Journal Entry 24 by wingBookgirrlwing at Acton, Ontario Canada on Tuesday, March 1, 2022
The colouring book has arrived! It is a very pretty book. So much variety. I think I have picked the image I want to colour, but I'll give it one more look before a final decision. PS to mcsar: Thanks also for the lovely "Flower Fairies" postcard. The flower is Stitchwort (UK name). In Canada, we call is Chickweed. I grew up with Flower Fairy books and I just love the art of Cicely Mary Barker. Original Barker artwork has reached as much as $16,000 at auction!

Journal Entry 25 by wingBookgirrlwing at Acton, Ontario Canada on Monday, March 14, 2022
This has been a lot of fun, very relaxing too. I am wondering....is there someone else I am to send the colouring book to? The link is not working for some reason for me. Also, I've tried to get the photo to flip, and it just won't do it!

Journal Entry 26 by wingminesaynwing at Huron, Ohio USA on Tuesday, March 29, 2022
Received today from bookgirrl...thanks so much. Gorgeous illustrations and great job coloring by everyone. Will color one or two pages depending on my mood and find someone else to pass it along to.

"No two persons ever read the same book."--Edmund Wilson

Sharing this book with the wider world--enjoy!
I have either registered it, or received it from another person who is willing to share it, too. Consider logging onto www.bookcrossing.com and letting us know where it is been and where it is going next. It can be done anonymously or join the site as a member.

Had fun coloring a picture (or two) and looking at all the neat drawings and everyone else's coloring. Thanks for letting me participate in this colo'ring (coloring ring).
Sent on to the address I was given, but I am not sure that if it will arrive as there was a discrepancy with the address at the post office. The post office said that there was no such address, but Google says there is, but it is sketchy. I do hope it makes it. Regardless, the coloring book will probably not be sent on until August when the next BCer can get better postal rates.

It's here with me in Georgia! I'll probably also share with my daughters.

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.


Journal Entry 32 by wingPlum-crazywing at Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Saturday, November 5, 2022

Journal Entry 33 by wingPlum-crazywing at Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Friday, January 6, 2023
