Oh I was so pleased to spot this on the book buffet table at the Nottingham UnCon and look forward to a spot of colouring in - in fact I almost nipped down to the shops to buy some coloured pencils there and then!
Thanks for sharing ApoloniaX, I will be sure to Ray it Forward, in fact I know who it's going to!

Double-Trouble and I both have coloured in a page, although they can't seem to log in to their shelf to make a separate JE. I'm going to take it to the Nottingham meet-up tomorrow as I think there are colouring in fans going along :)
Thanks so much for making it available ApoloniaX - hope you're well!

Looking forward to having some relaxing time over the holidays with this lovely colouring book.
That was fun - I enjoyed that! Sending it on to Mrs Hawkins tomorrow. Happy travels
So sorry I didn't journal straight away to let everyone know I'd received this. I'm afraid life got in the way and I confess to having forgotten I even had it for a while there. I have now completed my page and will be emailing the next on the list so I can pass it on as soon as I can.
Thanks for this brilliant idea, I look forward to seeing all the finished pages one day!

Hm...
Being right handed I do have challenging days since I have cut my forefinger on my right hand during washing-up. (I didn't notice the glass had been cracked when I seized it to wash.) Now the Life slowed down around me. Actually writing with a pen and colouring with pencils result funny things on papers... :)) I really would like to do my turn, since I love colouring, thus I keep the book with me in spite of the happening. I am still in time, so I do need no worries right now about holding this ray up, and I will come back in 2 weeks to relate my situation regarding this book & my hand.

My finger is in better health.
Soon I am going to color ... :)

I have finished. The book is ready to go on.
Thanks for your patience toward me :))

It is time to go on in order to discover more in this beautiful World... The book is travelling to its next reader!
I am so sorry. I thought I had journaled this before I left on my vacation.
I took this with me and let my two 13 year old nieces do a page a piece.

Ray-it Forwarded to Azuki.
Book is with me now in Florida. Will definitely pass it on but not sure to whom yet. It's the amazing wonder of BookCrossing that I read the journal and notice a few familiar names here.
My apologies for having kept this book for so long, but worry not, it's rest enough and is now on the road again!
I didn't forget about the book. I just keep hoping for the day that I will have a free afternoon, so I can sit by the window, lay out my color pencils, brew a pot of tea, and have a relaxing, fun time coloring. Needless to say such day never happens.
Until the BookCrossing Day label contest. I brushed the dust off my boxes of pastel and pencils to draw something for the contest. And now everything is on the table, it was much easier to start on this book, though the coloring took place a ten minutes here and there, before preparing for dinner, after coming home from work, etc.
I wish there is some how to guide for coloring this paisley. The designs are rather complex and I had a hard time visualizing what color to put where. I end up just pick up a color, fill in a few spaces here and there... and jumping to another color. Didn't spend as much time as I'd like but I'm afraid that if I don't finish and send it out it may be another few years...
Anyway, this is now going to Tsjara, who is a talented artist. : )

It's here! Thanks so much for sending it to me azuki (don't know about the talented artist part though haha). I have done a colouring ring once before, enjoyed it very much, and I can't wait to get my pencils out. Fun to see what everyone else has done too. :)
Thanks for starting this ApoloniaX! Not sure where it will travel afterwards, maybe I will try posting in the bookring forum.

I very much enjoyed doing the colouring, something I haven't done in a long time (only wished I had more different coloured pencils :p). Finally finished my page and now it is ready to continue its journey.
First stop is New Zealand. :)

I'm so sorry for not Journaling! I hope you can all forgive me o: I've almost finished my page so this will be traveling very soon. It's such a cool idea. When you simply colour your mind just wanders over everything. Very theraputic (;
Travelling! Sorry for holding onto this for so long. (:

I received this in the mail a few days ago and jumped right into coloring one of the pages before remembering to journal it! I had purchased a set of 100 gel pens a few months ago and it gave me the incentive to try them out! It's been a lot of fun so far though I will probably only color one page due to the time it requires. I will be sending it off to the UK as soon as I finish. Thank you for including me!
P.S. This came to me from leahjet so I'm wondering if Hesiodo66, Argentina was missed??? If so maybe I should send it to her next.

I just finished my page in the Colouring Book. Whew it took me longer than expected but it was a lot of fun. As soon as I receive a mailing address I will be sending it off to PennyDainty who is listed after me. Thanks for sharing!

The book is back with me again. I love seeing all the pages that have been filled in since it was last with me in 2012, very pretty.
