Colouring has become a popular form of stress release

Have been trying to think of something to buy a dear friend of mine and am going to order this for her! She will love it. 

Thanks Daina

The Riot Art club is a great idea and even better that you don't have to 'commit' to buying a colouring in book but you can download what you want.... When you want! :-) thanks for a sharing Janey.

that's great Deb, I am sure your friends will appreciate it, as I have. It doesn't matter who you are, what's going on in your life - taking time to just be in the moment gives an amazing sence of calm. :-)

I love the jigsaw idea Pam. It's the simple things in life isn't it. We just have to 'make the time' - note to self....make the time for me :-)

I love colouring and have been doing it on and off for a number of years. I have just bought a few new ones, but also belong to the Riot Art Club and down loaded some from them. I also love colouring in mandalas which are very calming. I am into doing puzzles on my iPad which also helps take you away. Great idea Daina. Ox

I've just come across this post Daina & I love the idea, I enjoy all things arty. I have a few friends who I think may benefit as well from colouring. Thanks for the tip.

They look lovely.  I started doing jigsaws through treatment.  When you don't want to sleep, but you don't feel like doing anything else.  They helped my through.  Paulas meditation sounds like mine - my brain just doesn't know when to shut up and jigsaws did it for me.

The poor thing! It must have been really hard on the whole family. I hope she is doing okay now. x

The mandala patterns are just amazing as well! When did we grow up and forget about these amazing tools to live in the moment. :-) 

It's definitely one of those items you don't go out and buy for yourself is it but when it is given as a gift - it is just perfect! I think I will have to get a few of my friends a copy as well. I have kept it out on my desk now so I see it when I go into our spare room. :-)
