Five years ago I was introduced to adult coloring as a way to pass the time while recovering from 3 major surgeries. When it was first introduced to me I thought it was silly to be sitting around coloring, but after a few days I realized the positive benefits to adult coloring. I found it to be a great stress reliever and a great way to express my creativity. I’ve been coloring ever since!

Title: Creative Haven Tranquility Coloring Book
By: Diane Pearl
Publisher: Dover Publications
ISBN: 9780486833910
Relax and unwind with 31 mesmerizing illustrations inspired by nature and specifically designed to promote mindfulness and inner peace. Swirling tendrils and other beguiling patterns invite color combinations of any kind — the creative possibilities are endless! Pages are perforated and printed on one side only for easy removal and display. Specially designed for experienced colorists, Tranquility and other Creative Haven® adult coloring books offer an escape to a world of inspiration and artistic fulfillment. Each title is also an effective and fun-filled way to relax and reduce stress.
One of the things I love about the Creative Haven line of adult coloring books is that all of the images are printed on high-quality paper. I can use markers, glitter ink pens, gel ink pens, colored pencils, crayons, etc. and they won’t bleed through to the other side of the paper. I prefer using gel ink pens and they just glide across the page.
There are 31 beautiful illustrations in this book and you’ll find one on each page, there are no double-sided pages, plus each page is perforated so that you can easily remove the page for framing and hanging. Each design will make a beautiful piece of artwork in your home…there are no “dud designs” in this book!
I would say that this book is for anyone who loves nature, zen, tranquility, peace, etc. Each illustration is intricate and I would say that the designs are for intermediate to experience colorists. You can really let your creativity flow with this one!

My 10 year old granddaughter and I get together twice a month for craft dates. Like her Nanny (me) she loves to craft and will dabble all kinds of different things. We’ve been holding these craft dates together for the past 7 years and we’re always looking for new projects to make.

Let me introduce you to Make in a Day: Crafts for Kids book by author Cintia Gonzalez-Pell and from Dover Publications. ISBN: 9780486813738. This soft-cover how-to book contains 15 fast and fun projects.
These colorful and easy projects for kids can be made in a single day! Suitable for ages 7 to 12, with the help of an adult, the crafts will appeal to boys and girls alike. Projects include a dreamcatcher, painted plant pot, leather treasure pouch, and felt pennant flag. Children can also learn how to paint their pillowcases, personalize their sneakers, recycle a sweater into a gadget cozy, and make other decorative and practical items.
Each book in Dover’s Make in a Day series presents 15 projects with illustrated step-by-step instructions. The beginner-friendly projects are ideal for anyone wishing to whip up something simple but special. Supplies are easy to obtain and readily available at major craft stores.
The Princess and I sat down to look through the book together and fell in-love with just about every featured project! Matter of fact, we plan on making 12 out of 15 of the projects over the summer while she’s off school. Each project includes a material’s list, easy-to-follow instructions and color photos to help guide you along the way.
One of the BEST things about these projects is that none of them require expensive materials and all materials are readily available. If you’re a crafter, you probably have most of the supplies already on hand. The Princess wants to make the Fuse Bead Bag Charms and Paint a Pillowcase projects first. Trust me, both are adorable!!!
As a crafting fan…I really hope to see more from Cintia Gonzalez-Pell in the near future. She’s talented, creative and I know these projects are going to be a big hit over the summer!
