Day 19: Secret Gardens

Dec 29, 2014 | 30 Days of Joy | 5 comments

Heartbreak, I tell you.

That’s what happened when I got my hands clutched tightly around Johanna Basford’s Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book during a rather competitive Christmas White Elephant gift swap at the Party Barn. Judy brought it, and then I got it, and then someone STOLE IT, reminding me of the life lesson:

Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.

And so I rejoiced to see not one, but two copies of the book, along with a gigantic pack of colored pens, under our sparkling tree Christmas morning.

pensHow fun it has been to share the joy of a grown-up coloring book with my grown-up daughter.

There will be hours and hours and hours of joy. Thank you, Judy. Thank you, Johanna. Thank you, Santa!
