Bless this Mess

Happiness. Relaxation. Mindfulness. You may not find all of these qualities in this particular coloring book! Bless This Mess provides sage wisdom from a somewhat different perspective. It may be slightly off-kilter, but the irreverent sayings in this book will certainly keep you coloring and laughing at its pearls of wisdom.

Bless This Mess takes the style of cross-stitch samplers famed for comforting sayings like “Home Sweet Home” and gives them a new spin! Emblazoned in every sampler pattern are tongue-in-cheek sayings such as “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” “Get off my lawn!” “Never go to bed angry. Stay awake and plot revenge.” and more comical sayings for you color!

This book includes fifty crafty images on pages perforated and printed on one side only for easy removal and display. This is the perfect book for snarky colorists who want to be creative but also add a pinch of sarcasm and humor to their coloring. Cross-stitchers and those who enjoy a clever turn of phrase will find this coloring book a rousing experience. Grab your colored pencil set, a copy of Bless This Mess, and spread the message of coloring and a few other choice words! Adult coloring, but not entirely mature.
