So Far.

So far in the year 2020, I have donated my Coloring Books too many Little free libraries. My project has undergone some bad times but, I have strived through it, making innovations to the current one we have today. My coloring books have also seen a tremendous amount of support this year, thanks to Danielle, Jackie, Connie, Krystal, Ayla, Jennifer, John, and Laura. I am also extremely grateful for all of the little free libraryʻs that welcomed my coloring books, thanks to them my project has grown out of state. So I guess this is a little thank you letter as well, but also just a little recap. 

So far I have made 12 innovations to my Coloring books, bought 2 new machines to make the books, and have found 3 new supporting libraryʻs since September. 



The following are all taken by my Grandfather and these are the amazing little free libraries with my Coloring Books in them. So far, over 50 books have made their way into the hands of kids and adults who need a little stress relief.

Let's break it down.

 

^^This is the coloring book portion of my Anti-stress reliever kit. It is made up of a cover page, 6-8 pages of talented artwork from other artists, and a back page crediting all of the people who have helped me on this journey. 

This is an example of what the inside of a book could look like, there is no theme just coloring pages to let out all of your worries.  The pages were harvested from gently used adult coloring books that were partially used. Sometimes looking at one of the huge books can be overwhelming. This smaller collection of pages is just right for a cool down.^^

 

This is also included in my Stress Reliving Kit. It is a 12 pack of Colored Pencils, just so that they don't have to worry about not having color pencils, if they decide to use it.  >>

<< This is also included in the Stress Reliever Kit. A Stress ball or better wide known as a squishy is known to help stress so I thought this would be a good addition to my cause. 
Lastly one of our Donors thought this would be a good addition since it could sharpen the Color pencils. >>
<< So over all this is our final product, it is all in a compacted bag, and can easily go into Little Free Library's. 

  Hello! My name is Danya and I have been working quite prestigiously on this project. My project is an anti-stress kit, my goal with this project is to help calm those who canʻt afford stress relieving items especially now when so many people are out of a job. My kit consists of a coloring book that has been remodeled and created  from talented artists, coloring pencils, a stress ball/ squishy, and a pencil sharpener. (I will go more in depth later) 

My idea to form this was from my personal problems with living my life. I have a Migraine disorder and High functioning  Anxiety, so when making this project I put in mind that maybe other people might need a way to de-stress and they can not afford it or feel overwhelmed by a big book of coloring page. 

Then I needed a place to cater my project into so I chose the Little Free Libraries, global and in my hometown. People who go to Little Free Libraries go to get a book and these people could maybe be bored or need something to do,  have to get their mind off something, or just don't have the time or money to buy it. So, I decided to cater to them because I can maybe give some entertainment or some free stress relief and the Little Free Libraries fit in with my coloring books. 

More placed kits!

Shout out to Auntie Kari of the "Lucky Little Karibrary" for spreading out her kits to several libraries! So fun to see where they...
