Paint by numbers

I could not handle adult coloring books. But I was delighted to find a paint by numbers at the grocery store yesterday. I spent 3 hours so far....I love it.

I like crayons, personally...not so much coloring books, unless I am deliberately trying to sit still and be quiet (but working with yarn is better for that). There's something about the smell of crayons!

You do the paint-by-numbers well. I haven't done one in, well, a long time. And I was not so good with them as you. There are some astonishingly elaborate pbn kits for adults now.

Looks great, and a familiar image for you! I wonder if there is a company out there that can take our favorite animal picture, convert it to a PBN kit. That would make me very happy!

Well look at that ... I found one ...

ND, you're right! Exactly before you asked, I googled, and found you can have a photo turned into a P-B-N and also a Puzzle! I'm thinking it would be an awesome gift for a family member who is isolated now.

To my consternation, my husband said, "You want to do a P-B-N of our horse Mag, covered in mud, as he is, most of the time."

My FB page has suddenly been hit by every PBN advertisement imaginable! I paint without numbers so, not sure where/why they’re coming from.

Camryn, after spending some time reading about a new jacket for my man I got jacket advertizing ads all over, too. So there are cookies in the internet that are tracking what we do.
I use this blogger software to write my blog for fun. The software is free for me. And I don't relate to any advertizing measurements blogger does. But you can always limit the amount and the kind of cookies that are tracking you by choosing privacy settings of your software and here in Germany there are rules for webpages that the visitor has to choose which kind of cookies they want to store in their browser. But I don't know if facebook plays by those rules. The only chance to avoid this is to be careful about your privacy settings and the software you use.

(This was written by my German husband and although he asked me to correct his grammar, I refused. I think this is the first time he's ever spoken directly into my blog! -lytha)

That looks great! I have one I started last year, it is a pony and kitty. The problems is I wanted to turn them into MY pony and kitty, and it's a bit tedious and detailed. I love the idea of them though! I think I'm not so much into coloring, I need to make more crafty things (involving glue, beads, paper, glitter, etc!)

Let J know he did an awesome job with his instructions. Far better than I could’ve/would’ve. And thank him for me.
