My name is Ruth Mason. I was born in Colorado and have lived there all of my life. Fortunately for me, Colorado affords me one of my favorite things ... weather. I love how quickly the weather changes and that most days are full of sun. Thunder and lightning storms bring out extreme amounts of energy in me. When it is storming I find myself standing at the door or window jumping up and down shouting "bring it on!!" Sound a little crazy? Well I just might be a little crazy and that’s why I spend hours at my computer creating these fun books. Like many of you I have faced many challenges in my life but I have finally reached a point where I can enjoy myself, my life and my free time. This is where coloring books got their beginning. I began creating mandalas using CAD. I had colored mandalas during my recovery from cancer and a nasty divorce. The mandalas are now in several coloring books along with books containing kaleidoscopes and patterns. I’ve also written a children’s book thanks to my wonderful daughters. This story is one of many I made up and told my girls at bedtime. That book is also available on Kindle. There is a coloring book to go along with the written book. Many more of these bedtime stories will make it to print as I look to pass them along for others to enjoy. My Facebook page is called Coloring Designs which is open to the public where you can share your colored pages, comments, criticisms, suggestions and congratulations. Email me at favoritesofruthies@gmail.com. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
