51jOOFvflAL._SX329_BO1,204,203,200_Both my husband and I have read and enjoyed all three books in this trilogy. George Gearing is the young man who, along with his trusty robot friend, Jackbot, has to save the day once again. George is still trying hard to find a way to bring his parents back but he keeps running up against a brick wall. When a way is offered to enlist help, he is in a quandary as to whether or not it is the right or wise thing to do. All decisions have their consequences and George’s certainly does.

Color Your Own Stickers Live, Laugh, Love: Just Color, Peel & Stick

By: Thaneeya McArdle

Rating: 5 of 5

I have purchased a number of coloring books by artist Thaneeya McArdle and have been enjoying all of them. When I saw that she had a peel and stick coloring sticker book, I thought I would try it out. It turns out to be a lot of fun. I like to reward my grandchildren with a sticker at the end of the day when they spend time with me and it means so much more when it is a sticker that I have colored myself.

In addition to simply coloring and using my stickers as rewards, the book has great suggestions as to various crafts and ways that you can use the stickers once you have finished. I am going to use some of those ideas to personalize a few of my gifts this holiday season.

There are ten pages of stickers and as the backside is left blank, you can use whatever type of coloring medium you choose with these. I’ve tried gel pens (including metallics and glitter pens), various water and alcohol-based markers (my sharpie ultra-fine worked great on these!), coloring pencils and even some of my new watercolors. They all work great and I have had no problems with the paper curling, even with the watercolors. Of course, you should wait for the sticker to try before removing it.
