A Whipped Fashion ForwardAs the summer nights wind down it makes way for cooler nights, and hours of homework. What is there for the adults who are helping those kids with their homework – adult coloring!

Since even adults need fun too, I am excited to offer a copy of Fashion Forward: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book by Minjee Kang and Whipped: A Delectable Adult Coloring Book by Rudy Fig.

Quest Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book Review

Quest: Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book – Blue Star Master Collection Review and Giveaway

QuestMany people do not know but when Jason was a teenager he was an avid Dungeons and Dragons player. Often times he would run his own campaigns and act as Dungeon Master.

Since we were best friends, I would go over on these nights and color while I listened to the tale that was unfolding next to me. I would imagine these worlds that Jason was describing and the colors came to life. In stark contrast I would be coloring cartoon characters and rainbows while listening to more of a medieval tale.

I would have loved to have a coloring book that reflected the story I was listening to. When I received a copy of Quest: Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book from the Blue Star Master Collection by Samantha Johnson, my first thoughts was all those nights I spent listening and this book was the imagery behind the tale.  Continue reading

Many Cats – Two Cat Coloring Books to Win!

Cat Coloring Books: Yoga Kitties and Stress Relieving Cats Adult Coloring Book’s Giveaway

Pair of Cat Coloring BooksIf I could I would have more than the two cats I currently have. The true reason that I do not have this hoard of cats is not because of my husband or even the current size of my home. The true reason that I do not have a hoard of cats is because I am afraid that with each additional cat the time I spend and the attention they get would begin to diminish. Jason and I have discussed a third cat, a friend for Maggee to play with but in the end, I think that despite my wish for more I must stay with the two I have.

Since I have the self imposed cat limit I must get my cat love out another way. The way I chose to do this is by collection cat themed items and coloring in cat themed cat coloring books. Since I love anything cat so I am excited to be able giveaway copies of 2 of my favorite coloring books – Yoga Kitties: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book and Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Cats.

Woodland Christmas: A Christmas Adult Coloring Book Review

Woodland Christmas: A Christmas Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Woodland Christmas Adult Coloring BookLet me start by telling you that I am not normally a gal who thinks about Christmas when the weather is peaking in the mid 90’s but I am making an exception.

When I was young I looked forward to the holidays for different reasons than today. The reasons when I was young were more materialistic than altruistic. I looked forward to unwrapping the presents and seeing if my “wish-list” was fulfilled – which most years it was and then some. The reason now are more set around memory making and making the most of the years we have with the younger generations.

As we embark on the holidays being able to take moments and remember the true reason for the season is an invaluable time. When I received a copy of Woodland Christmas: A Christmas Adult Coloring Book by Suzy Joyner I thought it was the perfect way to remember the reason for the season.  Continue reading

A daydream is typically defined as a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one’s attention from the present. When struck with writer’s block there is no better way to let my brain run free and let inspiration hit me. I love seeing where my brain takes me when I let it take my on an adventure.

Stress Relieving Dolphin Patterns: Adult Coloring Book Review

Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Dolphin Patterns Review and Giveaway

Adult Coloring Book SR DolphinsLiving so close to the ocean there are days that I literally hear the waves crash and smell the ocean air. As the ocean air wafts over the hill, it makes me wonder about the world on the other side of that hill.

As I sit and wonder of all the sea animals, I find the dolphins and whales most interesting. Dolphins are wide-ranging in size from 5 feet to 31 feet and can weigh from the pounds to the tons. While male dolphins are called “bulls”, and the females are called “calves” each are equally smart. These creatures are equal parts amazing and wonderful!

When I received a copy of Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Dolphin Patterns by Blue Star Coloring I thought of those playful, and smart sea creatures. Continue reading

Win a copy of Dragon World and Gothic Halloween

Mythically Mysterious Combo: Dragon World and Gothic Halloween Adult Coloring Book’s Giveaway

Dragon World and Gothic HalloweenI am fascinated by the concept of scaley old time creatures such as dragons. I sit and wonder if it is possible that such things ever flew in our airspace. When you look at dragons, there are characteristics of modern-day alligators, and yesteryear dinosaurs. Most dragons are depicted as these large imposing creatures, that look would look at us as mere food. I love imagining an alternate existence in which our world’s are one.

That being said, there are few nights of the year when the moon rises, and you believe that anything is possible. The magical night I am referring to is Halloween. Halloween is the one time of the year that no matter what reality is, imagination finds a way to become real.

In the spirit of the this endless route to imagination and making the make-believe real, I give you an opportunity to win a copy of Dragon World: Adult Coloring Book and Gothic Halloween: A Scary Adult Coloring Book.

Win a copy of Coloring the Cosmos and S/R Tropical Travel Patterns

Imagine Travel Combo: Coloring the Cosmos and Stress Relieving Tropical Travel Patterns Adult Coloring Book’s Giveaway

Cosmos and SR Travel PatternsI recently went to the local craft store and was astounded truly how much the adult coloring trend has taken off. As I passed through the isles, one thought was overriding – what makes this trend such a popular one?

After walking the isles, and thumbing through the vast selection it all of a sudden it occurred me that there are fewer ways one can take a vacation without leaving their home. For many people a vacation is not in the cards, therefore must find other ways of getting away – coloring is a great alternative.

When I get stressed and want to take a vacation, I have found that being able to color is a great escape. Since I can not travel having a travel themed book to color and imagine with is a nice alternative.  When I get Color the Cosmos: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book and Adult Coloring Book : Stress Relieving Tropical Travel Patterns I am able to imagine all those places that I dream of visiting.

Soul of the Woodland Adult Coloring Book Review

Soul of the Woodland: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Soul of the WoodlandWhen I married Jason I knew that at some point I would go camping. You see, Jason was an outdoors kid, and as an adult became adept at fishing in Mammoth, and camping in Yosemite. Each year Jason’s parents spend their anniversary in the mountains, merging glamping and camping into one 3 week adventure.

I, on the other hand, have never been camping, and really the thought somewhat scares me. While I love hearing bear stories, and fishing tales and the diversity of flowers and wildlife.

When I received a copy of Soul of the Woodland: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book by Suzy Joyner Jason was finally able to share his love of the woodland with me.

Jackpot Candles Summer 2016 Giveaway

Jackpot Candles Summer 2016 Giveaway!!!!

Jackpot Candle BurningAbout a decade ago, I developed a new hobby – candle making. I eagerly would search thrift stores for new and interesting places to pour the wax into and burn. I had a collection of different glasses and metal receptacles. I loved that I could spend a little time in the kitchen and the result was a candle that would burn far more hours than it took to create it.

The creation for candles did not last long overall, and in the grand scheme of things was fleeting. The one thing that remained was my love for candles. The difference is now my appreciation of candles. I can appreciate the artistry, time and effort that goes into creating these burning pillars of scent.

Jackpot Candles are different from the typical candles that you can purchase in stores. Each candle has a piece of jewelry embedded into the wax, as you burn the candle down, the small aluminum square reveals itself. The value of the included piece is anywhere from $15.00 to $5,000.00 and the value is determined by an online appraisal – enter your code and get a value!
