  3. Love, love, love to color – and I won’t tell you my age since I’m over 50. Whoops! But a great stress reducer – keeping my fingers crossed!

  8. Please throw my name into the hat! I adore these – my daughter has an app that she uses on her phone to color these but I would love to sit down with her and do some old fashion coloring! Plus they’re great art pieces to use after.
    Thanks for the chance:)
