They have a special feature on Mondays which I greatly enjoy called COLOURING WITH CATS where a different Mandala is featured that Basil's human has colored.

For those who may not know, the meaning of Mandala: a Sanskrit word, is circle and like a circle, the mandala represents wholeness. A circle also denotes balance, perfection and eternity as the distance from its center to all points on it remains the same, from wherever it is measured.
Every Monday Basil's human features another Mandala and exercises to help keep us calm. (If only that worked for me! lol).
So, back on February 6th, there was a contest on Basil's blog which was open world-wide! Here is what was being given away, and here is what I won!
I was so excited to win this book because I have been doing quite a bit of coloring lately, and what is so unique about it is that it also has Wordsearch puzzles (which I adore!!!)
I started coloring this page, but didn't finish because there is soooooooooo much detail! It was NOT relaxing lol, but the Word Search was fun!
My FAVORITE part of these prizes though was this GORGEOUS semi-precious gemstone bracelet that was DESIGNED and MADE by Basil's human!!! That makes it EXTRA SPECIAL and it is something that I will always cherish.
Isn't it beautiful!!!??? I was meant to win it I think because the colors of the bracelet and the bag PURRFECTLY match a blanket that I have that I used as the backdrop for this photo.
Each bracelet that Basil's human makes is unique and full of healing energies from the large amethysts in her crystal room. What I particularly love, is I have a rather thick wrist and many bracelets don't fit me, but this bracelet doesn't have a clasp and stretches to fit any wrist! I just LOVE IT!!!
I am sending a HUGE thank you to Basil's human for these wonderful prizes that came all the way from the UK!!! THANK YOU!!!
Pawsome bracelet!

ReplyDeleteWhat an exceptionally gorgeous bracelet. Mom loves the Mandala Mondays on Basil's blog, and she loves to color. Unfortunately, since she began on this 50th reunion project, she has not had time. We think your paisley is turning out very nicely.

Mandala ... some years ago I have spent a whole afternoon looking at 2 monks (Buddhist) making one with special sands. It’s a form of prayer.

ReplyDeleteWay to go on winning those neat prizes. The braclet is neat. I don't think I've ever seen a Coloring Book combined with Word Search Puzzles, that would be fun.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That coloring/word search book looks like a lot of fun. Not as much fun as playing with and petting Cody of course ... but not so bad when he does the feline, "Not NOW, Momma!"
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful gifts! That book looks like something that my Mommy should get...but lately she's been almost too busy to blog...Mes has to sits on her to gets her to write and to comment! Mes is totally exasperated!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Back of Disrespect! Cody! what a wonderful idea! Mes shall does it tonight!

That IS a beautiful bracelet. Mom said she would have loved to have tried for that. By the way. Mom has a cat coloring book she was given but it is so very VERY detailed she doesn't even want to start. She has had it 15 months and still hasn't even tried.
