Giveaway Alert: Adult Coloring Book

9.08.2015

Adult Coloring Book GiveawayI don’t know about you, but I was not too excited to return to work after the nice long weekend. Why is it that when you get that extra day off work, it is even harder to return to work than it is on a typical two day weekend? I couldn’t fall asleep last night, so of course I woke up feeling groggy and sick this morning. Not the best start to another work week if you ask me.

But because I don’t want your week to start off on the bad note that mine did, I’m hosting my very first giveaway!! I had so much fun with my adult coloring book pages that I figured I’d give one away to one of my readers. This book is the best I’ve found so far, because all the pages are fun quotes you can hang up at work, frame for the house, or even give to your friends to cheer them up.

Adult Coloring Book GiveawaySince you can’t get your adult coloring on without some sort of utensil, I bought the 72 pack of colored pencils to go with it. With that many options, your pages will definitely stand out. Am I the only person who gets seriously excited for a new coloring book and a SEVENTY-TWO pack of colored pencils?! Hello options!

Adult Coloring Book Giveaway Prize Details

Here are the RULES for entering:

1) Leave a comment below telling me why you can’t wait to get your coloring on.

2) For additional entries, visit Rae of Sparkles on Instagram for more details!

The winner will be chosen at random. The contest closes on September 11th, 2015 at 11:59am. Winner will be announced on Facebook, and will be contacted based on their email address provided for comment. Good luck! 

Adult Coloring Book GiveawayAnd just in case you don’t win your own copy, you can print the Today is Going to Be Awesome page for free on In The Playroom.

    Because I love to color, as a child and still as an adult. I can’t hold colors/pens as well but it’s also great therapy for me (had a mild stroke). But also it is a great anxiety release as well as that Simple Living way of remembering our youth!! ?

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      9.09.2015 at 12:54 pm

      Ohhhh it would be great therapy for you! I have also read a lot that it is very therapeutic for people in general, that it calms the mind the same way that yoga does!

    I am sick of coloring from kids coloring books (Frozen, Mickey, Disney Princess), so this would be a nice change. Plus, in all honestly, I just like to win things.

      Hahaha great comment! I can totally understand your pain.

    Sounds like a fun giveaway, Shauna!

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      9.09.2015 at 12:55 pm

      Thanks Rob!!! Maybe you should get your color on!

    Would absolutely love this colouring book! The “Today is going to be awesome” page was one of the first pages I found on Pinterest that started the crazy colouring faze I’m in! I am in university for nursing so colouring is the perfect way to shut off my brain for a little me time. Also, it’s really cheap therapy 😉

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      9.09.2015 at 12:55 pm

      Oh my gosh it was mine too! I think it’s the neatest one online for free. It’s from this book too, which is exactly why I loved this book so much!

    I’d love to win! I am a big fan of the adult coloring book craze, although I’ve started to say coloring book for grown ups cause when I said “adult coloring book” to my coworkers they asked me what these pictures were of that made them “adult”.

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      9.09.2015 at 12:56 pm

      Oh my gosh that is HILARIOUS!!! I didn’t even think about that. I would be so embarrassed if people thought I was coloring nude people! Hahaha

      • Jamie says

        9.09.2015 at 5:22 pm

        Haha I know! They really thought that an adult coloring book meant an “adult” coloring book for adults! I had to tell them it’s really pictures of flowers, castles, normal things like that haha

    This post caught my eye because I’m in an infertility community where a lot of the women have been raving about adult coloring books to take your mind off the craziness. Then here you are! Hope I win! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      9.09.2015 at 12:56 pm

      Wow!!! That would be such a great way to calm the mind. I’ve heard it is a lot like yoga for your mind! I definitely think it is therapeutic for me too!

