some in the shops next weekend. And a mosaic sticker book.

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

I'd forgotten how much I love colouring. Have brought two adult colouring books and some berol pens

[Piemistress]

Mosaic sticker books! I used to love them! I think jigsaws and colouring in books are my new stress busters!

[LittleMissFantabulous]

Berol pens are the business! I have a stash of them. The older spawns are gutted that I will not share. They regularly try to con me into loaning them a black one, as theirs are inevitably broken. I laugh and refuse. Mine! Mine I tell you mine!

I have a colouring book and it is this www.amazon.co.uk/Fabulous-Doodles-Nellie-Ryan/dp/1906082316/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358072474&sr=8-1&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21, I was really getting tempted by all dses doodle books so got my own

[fuzzpig]

Does anyone else get upset/frustrated if the pictures don't have closed lines?

Or is that just me

[fuzzpig]

I think I may have had a mosaic sticker book but I'm not sure. I may have to get one. You know, just to check.

I also had some sand art thing where you peeled off the sticker and sprinkled sand over it, one bit at a time.

I love the geometric patterns and Crayola felt tip pens. Hate when dd tries to 'help' me and goes out the lines, I'm screaming inside.

My secret santa at work bought me colouring books and pens. My desk is decorated with beautiful geometric patterns.

DDs have had some lovely stuff from SIL in Oz by a company called Smiggle, I did hope she'd send me some for Xmas as I enthused over their stuff so much during the summer but sadly not.
Just have to get myself some of the recommendations on here, I love a fine nibbed gel pen since I discovered them for intricate work, till then I was strictly a pencil girl.
When DD1 was little we had colouring time together but our books and pencils were separate and woe betide if she helped with mine

[fuzzpig]

What can I say, I'm a nostalgia pig :o

[TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersWife]

I remember overwriters too! Weren't they double ended pens or something?

[starsandunicorns]

On reading this thread i going to order two adult colouringbooks i would like felt tips but wonder which ones to get the expenise gel pens on offer at amozaon look good anyone got any ideas. My dp think i am having a funny turn but thought why not just imagine dp playing his facebook game and me colouring in in the eveing

[TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersWife]

I can imagine sales of colouring books are now shooting up through the roof and hundreds of mumsnetters are now eagerly awaiting their delivieries :o
