Coloring was something I could do alone and really enjoyed!!

I hated to share my coloring and reading books with my cousins because they were not as meticulous as I was and would mark up my reading books too. I actually started hiding them when they came over to visit and the only books I would leave out were the ones they had already marked up.<br /><br />~ TracyMs. Bake-ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788863782876226680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864789586861647605.post-5155966282054151532010-12-09T19:04:08.527-08:002010-12-09T19:04:08.527-08:00Love your post...I always hated to see scribble on...Love your post...I always hated to see scribble on such great pictures in the old coloring books.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628980021701932725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864789586861647605.post-11480580296592427482010-12-09T18:03:16.742-08:002010-12-09T18:03:16.742-08:00Loved your Father's comment. :D Love seeing t...Loved your Father's comment. :D Love seeing the old children's books - would have a collection if had the room. <br />I have to admit - I did not like my books oolored/marked in either.<br />Have a great weekend.Glenda/MidSouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729065523048603563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864789586861647605.post-51083011679127264122010-12-09T18:00:54.014-08:002010-12-09T18:00:54.014-08:00What a neat book.
