Happy Holidays December 2025

Haven't been here since August - my trusty workhorse Dell Latitude laptop died. And I had to get a new laptop. It's a nice one a Dell Inspiron with twice the memory of the old one. 
But it has Windows 11. -- I was just getting used to Windows 10 and they throw this one at me - with a lot of changes to navigate.  And since I had to scramble in getting things off the old laptop, I've got folders of stuff that have to be organized. 

John and I don't do Christmas. He's a 'lapsed Catholic' and I'm a Neo Pagan, Wiccan, and Witch. I do Yule and John just goes along for the ride.

But I still get 'Christmas cards' from a couple of cousins of mine. And this year, my cousin Cindy sent me this one:


She knows how I like to color things and her message inside the card read "Tis the season to bust out a box of crayons."

I don't use crayons. I use colored pencils. And I really haven't had much time to do any coloring, as I've been busy in several projects around the house. So for the past few days I'd been scrambling getting things done around the house so that on Christmas Day I could concentrate on coloring this card.

Here's the finished picture:


Hope you enjoyed your holidays, which ever one you celebrated.

Coloring page for Lughnasadh

 


I was too hot to do any kind of housework today. So I decided to do some coloring. Since the Sabbat Lughnasadh - First Harvest - will be on Friday, August 1, I chose this one to do.

Coloring Projects for the Autumnal Equinox

Second Harvest - Mabon - First Day of Autumn - The Autumnal Equinox Coloring Fun

The first day of Autumn was last Saturday, September 23. In Pagan traditions, we call it Mabon, I didn’t really do anything to mark the Equinox. I’m still busy working in my gardens, getting things ready to plant my fall bulbs. So, to relax and do something for Mabon, I did some coloring. I did 3 coloring projects and it took me almost a week to do them. Between housework, yardwork, a visit to my chiropractor, and well, ‘life,’ yep, it took me this long to do them. 

This first one I did is a balsa wood coloring kit I got from Dollar Tree. It comes with 4 small color markers. I’m happy with the results, but I think overall, it’s too orange. When I go shopping again, I think I’ll pick up another one and color one of the pumpkins a light beige.

The next two are Mabon coloring pages from artist Amy Cesari. Amy is an excellant artist who publishes Pagan-oriented coloring pages, calendars, and planners. Her calendars and planners are also coloring books. I’ve purchased a few of her books. And every so often, Amy gives her customers ‘freebies’ to color. These two were her Mabon freebies for this year. Just google Amy Cesari to get to her website or find her on facebook.


This one is a word-seek puzzle. I enjoy these puzzles. Keeps me sharp. (along with Sudoku puzzles). 

As you can see, I haven’t done this one yet. I wanted to scan it so I would have it to print out to do again at a later date. I believe this came from a Word Seek puzzle book that I bought at Dollar Tree. I usually buy 2 or 3 in the spring at Ollie’s Discount Store. And I decided to share it with you. Just click on it, save to your computer to print out.

Finished coloring page - having fun with Mickey, and with my ever-present watchdog, er bunny, Bugs.

 

Yesterday I posted about a new coloring book that I bought last week, ripped apart, and scanned the pages into my computer.
The book is called ‘Mickey and Friends Feelin’ Spooky,’ and is Halloween-themed.
So I just decided to color one. I chose this one - Mickey as a vampire.

 


 I don’t think I ever realized what big feet he has! I actually do have a small soft Vampire Mickey doll. I’m not sure if the feet are as exaggerated on it. I also have a larger (about a foot and a half tall) soft doll of Mickey as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice from the movie ‘Fantasia.’ I’m not sure about that one’s feet either. Both dolls are upstairs in my bedroom, and I’m downstairs in my computer room.

Mickey isn’t the only cartoon character I love - Bugs Bunny is another favorite - and I have Bugs looking over my shoulder all the time I’m working on my computer.

Having Fun with Coloring and Mickey

Having Fun with Coloring and Mickey

 I suppose my readers think that I am a sad sort of person, wallowing in self pity over the crap that Joan/Doris and the exBFF have done to me - well, that’s far from the truth.

Yes, this blog seems to be centered on those two whack jobs, and that’s because I’m getting things off my chest and putting out the truth of two miserable persons.

One of the things I like to do to unwind is color. When I’m coloring, I’m not only releasing the creative side of myself, I’m relaxing, and the coloring is a sort of meditation.

The past several years there has been a market for adult coloring books and I have a lot of them. From abstract themes, to nature themes, to historical themes. I have a few coloring books based on Ancient Egypt.

What I do when I get a new coloring book is rip it apart. Then I scan the individual pages into my computer. This way, I have the page to print out if I want to color it again. And while I’m scanning - I listen to some music.

By the way, I have ripped all my CDs onto an external hard drive. Most of my old cassette tapes and vinyl record albums have also been digitized into MP3 form. I am constantly amazed at the technology of this. One external hard drive, the size smaller than an old 8 track cartridge, contains more than 1,000 albums of music, audio books, guided meditations and self hypnosis sessions. All carefully backed up of course!

My hubby and I were shopping at Dollar Tree last week and I found a coloring book called “Mickey and Friends Feelin’ Spooky” coloring book. It’s that time of year to be Feelin’ Spooky. (never mind that as a paranormal investigator (ghost hunter) I get to be feelin’ spooky all year round).

Here’s a copy of the front cover if you want to know what to look for. Reconnect with Mickey - you can’t ever go wrong with him.
