bonny, that mandala is beautiful.
And I continue to be amazed and pleased at the good we've gotten at the group home from coloring mandalas together. We had a wonderful time together a couple evenings ago - three of the individuals who live there were sitting around the dining table, along with me, coloring, having a lovely peaceful time, sharing markers, crayons, colored pencils, no arguing, no fussing, no bother. I can't think of more than one other time in the five years I have worked with them when those three people sat down to do something together (other than eating meals). A couple of them will do stuff together, but put all three of them together, and that is a recipe for tension, at best. It was one of those "now this is why I do this work" moments.
On a side note, it's much more "age appropriate" than coloring cheap dollar store coloring books - of course that is not of prime importance to me or to the people who live there, but it sure looks good on paper.
Happy birthday, Drew! I hope it's filled with pleasurable things.

That is a joy to hear.
My coloring books just arrived!
I'm looking forward to seeing if the paper of the books is a higher quality, and therefore smoother, than the printer paper I have been using.
The thing is though, some of the designs are so gorgeous, I'm compelled to copy them out of the book so I can do more than one of a design.
The vampire book is going to be goofy fun and challenging...there is a LOT of hair...by the strand, so intricate coloring. Thank goodness I have a good sharpener.
The paisley book is great and the mandala book as PERFECT.
The geometric design book is much more bland than I expected. But will probably be my choice for jury duty next month. More mind numbing than challenging.
Still, BOOKS!
Happy Birthday, Drew!! Here's excellent smokey liquor-y wishes to you, and hopes that this year is fabulous!
Happy birthday, Drew! The 40s are good.
Sending good vibes for Sass coming home soon. I can't believe people would crank-call about a missing pet. Yes, I can. People suck.
I'm gonna need to pick up some of these coloring books. You all are making me want to break out the crayons again.
I'm still sick. Coughing like crazy. I'm a little better than yesterday, though, so hopefully tomorrow I'll notice a real improvement.
Happy B-day, Drew!
Zen, I hope you keep getting better.
Still sending Sass-come-home~ma.
Happy Birthday, NoiseDesign!!!
Happy Drew day! Celebrate with some noise and some designs if you wish!
