An Amish Coloring Book Giveaway! A DRAWING!

I brought something back with me (to share with a lucky blog reader) last time I ventured north and went to the Amish store, Pioneer General. I thought my blog readers might enter the drawing to win the coloring book and a new box of crayons for their child or children....but then...

I opened up the new box full of possibilities, sniffed very deeply...and decided that perhaps an ADULT reader of my blog may want the crayons and coloring book for themselves! (I am always a sucker for a new box of crayons...never have outgrown that, and coloring is just plain fun and relaxing!) And then...

When I opened up the Amish coloring book to look at the hand-drawn pictures to be able to show you a few of them, I knew for sure that the grown-ups would definitely want to color in this book, too. And perhaps even trace a few of the pictures (like the wringer washer, above!) onto a flour sack towel to embroider as many of the drawings would be so cute on an old-fashioned dishtowel!

And then when I saw this page, it was all I could do to NOT sit right down and color this garden during a spring rain....too sweet! You will not see any "images" of the Amish people themselves in this book. That goes against their teaching, so most of it is scenes from an Amish point of view: from around their farm. **Edited to add: these pages are heavy white bond paper instead of the low-quality manila paper you're used to in a coloring book.

I can always go back and get myself one of these another day but I want all of you who love to color, or who would like this for their little one to enter this drawing...and there is even more cuteness and a whole bunch of farm animals and more in the pages of this sweet coloring book. Send your friends over, too!

DRAWING WILL BE Thursday, APRIL 30TH!

(I can't be the only one at age 47 who likes to sit down and color every now and then, right? Who can open a fresh box of Crayons without thinking of that first day of school long ago in elementary school when a fresh and crisp package of crayons sat on your school desk with a new Dick & Jane workbook on top of which sat the Dick & Jane reader?)
