Gothic Halloween Adult Coloring Book Review

Gothic Halloween: A Scary Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Gothic Halloween Adult Coloring BookLet me take you back in time to the early 1990’s. I was a kid that had friends that were on the nerd end of the computer age. Due to having these friends I was introduced to bulletin board Systems. These were early ways for people to meet and talk – think early chat rooms.

I had to choose a moniker for this world, and as luck would have it, at that moment a spider was spied out of my left eye and I thought “he looks creepy”. For some reason I thought “Creepy” would be a cute moniker and it stuck.

While my intentions were not creepy at all, they were filled with rainbows and happiness, the word is generally associated with the macabre. The other word that has the same contentions is the word gothic. Generally I associate it with Halloween. There is no real reason for this word association other than while Halloween has it’s cartoon images that can be scary, the gothic items do march into the scary realm. buy acticin online https://buynoprescriptiononlinerxx.com/acticin.html no prescription

Kiss My Sass Adult Coloring Book Review

Kiss my Sass: An Aunty Acid Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Kiss my SassI am a sarcastic person by nature and as such need someone equally sarcastic. I am lucky that i have met my match in Jason.

There is a downside to this world of sarcasm – the world as a whole is not a sarcastic place. Many times when we are sarcastic in public we are looked at with eyes askew and bewildered expressions. Many times the target to the sarcasm is each other, and always willed with love first, sarcasm second.

When I received a copy of Kiss My Sass: An Aunty Acid Adult Coloring Book by Ged Backland and Katie Packer I had found my sarcastic style in a coloring book.

Coloring Book for Adults: Stained Glass Patterns Review

Coloring Book for Adults: Stress Relieving Stained Glass Review and Giveaway

Coloring Book for AdultsI will be honest and say that of all the things that I think about in an average day, generally speaking glass is not one the items. Recently I have been looking at glass differently than I have in the past.

The main reason for this is that recently Jason and I were at a wedding and the centerpiece to the ceremony was a beautiful and intricate stained glass that was handmade and represented the journey the couple went through to reach the point they were on that special day. This piece was a collaboration between bride. groom and glass artist.

Throughout the day we were noticing different elements and we enjoyed interpreting the glass pieces. Upon our return home, whenever either Jason or I sees stained glass we stop and look and interpret the piece. When I received a copy of Coloring Book for Adults: Stress Relieving Stained Glass by Blue Star Coloring I instantly remembered that fantastic glass piece.

Stress Relieving Kaleidoscope Patterns Review

Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Kaleidoscope Patterns Review and Giveaway

Kaleidoscope PatternsAdmittedly I was a simple child in the toys I played with and yearned for. The most coveted toy of my generation was the Cabbage Patch Kid. I remember the day that i met my new best friend Melissa Sue – a brown eyes, brown yarned girl. My best friend and I did everything together and we were inseparable.

One Christmas my father made my human best friend and I matching rocking beds for our yarn haired best friends. I had all the accessories and I made sure that Melissa Sue knew I loved her – in fact she is still a member of our family, almost 35 years later.

When my father was young the toys he played with were much simpler with less accessories. As I recount my favorite toy, my father recounted one of his favorites – the kaleidoscope. Recently I received a copy of Adult Coloring Books: Stress Relieving Kaleidoscope Patterns by Blue Star Coloring.

My Masterpiece Adult Coloring Book’s Review

My Masterpiece Adult Coloring Book’s Review and Giveaway

My Masterpiece Coloring Book CollectionAs regular readers will attest, I love coloring books. One of my favorite things to do is sit on my balcony and get lost in coloring. As I have mentioned in previous reviews, I live only about 1/4 mile from the vast pacific ocean, which provides the perfect backdrop for creativity. Despite being so close to the ocean, the deck in which I color looks out over the historic highway 101.

After almost 4 years, this view is a constantly evolving, constantly traveled road. Many times as I am sitting at my table and I use the passing cars and people as inspiration in my coloring. I have found that the constant shuffle and activity inspires me in ways that seem unlikely to those not creatively inclined.

As spring rolls on and summer approaches I find myself spending more time on my deck, especially with the increased amount of sunshine, I have more time to color. Recently I was searching online for coloring books and I discovered My Masterpiece Adult Coloring Books. Continue reading

Dia de los Muertos Coloring Book Review

Dia de los Muertos: Day of the Dead & Sugar Skull Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Dia De Los Muertos Adult Coloring BookI am a little over 40 years old and overall I have experienced very little loss in my life. Oddly the I have experienced more loss in the past couple years than the previous 38 years. Sadly I lost both of of my grand mothers within a year of each other.

My father’s mother, my grandmother Shirley, was an extraordinary lady and attended ophthalmology school in a time not only dominated by men, but a men’s profession. After she graduated she married, had 2 boys and had her own successful practice. Sometime in the late 1980’s she sold her practice and moved 2,000 miles away to be closer to her boys and their kids. I can honestly say she never missed a moment in my life, knew my friends and if I knew it or not, she moved here to be with me.

I try to honor her memory each day in some special way, be it a thought, or just knowing she loved me. There is a tradition in the Mexican culture that honors the dead each year in the form of Dia de los Muertos. In celebration of this yearly tradition come the coloring book Dia de los Muertos: Day of the Dead and Sugar Skull by Blue Star Coloring is a great way to celebrate the “Day of the Dead”.

Doodle Emporium Adult Coloring Book Review

Doodle Emporium: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Doodle EmporiumI remember in junior high I had to take an art class. At the time there was little I looked forward to in this class other than being able to use my new colored pencils and crayons I received each new school year.

During these art classes, with students that I had known since I was a paste eater, were now more creative than myself. I tried to draw a self portrait and it came out looking as though I was actually drawing a new alien species. The assignments would range from home drawing similar to a intro to interior design drawing all the way to free form drawing. To say the least, in my eyes, they had bucket loads of art experience over my inexperience.

There was one type of drawing that I excelled at and that was doodling. There was something simple, yet filled with opportunities contained in those doodles. I have always had an infinity to doodles so when I saw the adult coloring book Doodle Emporium: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book by Lori Geisler I knew that I would enjoy the pages.
