What’s your creative outlet? Me? I like to make things with my hands, this ranges from crafts to baking. I’m not very artistic, but I’m good at simple design or following instructions. I used to enjoy knitting, but a baby and 2 cats made that too frustrating. I think everyone has a creative part in them, but as we get older and work all the time we often put these “hobbies” to one side. This is a shame and we should all make the time to explore different skills.
It doesn’t surprise me that over the last few years colouring books for adults have become hugely popular. These books allow adults to get creative and produce stunning results without needing any confidence in our ability to draw. Walk into a book shop and there are now 100s of different books to choose from.
Whether you are a fan of colouring books for adults or you think you would like to give it a go for the first time why not enter my giveaway? I’m a huge fan of Orla Kiely’s designs and this colouring book is full of her simple, repetitive designs. They looks great in black and white and even better when coloured in.
To enter you just need to choose one or more options in the Rafflecopter widget below. If you would like to share this competition on social media that would be lovely too. The giveaway will close at midnight on Sunday 29th January 2017 and I will contact the winner as soon as my baby allows the following week. UK entrants only.
Remember to come back after the giveaway closes to find out who the winner is and to enter my next one.
Thanks as always for visiting my blog and taking the time to enter my giveaway.
