My Creatively Random Life

My new friend Jorie from Jorie Loves A Story has introduced me to many interesting things over my time reading her blog in the last month and a bit but my favourite that I wanted to try was colouring while I listen to Audiobooks.  I have a ton of Dot to Dot and colouring books that I have collected for that imaginary one day that I will have time to sit down and do them.  I have decided to use some of my audiobook time to that endevour.  So far it's been quite relaxing. So these are the progress pictures from my first attempt, no bad I would have to say.  I certainly enjoyed it anyways.

I have been super stressed lately and looking for a way to relax in the evenings that truly works for me.  I tried the adult colouring thing but that did not work for my mind. I found one of these adult connect the dots books in the bargain bin at the grocery store when I was walking laps to hit my step goal the other night. (it was too cold outside)  After flipping through it I thought it was worth a shot and brought it home.  Mostly I was just fascinated with  how complicated that they were, 400 dots, 900 dots...sign me up. I did my first one tonight and it was so relaxing.  Using a ruler to draw repetitive tiny lines, apparently that is my idea of a zen state.  It was only a tiny connect the dots and after I was done I felt like I had a power nap. Amazing!!  My lines could use some work though, even with a ruler they are not straight. Do you connect the dots?
