The Time Garden is a Fun Way to Lose Youself in the Trend of Adult Coloring Books

Adult Coloring Books. Simply put, the artful trend of the moment that is more like a way for adults to reconnect with their childhoods. The Time Garden by Daria Song is a gorgeous adult coloring book that is incredibly well-illustrated and tells a charming tale. It was easy and enjoyable for me to sit down with this book, some colored pencils, and a cup of tea and just lose myself in another world for a little while.

Have fun with this adult coloring book, The Time Garden by Daria Song.

This coloring book experience allowed me to relax and just enjoy the simple pleasures of coloring. Added bonus: I instituted "coloring time" in my home and my son and I both colored our respective coloring books side by side. Peaceful, stress relieving and a great way to unwind. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants to play with coloring books all over again!

Do You Have a Camera? You Need Learning to See Creatively

Calling all newbie photographers (or really anyone who wants to get better at taking pictures), you must get your hands on the newly released Third Edition of Learning to See Creatively by Bryan Peterson. Anyone who has even dabbled with their DSLR in non-automatic mode knows Mr. Peterson (you have to have had "the bible" of photography: Understanding Exposure). 

This book is really a gem for everyone who owns a camera. It's non-intimidating enough for beginners yet thorough enough for those with some more experience. Peterson deeply immerses the reader in information and tips certain to bring a fresh perspective to your photos, not to mention his own photos included in the book are gorgeous to look at. 

Bundle this one up along side Understanding Exposure and you've got all you need to creatively "see" a picture and capture it on camera.
