My husband and I love to camp on the weekends and one particular weekend as we walked through the campground, I noticed that our neighbor was working on putting in patio blocks.  I called over to Todd and said ” When you’re done with your patio, can you teach my husband?”  He replied, “How about right now, I could use a hand.” Mark and I walked over and the patio lesson began.

As we watched and listened to Todd, his wife Rhonda came over and said “Mary have you seen my fairy garden?” “Of course not,” I said and walked over to her and followed her to her gazebo. Inside she showed me her fairy garden. and she proceeded to tell me that whenever she has to go to Menard’s for a new tool, she gets to buy something for her fairy garden.  It was beautiful and so I’ll let you in on a little secret.  Every time my husband makes me go shopping for tools, I seem to sneak in something for my garden.  I’ve got years to go before my fairy garden looks anything like Rhonda’s.
She keeps her fairy garden in her gazebo.  In her gazebo, she has a couch and a coffee table.  On her coffee table was a coloring book. She proceeded to show me her coloring book.  It was such a weird experience.  She was so excited to show me her book, and the pages she colored as if she were a little girl.
She went on to say that adult coloring is a big new thing.  I didn’t know that they made coloring books just for adults.  Did I think huh? I’ve got to check this out.  So the next time I was at Walmart I looked for adult coloring books and to my amazement what a selection.  I bought one.  I bought some markers and needless to say, I’ve become addicted and have spent a small fortune on coloring books.
The thing about coloring books, I do not like to color everything.  There are things I really like to color and things I really do not like to color.  I have a thing for flowers and mandellas.
After spending a small fortune on coloring books, I’ve decided to learn to make my own pages
