“If you want an interesting party sometime,
combine cocktails and
a fresh box of crayons for everyone.”
Robert Fulghum

It’s good old-fashioned child’s play. Filling in the spaces with color. The newest and best relaxation method, and stress-reducer that is soaring in popularity. It’s something that most people haven’t done since elementary school — coloring.

Lately, coloring is so popular in France, coloring books are out selling cookbooks. Amazon lists over 2,200 coloring books for sale. In fact, producers of coloring books for adults can’t seem to print them fast enough. One of the top ten best sellers on Amazon listed is Johanna Basford’s “Secret Garden” series.
