I bought mine at amazon. It's a creative haven coloring book, whimsical gardens

I like it.

OklaMoni it is just darling. I love it and this is just what a lot of people want. Do you know what tools you will use to color it? When you're done can you show on here your finished piece and some suggestions? I'm happy for you.

The paper in the Paisley coloring book is a good thick paper with just one side used. It is pretty decent. The ones I printed from online are just a heavy gauge printer paper. The people on the Facebook group said they used card stock.

The gel pens don't bleed through but the sharpies and Bic markits do a little. I put a few sheets of blank printer paper behind them in my clipboard as I color. The set of gels I got at Costco has 100 pens in various types of ink including glitter and metallic. I like those best. It comes in a stadium stacked display case. All for $20. I also picked up some clear document sheet holders to put my finished pieces in, I have a 3 ring binder for those. I need to take pictures of several of my finished ones. I have definitely been enjoying the process. My fingers seem to be a little more flexible too.

This is the exact same gel pens I got. Here they are $60.

This is the book I bought.

Crazy Paisley

My grand daughter loves to color. I wanted to introduce her to colored pencils, and I bought the prismacolor premier 48 pencil set on amazon. Bought the book at the same time.

She enjoyed coloring in the book. I kept the set here, for me, and for her when she comes for the yearly visit with the parents.

Raven, you got some good bargains at Costco and Hobby Lobby. Looks like Hobby Lobby has a 40% off coupon too. I will get the pens at Costco. I think having metallic is fun.

Yes I used the 40 %off coupon at hobby lobby when I bought it. You can always find the coupon on the website.

Thank U, Maggie. I will check that out for sure. That's very thoughtful of you.

Yesterday when I was surfing the Internet for free printable pages, I picked up a virus and had to haul the computer up to the repair shop!! So I definitely recommend purchased coloring books rather than wandering the Internet into bad neighborhoods. The freebies aren't that good anyway.

Good deal at Costco.

You know what I started to warn about going to those freebie sites, many are notorious for only giving freebies in order to attract people and pass on their infections. I highly suggest adding WOT to your browser which will warn you that you are going to a high risk site or one known for spreading malware. It's super easy to add and use. Plus be absolutely sure that you have your flash updated to the most recent version as well as java and Adobe and of course windows updates. The flash updates have been coming out rapidly because of these kinds of drive by malware.

Here's WOT. Get the version for the browser you use! WOT

I just added WOT. I am so glad for your help.

Socks, you got your computer fixed that quickly? That's amazing. Sorry it happened. There are a few free ones on the Angie Grace website. If you read the posts above your comment people have found some others they like too. the books are not pricey but the colors can be depending what you pick. Raven set herself up and Oklamoni too.

You are welcome Maggie. Probably the malware on the infected site could have been removed using an updated copy of malwarebytes free. It's my first choice.

The free ones I had linked to on the other thread were to Angie Grace website, those are all safe. I downloaded all of those. There are tons of links on pinterest but be careful because some of those resolved to some sketchy looking sites.

I just added WOT also. Thanks

Maggie, I'm using my iPad until Tuesday when the computer comes back. I hope it's a simple fix. The virus offered a telephone number to call to get "help," no doubt you'd need a credit card when making that call. Thank you Raven for all the great suggestions for computer safety.

Got the computer back! I use Malwarebytes, but after what I call the "Coloring Book Virus" arrived on the computer, Malwarebytes did not pick it up nor did AVG Free. Too late I guess.

Raven, I use IE and saw WOT on download.com but would rather download from the site you linked. I just have to make an account in order to hook up with the IE version of WOT? Also, if a person clicks on a site and WOT gives you a warning, isn't it too late by then? Not sure how it works.

Moni, sweet picture of your granddaughter.

Here's my current work. Hey, others can share work too!!

You don't have to have an account it's not required. Just select the download for IE. The link I provided is the actual wot site so a safe site. If you do a Google search wot will give you a red warning if a site is a dangerous site so you know to avoid it. It you try to go to a red listed site wot will prevent the page from opening and give you a full page red warning. You can click on the warnings and read exactly what the warnings are about.

Pretty picture!

Ie wot

Great, thank you. Sorry if I'm a pest, but one more question, please....? Does it have to be a "google" search or can it be any search engine?

I think most of the major ones but I rarely use anything other than Google so I can't remember which ones. You are never a pest lol

This is a tour of the features it may help you understand it. Nothing is fail safe but every little bit helps.

WOT tour

Of course, thank you again.
