Well LindaGHill has stated a new Prompt, the ‘escapist colouring club.’
We can display our progress on a colouring project, hopefully a different page every month.
This is my colouring book.
I can’t show you a before and after this month as I had already started colouring before I heard about the challenge! ..I am a tad slow due to lack of time. That does not bode well but I am hoping that committing to the club will spur me on!
So here is what I have done so far.
So here we go, good luck to everyone who joins in and thanks to Linda for the idea.
Rules and Pingback Here

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Love these colouring books!
Yes they are lovely Sis 💜💜💜
It’s beautiful, Willow! Love your colour choices. It has a bit of a Mexican flare to it. 😀 Thanks so much for joining in! ❤
My pleasure Linda , I need to keep my mind busy!! 🌹🌹
That is coming along beautifully, Willow. Adult colouring books are a good idea. I am a doodler when on the phone so I am thinking that this would be a really nice idea for me – make the doodling constructive.
Yes the books are lovely, why don’t you join in the Prompt you could even use your doodles 🌹🌹
Your coloring page is beautiful! I love the colors you’ve used. For some reason it looks a bit Egyptian to me, even though the book says Tropical. Love it! This is a fun challenge, isn’t it! Looking forward to seeing more of your artwork. 🙂
I wish it was art work I have never been arty but I am enjoying this… I think it looks Egyptian too because of the bats faces 😁💜🌹
I have a lot of the coloring books, but now I want to find one of these like yours. I’m sure there are lots of great pictures to color in there. 🙂
There are, my book is by Millie Marotta, from http://www.pavilionbooks.com UK price £9.99
Thanks! 🙂
Stunning colour choices, Willow. I love how it is coming along. 🙂
Thanks Judy it is much more complicated and time consuming than I thought 😀🌹
I don’t doubt it at all. I have an Anatomy and Physiology one! 🙂 xx
Eeek 💜💜🌹🌹🌹🌹
