Play is what God did when He worked I think. I can just imagine how He ordered the world and made wierd but cute animals and decided what kind of flowers to have and so on. He'd have delighted in your play. And well done on your new kind of colouring books. May God enrich all who use them and bless you as you create more of them.<br /><br />Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-37050928492263199622015-08-10T08:23:31.728+10:002015-08-10T08:23:31.728+10:00Kayleen I am sharpening my Derwents in anticipatio...Kayleen I am sharpening my Derwents in anticipation of purchasing your book!

Then a few years ago, I bought her a book where you could complete some of the drawings as well as colour in. So it's great to see such books are becoming popular again--and especially great to see your lovely ones, Kayleen. Well done to you!

Hopefully it will keep it in good stead as more come into the market. <br /><br />I think you need to buy yourself something finer than crayons for this Nola.

You'll be husband of the year! :-)<br /><br />I hear the trend will last for some time as people are testifying to its usefulness.

When I was at QBD the other day (big QLD bookstore), they had a whole display stand full of adult colouring books in a prime location. They're really popular at the moment, so the timing is brilliant. I hope it does really well.
