Tranquility; A Prayer and Reflection Coloring Journal

Tranquility: A Prayer and Reflection Coloring Journal invites you to mix creative journaling and coloring into your personal time with God. Prayers that focus on topics such as being thankful, dealing with stress and heartache, caring for yourself and others, listening for God’s leading, and waiting patiently on Him will guide your thoughts and calm your spirit. Filled with more than 100 designs to color, plenty of space for journaling, and 40 needs-based prayers, Tranquility will help you express your devotion to God with your whole heart.

My thoughts: I have the first journal, Gratitude, and love it. So, I was thrilled to get a hold of this one as well! I think I may like it even more than the first one, since I love adult coloring books, but I like for them not to be too detailed. With this one, I feel like it is just the right balance of detail for me, while people who like more detail can have plenty to work with as well. The thoughts that accompany the coloring are lovely too: kind words, peace, making the most of life, and friendship, to name a few. All things that have been on my mind lately.;)
This journal is a great way to think on lovely things while working on lovely pictures!

My thoughts: When I saw this book, a combination of an adult coloring book and a prayer and praise journal, I just had to jump at the chance to review it! I have enjoyed journaling since I was a teen, and I love coloring books (my husband teases me that I pull out my daughter's coloring books more for me than her.;) I suppose it is only fair that she wants me to share this one!), so this is the perfect combination for me! I love the coloring pages and how the journal side of things gets one to think about specific things you are grateful for. I love focusing on the question for the set of pages while I color! This book would make the perfect gift for Christmas!

Collage this Journal by Eleanor Shakespeare

This irrisistibly iteractive journal is filled with dozens of clever ideas for recording your life, such as "Make balloons out of photos from special and happy occasions" or  "Fill the genie's lamp with wishes." The author/illustrator's wonderfully layered photo-illustration montages invite readers to mix media, too, and make this keepsake truly their own.

My thoughts: It's no secret that I love all things paper and crafty, so this journal is the epitome of fun in my book! I love that it sparks creativity and dares the journalist to have fun and get creative. It's the perfect gift or just a fun splurge!
