Today I'm going to continue with notes about various coloring books I have.   If you have any questions about a particular book, I'll be happy to dig it out and answer specifics.

I'm trying a different way of linking this post, so you can see prices and it's clear that it's an amazon (affiliate) link.    Let me know what you think in the comments.

I'm normally not too "Christmasy," but this book was done by my favorite author so I had to get it.  I didn't pay attention when ordering it, just saw she had 2 new books out (the other one is below) and knew I'd like it since it was by her.

When it came, I discovered it was an "on the go" coloring book, meaning it's "pocket sized."   I just leave this one in the car and that way when I go out, I just have to grab my travel pens or pencils and I'm ready to go.

The designs are all adorable and what you'd expect from the author.

This is essentially the full size version of the book above.  The designs are not completely identical, so having both of them isn't totally repetitive.  I've found I don't really mind having 2 copies of the same design, in most cases, because it gives me an opportunity to try something different the second time around.

The designs are adorable in this one as well.  There are some designs that are more of a general holiday/winter type vs being strictly Christmas designs.

This is by the same author as the Creative Cats book.  It's pretty similar only with Owls instead of cats    The designs are not exactly the same with owls substituted, however, so having both books is not an issue.   

Most of the designs have a lot of smaller elements in them, so if that is not something you enjoy, you'd probably be better off with a different book.

This was one of the first books I bought.   I love butterflies and if you haven't noticed that by now, you will before too long because I have a bunch of butterfly pages that I haven't posted yet in Picture of the Day.

These designs all have butterflies, obviously.  They vary between larger designs with bigish elements, down to "busy" designs with a lot of detail.

The butterflies in circles with all the little dots that I posted for Picture of the Day a while back is from this book, as well as the one I just posted a couple days ago with the butterflies that are done in pen and the background is done is colored pencil.

This book has pages that are in the more realistic realm.  The designs are relatively large, but have plenty of detail.   I don't recall any designs that are super intricate.   I have a MOOSE page pulled out of this one to do in my current round of pages.
