Secret Garden, Enchanted Forest and other self help books.

I have recently gone through a very stressful and difficult time. To combat this my mum has been reading up on different ways to manage stress. One of the ways she discovered is through adult colouring books, and no I don't mean colouring books with naked ladies in them. I mean beautiful, intricate and difficult colouring books aiming to help your mindfulness.

These are the books we purchased

Designed by Scottish Artist Joanna Basford, they each come with different quests and hidden items to find. 

They are absolutly beautiful. 

I have been torn between using pens or pencils as I don't want to damage the paper :) so far I have stuck with my Staedtler pencils. 

I would say I totally have been taken in by the notion of colouring for better mindfulness and have been colouring nearly every night. I could easily spend my days/nights colouring in! I have recently expanded my colouring in books adding Dream Cities by Rosie Goodwin and Alice Chadwick to my collection

I am a huge fan of beautiful architecture and this book allows me to colour in well known cities my way. I would recommend this book for any colouring fan.  Here is Amsterdam waiting for me to colour it in. Cannot wait to get stuck into this one.
