I have a double giveaway today! Leave a comment in today’s post by October 13, 2016 and you will be in the running for a copy of  Country Life Coloring Book and a box of Color-Your-Own Greeting Cards.

Open to U. S. residents only please.

This coloring book has a really cool feature- a piece of heavy cardboard on the back cover-like a hardcover book. This makes it so easy to color when you aren’t at a table. The art is super-fun. My favorite page is a collection yarn. There are also pages that feature animals, quotes and food.

This is a great on the go pack of cards and envelopes. The art on the cards is not too small so easily colored under most conditions. What is really cool are the envelopes that have a rectangle of all sorts of shapes and patterns to frame the “to” address beautifully

More about the coloring book and box  of coloring cards:

The delightful rural images and timeless country sayings in Country Life Coloring Book provide a distinctive take on the current coloring craze. These 45 ready-to-color pages include a mixture of intricately hand-lettered phrases and charming scenes of farm life and outdoor beauty — including chickens, honey bees on flowers, and barns.

Color-Your-Own Greeting Cards offers a practical twist on the ever-popular coloring book. These 30 ready-to-color cards have images and hand-lettered messages for celebrations big and small throughout the year — including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, welcoming a new baby, and offering congratulations and thanks — as well as more general all-purpose pictures. The heavy-duty back cover offers a sturdy coloring surface for the pre-scored pull-out cards. Accompanying ready-to-color envelopes mean the completed 5×7 cards will be ready for mailing.

Coloring in sheets are a great way to calm the busy mind, as you focus on the coloring techniques your brain is actually able to calm itself and focus on less. Coloring is used to help relax and calm anxiety and stress. Coloring keeps out mental health in check and allows us to develop of creative brain. We highly recommend Copic markers or Faber castell coloring pencils .
