As Sharon Rhoads was saying to Wendy Apgar:
SR> I've done some coloring lately, too. I have a preschoolers Winnie the
SR> Pooh coloring book and have been coloring in it. Sometimes I
SR> share this with my 5 year old neice. It helps put distance
SR> between me and things I can't do anything about. I -can-
SR> color... I even stay inside the lines, usually. :)
Not that it's not okay to color outside the lines! :-)
I gave my mom a winnie-the-pooh coloring book and
sticker book when she was ill since she likes winnie-the-
pooh so much.
Usually I color my cards that I've stamped. It helps occupy
my mind as well.
SR> I finally got my knitting machine and books out into the living room
SR> where they belong. I have been trying to come up with something
SR> to sell at local shops, but most things are beyond my
SR> current concentration levels. Blankets are what comes to
SR> mind most and I think I will start there and see where it
SR> goes.
That is what I find so neat about me doing rubber stamping.
It is something that I can do a little at a time and I can
usually color since it helps my stress level. I have been
working on setting things aside for the bazaar in the fall
that my mom is participating in. She hasn't been able to
do much for it so she is depending on all my little crafts.
SR> Beautiful things we are responsible for do make us happy...
SR> and not just us, but other people who see it, too. Not
SR> only did you change the look of your car, you changed the
SR> look on their faces. :)
It's a nice conversation starter as well. I've talked to
a lot of people that I wouldn't have spoken to otherwise.
Even the neighborhood children and several of my neighbors.
Wendy
