As you might know, I publish 2 fresh coloring pages a week. Every Monday & Thursday around noon (Dutch time) a new picture is published online at www.LetMeColor.com. But last Thursday something unusual happened. I missed my deadline…
The night before, I finished the coloring page itself, but was too tired to write the posting. So I decided that I could do that in 5 spare minutes during work, the next day. But that day I was so busy, that I forgot all about it. In the evening I remembered it again and finished the Free Kids on a Swing Coloring Page. And I promised myself that I would never miss a deadline ever again…
The weekend came and it was great. The weather was superb, and we couldn’t resist a few trips on our brandnew bikes. We worked in the garden, played with our kids, my dad paid us a visit and there was nothing to worry about. Really? Nothing? On Sunday night I still had to search a great picture I could use as an example for the coloring page. Hmmmm.
I worked until I could’t keep my eyes open. But the coloring page wasn’t ready when I finally found my bed.
I admit, I started this one too late. And yes, I didn’t expect to break my promise so soon. And no, I will not ever make a promise again (really, I’ll promise)!
Tonight I finished the coloring page I wanted to publish 9 hours earlier. Perhaps too late, but hey, I think it’s a great coloring picture (at least for most boys). It is a wheel loader (or payloader); some heavy equipment that is irresistible to many boys. My son will love it, I’m sure. And that’s what counts, isn’t it? Check it out at http://www.letmecolor.com/2008/04/28/free-heavy-construction-equipment-wheel-loader-coloring-page
I hope the next one is on time. But hey, I just can’t promise…
