Now I'm taking it one step farther, I'm making a coloring book pages Sketch Book. Like a sketch book but made from my favorite pages plus some embellishment from me. I had the sketch book in my stash of "stuff I might use some day" so I didn't have to buy one but you can find one in craft stores, book stores or re-purpose a notebook or whatever. Below you can see what I did to the cover of my book and a couple of the pages. I used the poem "When I am Old" as a facing page for this particular page. I have loved the poem by Jenny Joseph ever since my Mother gave me a copy for my 40th birthday. I've worn purple ever since and I've never cared too much about what other people think of me. Pretty soon I'll be:

| Inside my book |
"spending my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals,
and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells"
Won't that be fun!

My favorite medium is water color pencils. I have several different ones that I have had for years. I think my favorites are the Intense Colors by Derwent.
The next thing I'm going to do is have a Coloring Party. I've already invited my friends, downloaded the pages I am going to offer them to choose from to color. I'm going to furnish each one a box of colored pencils, a page or two to color and some snacks. I'll post pictures and tell you how that turned out next week. Now here are the Free Page Downloads I promised. I saved all my pages as PDF's so I can keep them and print more but you can print directly from the links if you wish.
