WIN a gorgeous set of colouring books – for adults!
IT’S all the rage you know…
Colouring books for adults. And if you’re now looking agog and thinking “what on earth!”, well folks, all I can say is, don’t mock it until you’ve tried them.
I first came across adult colouring books just before Christmas time after I did a little search for one on Amazon. I’d been doing lots of ‘colouring in’ with Elsie and was quite astonished at how much I really enjoyed it.
And, how much it helped me to relax.
Anyway I must have been a very good girl last year, because Father Christmas did bring me one in my stocking. And I’ve loved it ever since.
And so, well, now it’s my turn to play Santa! (kind of) and offer not one but THREE (!) lucky Pouting In Heels readers the chance to win a divine collection of adult colouring books from Phoenix Yard Books -that have just been released – plus colouring pencils.
There are five books in ‘The One and Only Colouring Book’ series which are aimed at adults and older children and after receiving the collection myself to try out, I can tell you this, you are going to love them.
They are brilliant to enjoy on your own, share with your children or even your mates! Trust me, this is THE big thing folks – this Dutch series has sold over 500,000 copies already!
Fancy winning a set? Super!
Just enter below using Rafflecopter and good luck!
With love,
Kate

My way of being creative is making and decorating cakes. I like experimenting with flavours and then decorating cakes in a variety of ways. It’s just as well really as I have four children, all of whom have birthdays close together (three are within 8 days) and so I get to come up with different ideas and themes for each birthday cake.
