Johanna's Christmas

Treated myself to one of Johanna Basford's colouring books as a little reward for completing the 100 Days Sober challenge!

The darn elf found my toilet roll stash!

Been working like mad to finish this coloring picture for a friend's wedding present & the wedding is only a couple days away! I'm framing two pictures and then filling a recipe book with some favorites from out family. Needless to say, the books I'm currently surrounded by are of the coloring and cooking persuasion 🎨 I couldn't find this coloring book in the Litsy database, so I tagged a book by my favorite colorist, Johanna Basford, instead 😊

DivineDiana Did you finish? 8y

wordslinger42 @DivineDiana I did, the day before the wedding! 😅 But it got framed, wrapped & gifted, so it worked out, even though I finished it at the last minute! 8y

DivineDiana @wordslinger42 👏🏻👰🤵 8y

I can't read and watch soccer at the same time, but I can color. Coloring #johannaschristmas while cheering on Manchester City, and laughing that the first NYT best seller I've bought is a coloring book.

Cinfhen Looks good😍 9y

MamaGina Nice! Great idea too, although I'll be supporting my favorite team ... Liverpool!!!😁 9y

Coloring while watching the Australian series The Librarians on Hulu. And I have great news: We have power! 🎉🎉🎉 (and hot water 🚿) 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

mcipher Yay!!!! Power is awesome. 💡 9y

Donna_sBookMinute Wow. That was a long time. When we lose power due to a storm, it's like an adventure at first -- seeing how creative we can be for essentials. Then it gets old. Glad yours is back on. 9y

vivastory Good! Enjoy Hulu and light to color by. 💡 💡 9y

I was coloring and #Septimus was napping when electrician came. Good news: appliances should be fine. Bad news: he couldn't do anything. We have to wait until the government's power company comes to replace the burnt-out line. 😱😱😱

KarenUK Oh no! That's awful... 😱 9y

LeahBergen Oh, no. 👎🏻 9y

Notafraidofwords Ugh. I'm sorry. 9y
