When was the last time you coloured in a colouring book?
My mother got me my first adult colouring book last week. Soon, I found myself immersed in bringing pages of intricate floral designs to life with colored markers and pencils. It was engrossing and fun. Adult colouring books have been around since the late 1960's, according to Forbes. But the trend has really escalated during the last few years.
