SO thrilled to see these colouring books coming into vogue. They are wonderful. I hope YOU show us some of the pages coloured in, should you have got one in your stocking or under the tree w. your rough linen pinnie. :) Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-57766835349645108122015-12-13T10:49:07.588-05:002015-12-13T10:49:07.588-05:00I need to come back and visit your lovely blog but...I need to come back and visit your lovely blog but things have been hectic for us these past few weeks and I'm very behind. I did want to respond to your comment on my Out of Africa post, though...I was bracing myself for a negative comment and knew I'd get at least one! :-) First of all, the wild animal park is CALLED Out of Africa and they have bears, wolves and other animals that are not from Africa, besides the tigers. Secondly, I regretted not having time to upload the videos I took because on it you can hear the announcer telling why they have these wonderful creatures and it isn't because they were captured specifically to be there. It is an amazing place where the animals have better care than most zoos, and if you go to the link you will get a better idea of what it is like. Also, they don't make the tigers perform. All they do is run around with the "toys" to make the tigers do what comes naturally....chase prey. They put themselves in danger being in there with them, but the tigers know they will get treats of meat if they give up the toy, and they (at least so far) participate wonderfully. I hate circuses and am disappointed with most zoos. I also would never go back to Sea World because of what I have learned in recent years about their practices. So, I agree with you about the animals in captivity. This park is just a cut above, and offers a wonderful home to wild creatures who need it. I wish I had included this info in my post and probably will cut and past it into the next so everyone will understand better. Also, be sure to watch the videos when I finally get them uploaded.<br /><br />Have an awesome Christmas! I'll try to visit again as soon as I can. I do appreciate your comments. Take care!<br /><br />MarieA Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-36699305679067442902015-12-11T21:49:19.064-05:002015-12-11T21:49:19.064-05:00I think the adult coloring books are a great idea,...I think the adult coloring books are a great idea, though I may want to color outside the lines. :) Your Christmas wish list is wonderful. Love the sweater, and the rough linen looks divine. Fragrance is always something I enjoy receiving. Any book on English country life is appealing to me, so I'm sure I'd enjoy "The Shepherd's Life". May all your wishes come true, Mary.

I haven't colored much yet, but after Christmas I will be coloring in the evenings. Oh how I would love those sheets. They look like yummm! I keep thinking about your shoes from France and have been drooling over the thought. They would look good with that sweater.

My siblings and parents are coming for this weekend and I've printed off a few coloring pages from the internet. If it catches, I'd like a botanical themed coloring book. Linen sheets are on my "someday" list, too, and you put me onto the Rough Linen site which I love. Such quality.

I find them too busy looking so I guess I'll pass. I'm hoping to get snowshoes with poles. I'm feeling quite well physically and would love to get out and enjoy the snow (if we get any) this winter. :) The sweater you chose is lovely.
