My Adult Coloring Book- First Pages Done (Johanna Basford's Lost Ocean)

Well it happened. I got into the adult coloring craze a little. 

I used to buy children's coloring books for myself to relax as a teenager, but these new books that have been coming out are so beautifully detailed that I couldn't resist!

The book I started with is Johanna Basford's Lost Ocean. I love how sweet and whimsical her artwork is.

Here are the pages I colored in so far,

Left space for my last name haha

This is the next one I completed. 

I LOVE metallic gel pens!!

I color with Prismacolor pencils and highlight certain areas with Sakura metallic gel pens. These pens are awesome, particularly with this book because you can add that metallic "glow" that a lot of little fishies have.

When I finish more, I'll share!

I Love My Husband

The past 24 hours have been pretty hard and I really don't feel like making the post I was originally planning on. I'm not ready to share why with anyone yet, but I probably will someday when my thoughts are more gathered. I just want to take a moment to share that I love my husband and am thoroughly blessed to have him.

Our wedding cake toppers YEAH!

In a time of need, he scooped me up in a way that was so comforting and loving that it's hard to exactly describe. I started to cry because it was just so nice. LOL

Many people who don't know us well question how such a seemingly cold guy ended up with a romantic goofball like me. What they don't know is his top-secret inner mush which is a billion times more sappy than anything I myself can muster and I totally eat it up. I need it sometimes. I need him. 

I'm just feeling so grateful for him right now and want to leave this here as a little reminder for the next time he eats ALL of my cookie dough ice cream.

I love you honey :)
