*SIGH* Coloring, the all-time best stress buster:) Yes, COLORING!!
Anyone, at ANY age can color.
I remember as a little girl, coloring for hours on end by myself while listening to pop radio:) Happy afternoons spent finger painting with my Friend Becky were a hoot!..somehow the paintings always ended up being a brown mess; we had a great time mixing the colors:) I still have several of my favorite colored pieces stored away in Mom and Dad's attic.
A BRAND NEW BOX of crayons brought more excitement than any new toy...just a few Christmas's ago, my folks surprised me with a tin of those NEOCOLOR II watersoluable crayons..I cried to think that they would remember their 40 something daughter still LOVES to color!
Here is what I have been coloring today with my new PURPLE Distress Marker, Wilted Violet.
I used the CAS(E) This Sketch #143 designed by Chrissy Larson: for the design of my card..
Becca, my TEAMIE from STAMPlorations, has organized The Hop to Stop. Raising awareness about domestic violence.
YOU can join the HOP as well. All you have to do is make a card featuring purple and link up over at Becca's blog, The Damsel of Distressed.
Becca has gathered support from several SUPER sponsors giving away some great prizes.
Check it out!

What a beautiful post, and card, Laura Jane. For some reason I never thought of it as coloring, but I can sit and use my Zigs or Inktense Pencils and the time just flies. That can be good or bad. ;)
