    LOL Debbie, I'm sure if I bought books to colour which had swear words in I'd be distressed too...:eek::D;)

    I saw one of the "swear words" coloring books advertised online today, and I was amazed at that. There are just bunches of them online, and I am still puzzled about how those are used ?
    It seems like a person could open the page they wanted to color in a paint program, and then color it online, and not need any actual paper or colored pencils or markers to color with.
    I have also seen the colored markers for sale online, and some of those sets are seriously expensive.
    I remember coloring as a kid; but it was not like I spent a lot of time doing that. I actually spent more time drawing or painting than coloring from a coloring book.
    I have looked at the intricate pictures that they have in these adult books, and I think that I might be more stressed after coloring them than de-stressed, @Debbie in Seattle .

    The 12 year old had 2 pages of these designs to color for Spanish Class. I helped him do one. Took all morning!

    My back hurts and my finger has a callous now.....NO THANKS! Never want to see another one again.

    Also don't know what it has to do with Spanish Class....waste of time!!

    I do a color book on the kindle. It is called zen coloring or something, and everything is done electronically. I think I would rather have an actual coloring book but I like the Zen coloring too. It is fun to make the desings come to life. I really love paint by number so I am certain I woould like the adult coloring books too. It would be a lot of fun I think. It is just one of the things that would be enjoyable as far as I am concerned. It is just one of the things that I would enjoy.

    I almost hate to admit it, but I am addicted to the adult coloring books. My youngest daughter got me one for Christmas last year. I set it aside thinking that I would never enjoy doing that. But one dreary, rainy, cold day I picked it up. It was love at first dash of color. Now I have coloring books of all kinds. Does anyone else share my addiction.?

    I think if someone would have gifted me with one of those adult coloring books and colors I would enjoy coloring in them too Joyce. :)

    When I first starting seeing these on TV commercials I thought about how much I used to like to color when I was young and how I still enjoy coloring with my grandchildren in their coloring books. Although I won't go out and spend the money on this...I definitely would color in them if I received this as a gift. And if this has become a hobby for you that you really enjoy then how wonderful for you! :)

    Do you enjoy coloring all kinds of pictures or just like scenery, etc?

    I have been given a couple of adult colouring books with colouring pens and pencils as a gift. I've put them aside for when I retire and have more time and patience on my hands... It's not something I could find myself being addicted too..but it's lovely to find a hobby you enjoy @Joyce Mcgregor ..may you continue to enjoy it :)

    I particularly like the geometric shapes. Flowers, butterflies, ect are high on my list but I will color almost anything.

    You just might be surprised! I did not think it was something I would enjoy at all.

    I know someone that does the smaller ones and then uses them along with construction paper for a hand made greeting card. Nice idea.
