I have always considered myself a “crafty” person. I absolutely LOVE all forms of art. From drawing, to decorating, to making play dough sculptures with my two year old, I enjoy it all! Anything that allows me to get my creative juices flowing and get my hands dirty… that’s my idea of fun.
Recently I started hearing from several of my adult friends that they have picked up a new hobby… coloring! I kind of laughed at first because I thought, “This is something I do with my two year old in a Thomas the Train coloring book.” All I could picture were fat Crayola markers and big boring coloring pages filled with little kid pictures. The more I started seeing what my mommy-friends were coloring though, the more I was intrigued!!
Fast forward several months and here I am sitting with my first coloring book on my lap, and let me just say… I REALLY enjoy it!! The intricate designs in my personalized Keep Calm and Color On book from Put Me in the Story are beautiful and intricate. It has taken me a long time to color the little bit of design that you see pictured here, but the time spent coloring is therapeutic and I don’t mind the time it takes to fill it out!
My husband and I like to unwind and watch TV at the end of the night, but I really hate sitting with idle hands. Most of the time I find myself scouring social media on my phone (not very productive, I know!!), so instead I have been grabbing my Keep Calm and Color On coloring book and doodling while while we watch TV. I love it! I have found that coloring is a “mindless” activity. I’m able to concentrate on the conversations around me, but at the same time color beautiful artwork. I’ve heard it said that coloring is therapeutic… I can kind of unstained this now!
The quality of the Keep Calm and Color On book is great! I have found that there is almost no bleed between pages so you can’t see what you colored on the previous page. It’s also fun seeing personalized messages just for YOU! 🙂
So if you know someone who likes to color or are interested in trying it for yourself, pick up a personalized copy of Keep Calm and Color On from Put Me in the Story for under the Christmas tree this year!

December 3, 2015 at 8:02 pmThank you for the coupon code. Years ago I got into coloring when I found incredible books for adults at our hobby store. I stopped when we moved but I’d really love to get back into it. It’s definitely very relaxing.
