Creative Haven Christmas Cats Coloring Book by Marjorie Sarnat

A few years ago I jumped on the adult coloring bandwagon after receiving my first coloring book. Within days I was hooked! Coloring is a great way to relax after a long day and it gives adults a creative outlet. Your finished works of art can be framed & hung on a wall, laminated and turned into placemats, trimmed & laminated into bookmarks, used as embellishments in your scrapbooking layouts, as embellishments on handcrafted greeting cards & they’re fabulous when laminated & turned into refrigerator magnets.

One of my favorite line of coloring books are from Creative Haven. I would guess that I’ve owned at least 2 dozen of their books over the past few years. Here’s why: The images/designs in their books are unique, detailed and beautiful once completed. The pages are perforated along one side so you can easily pull them out. Images are printed on high-quality paper so feel free to use colored pencils, markers, gel ink pens, etc. to color in the designs. Image is only printed on one side of the page, so don’t worry about bleeding!

Creative Haven Christmas Cats Coloring Book is my new favorite in my collection. As you know, I’m a cat lover and have rescued two kittens over the past year. I love cats! The designs in this book are beautiful and it’s fun to have them in a Christmas theme. Fun!

Thinking about giving it as a Christmas gift? Just pick up a package of gel ink pens or a pack of colored pencils and drop it into a holiday gift bag. You can add a bag of microwave popcorn or some candy to the mix. They make great holiday gifts!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2019

Merry ChristmasWe wanted to take a few minutes today to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Today is a day that we all need to remember the REAL REASON for the season. We started off our day by attending Sunrise Mass and then a small family breakfast. We will be hosting a family dinner later today with all of the trimmings. Following our family meal Sam will read a book to the grandchildren and then we’ll exchange gifts.

This is our first Christmas with our beloved boy Romeo and as you can imagine he’s being spoiled rotten with new cat toys and treats! Hopefully next year he’ll learn to leave the holiday decorations alone! LOL

We hope everyone enjoys their holiday with loved ones and friends.
