I wouldn't know the first thing about Photo Shop. Did you use the Waterlougue app on your iphone? I don't have smart phone but am always looking for a similar app that can be found online.

They are called adult coloring books because they are so much more intricate. They are a great winter time activity for the evening in between book reading. The only problem is, that they don't work very well with a 6 yr old still in the house. Because he wants in on the activity. He only sees that it is a coloring book. He doesn't see that it is momma's stress relief. And I just can't tell him no on this. They are super fun. And the gardening ones are great for gardeners during the winter months when we can't do anything!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175701498214262127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-47956502006211062542016-01-27T15:30:51.597-07:002016-01-27T15:30:51.597-07:00It's funny how so many of us are into coloring...It's funny how so many of us are into coloring these days! I bought myself one of those with the tiny little spaces, and I'm really enjoying it. I have no idea what I'll do with all of the pictures eventually, but I guess it's just the process to enjoy.

I have some coloring pages, but have been so busy as not to get to them. I loved coloring as a child. As to your question, I use iPhoto and free online Picmonkey and Fotor. I am happy the Broncos beat the 'New England' Patriots....being from NY I feel compelled to say they are not one of our NY teams....I really loathe the Patriots...can you tell. :)<br /><br />Donna@GardensEyeView<br />and LivingFromHappinessDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-79379463192856848312016-01-26T02:38:23.996-07:002016-01-26T02:38:23.996-07:00Oh, Ann, I love this post.

Especially we non-native speakers may easily, and without willing, say something funny or even offensive when not attentive or aware of certain (sub)senses. (Stressing.)<br />-Years ago, I enjoyed colouring some images in children's colouring books, but I too would find tedious these ones made for grown-ups, with those tiny little spaces. To relax, I knit.<br />-I love the images you coloured, the effects you have used, and especially the columbines. Waterlogue is a great app. I too enjoy using Picasa, only it's not great on collages.<br />I hope your water issue will be solved soon.

I love some of the effects you used. I hope the water leak is found soon. I loved coloring books when I was a kid so I expect I would enjoy the grown up ones.

They are really neat and so many to choose from. I got one also for my shut in sister. Pencils, or coloured markers, the Pentec Watercolour kind, all make it fun.

I have not seen them yet in the store, but I have not tried too hard to find them yet. I like the Columbines, they are pretty. I have used both Picasa and Picmonkey for my mosaic making and editing. I hope you water problem is fixed soon, we have well water here and I am always afraid something will happen. It is not nice to go without water. I do feel for the people of Flint. Clean ground water is very important. Congrats to the Denver Broncos, I was cheering for Denver to win.

First time I learned about coloring books for grown ups was last summer. We had friends for dinner and one of them was fond of these coloring books. I was surprised, I don't see myself coloring, but love your columbines.Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-67173995309665113632016-01-24T02:43:35.850-07:002016-01-24T02:43:35.850-07:00Your editing is too technical for me!

I like the phrase "grown-up" coloring book much better too. I've considered trying one - but I doubt I would stick with it long enough to be worth the money. I could always print off the coloring pages from the internet. Love your header too.

I use all the same things as you do - and many more - except I have nothing "I" - so I don't have the watercolor feature - no ipad - no iphone - drat. But I manage to have a lot of fun editing and collaging and framing. Your winter walk looked chilly - poor froggie and fairy. Hope you get the water problem fixed soon - what a pain - but at least your water is clean that you do get.
