    I Love your color selections, combinations. Wish I had WiFi while I was in Japan so I could purchase COPIC colors you have been using to color your various projects. Just a heads up IF you go to Japan….I found the BEST COPIC price at TOOLS (COPIC Store) located on the 6F of LUMINE EST in Shinjuku near JR Shinjuku Station and walking distance from BLOSSOM Hotel. Tokyu Hands had the next best price.

    So, is there anyone that doesn’t love OCC. I loved the class I took, but I’m doing well sticking to my budget this year! The lily is gorgeous and reminds me of many days spent
    with my parents on the lake!

  114. Nora says

    I love the OCC too!! I actually have two I bought and have not used. (bad me) I need a chunk of time to watch!! I so want to take the holiday class, though and might have to splurge!!

  115. Terry B. says

    Thanks for a chance to win a spot in the Merry Making OCC class!

    The blue Tiger Lily against the green background is stunning! I would love to attend an OCC class! Thanks for the chance to win this! It is the gift that keeps on giving! TFS!

  120. Carolyn says

    Hi Kathy,
    I’m really enjoying this round. I can’t participate, because I’m a teacher and the beginning of school is a lot right now. But I love learning from you and seeing what is being made.
    Blessings,
    Carolyn

  122. bev p says

    I can’t believe I thought I couldn’t follow along this time, as I have done something almost every day…just as you said, even a few minutes. And I have felt unbelievably stressed on the days I don’t. I haven’t done any of the online card classes, but have wanted to. Thanks to you and to them for giving me a chance at winning a spot. And…one more thought: I think florals are about the most fun of anything to color! Yours are always beautiful, even though I can’t believe what you consider fun to fussy cut. (smile…this is from someone who flunked scissors in kindergarten!)

  124. Barbara Rademacher says

    Is Merry Making about making Christmas Cards? I plan to join in the Christmas Card volunteer effort – I forget what it is called, but I and my coworkers made 500 cards last year.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Yes Barbara, it it Christmas cardmaking. If you’ve never taken a class from OnlineCardClasses.com I cannot recommend them enough!!! Lifetime access and the prices are affordable! PDFs to download, coupon codes to use at stores during the week the class is live….. the list goes on!!!

  127. Francine says

    What a wonderful give away. You must have some good friends. Get the final image to look like I want is always a challenge.. When I think I am doing ok, I look again later and its not. I’m sure a class would help to improve my work.

  128. Danielle Dietz says

    Your coloring skills amaze me regularly. I hope to learn to color some day with a smidgen of your talent!

  130. Trish Hughes says

    Thanks for all your coloring inspiration. You continue to awe me with your color combinations and coloring mediums. You excel in all of them. Thanks for a chance to win a spot in the online card class.

  135. Karen Claypool says

    What a wonderful thing it would be to take one of your classes! You amaze with your creativity and abilities ,you make your coloring look so effortless. Thanks for sharing!

  172. Sarah says

    Thank you for all your inspiration Kathy, I love to see your colourful creations. Online Card Classes are always fun and a bit of Christmassy encouragement wouldn’t go amiss 🙂

    That is one beautiful lily. I love the colour, details and how it fills the space, taking up the whole front of the card.

  185. Samisu says

    I am so sorry about your friend. People are amazing. When their life is upside down they are still helping others. I will keep her and her family in my thoughts. Also praying for the people who have been displaced from all the natural disasters. Keep coloring.
