Here's my interpretation of the "Taste and See" page that Peggy and I colored from the Karla Dornacher book
Thanks for letting me share!

Cj we weren't that far off from each other. I just chose not to color everything.




I did another Tea Page in a different book too: Magic Path by Colorama




That was fun...let me know if you want to do another Color Challenge Sometime.

Love and Hugs,
Peggy

Received this book today, ordered on Amazon. I love the Psalms and there are some nice pages in here. There is a lot of quite small artwork, which could become a bit tedious. So, we'll see how this goes!

Beautiful pages gals! Isn't it fabulous that there are so many of us that enjoy coloring? What fun all of us have and how relaxed are we?
Enjoy your new coloring book CJ.

It is weird how the light shines at just the right angel sometimes and distorts the coloring. Really Noticeable on the Cat Picture..the face and hands are the same gray as the tail and legs. Also the Spring basket...half the handle is reflecting light so the handle looks lighter on the left side than the right. Crazy!!!

CJ...Your New Book looks like a great one!!

Debbie...it really is so relaxing!!! But sometimes I forget to do my household chores because
I am having such a relaxing time. LOL

Hugs,
Peggy

Great job Ceejay. The tv news just did a feature on adult coloring books and coloring clubs. Amazon said it's the biggest seller, books and pencils.

Just finished this page from the "Color the Psalms" book. All sections have very lightly colored backgrounds, kinda hard to see in the pic perhaps!

I love the "Color the Psalms" book, however some of the artwork is pretty small! So, I'll mix it up with the other books!
And, I LOVE the 23rd Psalm!

Quick story:
I was at Target today and decided to look for coloring supplies. Not only were the colored pencils almost completely wiped out, but there wasn't a single person under the age of 30 in the aisle. We all kind of looked at each other and chuckled! Lol!

Our local bookstore, Barnes and Noble, has tons of coloring books and lots of pencils and markers. You can see it is making a great impact here too.