  8. B says

    9.09.2015 at 12:38 am

    I really would like to win this coloring book because I love to “DIY!” I believe if your not crafting your not really living.
    I know a lot of guys that waste their time mindlessly chasing a ball around a golf course while all the while they could be bringing sunshine and joy to others with this book and accompanied colored pencils. Totes obvi I deserve this! Pick me!!! ;)))

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      9.09.2015 at 12:57 pm

      Alright Mr. You and Lucy can color together from my book. 🙂

      • Bobbie says

        9.09.2015 at 1:34 pm

        The problem with “B” winning is there will not be enough pink colors in the box for him

        • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

          9.09.2015 at 2:25 pm

          This is true. I may have to rethink this.

    So I just found out this adult coloring book is becoming a thing. I have the artistic ability of a cat in heat after getting shot up with cocaine so I’m not really sure how great I’d be at these coloring books lol

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      9.09.2015 at 12:59 pm

      Oh my gosh I die. This is such a great comment. I am really bad with drawing and painting, but anything I can do in between the lines, I can handle!

    I love to color! It’s one of my favorite ways of calming myself down from a panic attack.

    I can’t wait because I’m in college and it’s so stressful! Coloring would ease the pain a little..

I honestly never thought I’d be the mom saying yes I honestly never thought I’d be the mom saying yes
 to slime... but here we are.

The difference? This isn’t just a container of slime
 to squish around. The Slime Prank Lab by @CrunchLabs
turns it into an activity. We spent the afternoon mixing the slime, experimenting with different textures, and (of course) testing out the ridiculously funny booger and fart pranks. 🤣

My girls were completely entertained, and I loved watching them create, experiment, and laugh together. It feels like pure fun for the kids, but there’s actually some pretty cool science and engineering behind it all, plus Mark Rober walks you through even more with the QR code inside the kit.

Who in your family would be the first prank target?

A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making… This w A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making…

This weekend at church, my daughter got to light the candles for the first time. At the end of the service, when she went up on her own to extinguish them, proud tears dropped from my eyes. And as I looked around at others, I noticed I wasn’t the only one. 

If you had asked me in my early to mid twenties, I wouldn’t have imagined how much this community, this faith, and these little traditions would come to mean to our family. There was a season of my life, long before I became a mom, where I drifted away from actively going to church. Now, getting to watch my girls grow up surrounded by faith, love, and a church family who knows them and celebrates them feels like such a gift.
Hot take: We’ve convinced ourselves kids need bigg Hot take: We’ve convinced ourselves kids need bigger backyards, when what they really need is neighborhood kids.

I used to think about more square footage, more land, more privacy. Now? I’d rather my girls have friends they can run to than an acre they have to play on alone.

A bigger house isn’t always a better childhood. For us, built-in community has been worth more than an extra bedroom ever could be.

I know this won’t be everyone’s opinion, but I think for elementary-aged kids, having friends next door is more valuable than having a huge yard. Anyone else change their mind about what “dream home” actually means?

I’ll die on this hill: kids birthday parties SHOUL I’ll die on this hill: kids birthday parties SHOULD feel magical.

Before anyone comes at me, I’m not talking about spending thousands of dollars. I’m talking about picking a theme, hanging the decorations, baking the cake (or buying it and decorating at home), planning the games, and making your kid feel like the most important person in the world for one day.

That’s the stuff they’ll remember.

You don’t need a huge budget to make childhood feel special. Agree or disagree?
Even with the bathroom trips. 🤣 Listen. Social me Even with the bathroom trips. 🤣

Listen. Social media tends to make traveling with children look glamorous, and the truth is, it usually isn’t. Are some kids professional travelers? Of course. But reality is that there’s always pitfalls and unexpected turbulence that you just have to mentally prepare for before you travel. And in the end? I promise you, it’s worth all the hassle.

One of my favorite things we get to give our girls One of my favorite things we get to give our girls is perspective. To see new places. To meet different people. To experience cultures outside of their own.

Not so they grow up thinking one place is “better” than another — but so they grow up curious, grateful, and grounded. And the more of the world we see, the more thankful I become for home, for the freedoms we have, and for the life we get to build together.
