I received this care package in the mail last week.
It was unexpected. It brought me joy. It reminded me why people love getting gifts of art and creativity. Even a co-owner of a store, like me, dedicated to the mission of sharing creativity with the world, needs a reminder once in a while. The happiness it is spreading is immeasurable.
I had re-posted on Facebook an article about a recent study that found that coloring is good for adults. You can read about it here at the Huffington Post. Julie Cates, an accomplished artist and friend, had responded. And, I believe, that was where the seed for this deeply appreciated gift was planted.
Since my original post I have come across another post about coloring books intended for adults. Again, it made me happy to know that coloring, this seemingly “for children only” hobby, has many benefits. You can find out about the newly published coloring book here, coloring book for adults.
So, it turns out coloring is good for people of all ages. And, I for one, will be coloring more often and well into my years. Join me.

I have watched you color inside and outside of the lines for years. Keep going, sister!
I think we should have a family dinner and coloring night!
I have ALWAYS enjoyed coloring with the children. Quality time, yes indeed.
Thanks for the reminder.

Beckie…my daughter immediately talked me into coloring with her…it was fantastic and by telling her coloring is good for me too it gave her permission to be a little kid again too. She is 10 and sometimes they think they have to give up the joys of childhood. Hope to keep her connected to her inner child forever.
I love it! You bring more color into the world just being you — but I’m all for coloring inside and outside of the lines literally and figuratively. Whether the art is just for you to feel your strokes of genius or painting tiles for philanthropic causes; colorful and creative Casey is one that I love. I’m so glad that you are being encouraged to color more by friends and your artistic, Kodachrome family.
