Hello Friends, How are you? It’s day 30!!! Say What!! I can’t believe how these coloring challenges go by so quickly. Daily I was inspired by what you all were posting. Such creativity!! I am so tickled when I hear that you are seeing improvements in your coloring or how coloring helped you get through something or coloring brought you joy! You all have been so kind and supportive of the coloring challenges and words can’t begin to express my gratitude.
I am guessing you have lots of coloring that is looking all beautiful on your crafty table or desk. Hummm what to do with all that beauty. What about a Kindness Rock or a paper weight … or a gift? Before we get started one more thing ….
I do have to apologize that posting in the FaceBook group was just to much for me. FB is a place I never visit and I wanted to be able to be a supportive person in the group but, every day I thought I could and then it just never happened. So sorry. A super huge thanks to the Good Will Ambassadors for spreading love on Facebook & Instagram. The challenge is about coloring & it’s about COMMUNITY, spreading kindness & support for each other ❤😀 A huge shout out to these ladies Patricia, Tracy, Pepita Carol, Janelle, Jean, Cheryl, Kristina, Barb, Sharla, Barbara , Ruby and Patti.
I want to thank so many of you for being so active, supportive and encouraging in the FB group and or at Instagram. I hope we were able to reach you and encourage you. Our community is the best and the most supportive people I have had the pleasure of knowing.
The video explains a little how my rocks evolved and my mistakes.
If you are like me you might have a ton of sequins and glitter. Once I got rolling with the rocks I wanted to try using up some of my stash … rather making a teeny tiny dent in my stash lol. The sequins are from Lucy’s Little Things and I glued them down with glossy accents.
These two rocks were stamped with Simon’s “Hello There” adorable monkey but, they look so different. I was experimenting and having fun seeing what works and what might be fun to repeat. The blue rock was painted blue then colored with Altenew’s markers .How long has it been since you used Utee? Utee is ultra thick embossing powder and I like how it looked on the rock but, the rock does take a bit to heat up.
Decoupage is something I haven’t thought about for years. The rocks and my watercolored birds were sitting on my table and an idea was born. I love the dimension and the way the image wraps around the rock. So fun to doodle too. I glued everything down with glossy accents. The protective coating I put on my rock was really old this is new and is designed for decoupage .
These adorable monkeys were from a previous 30 day coloring challenge that hadn’t made it to a card yet. I thought it might be fun to find this rock with these cuties. I used the protective coating and then added glossy accents to the monkeys for more dimension.
The rock on the right was painted with gold acrylic paint, stamped with this flower and topped off with an antique a button.
I posted two painted blue rocks on Instagram and a few ladies reached out to me to share with me about the Kindness Rocks. OMG!! Apparently I have been sleeping under a ROCK because this is all new to me. Koren shared these rocks that her daughter painted. LOVE it! Thanks ladies for informing me!
The Kindness Rocks Project has a CALL TO ACTION: “Please join our kindness rocks project and help us spread kindness to unsuspecting recipients along the way! Together we can make this world a little bit happier!”
The Kindness Rocks Project here. The Kindness Rocks Questions & Answers here.
It’s cool that you can search to find a painting group in your area through The Kindness Rocks Project Painting Groups search here.
Severna Park Rocks shares where they find the rocks etc and it’s so fun to see the variety and creativity. Libby from Hero Arts said that she has heard of other FB groups for kindness rocks.
GIVEAWAY! Altenew is giving away a set of their alcohol markers and you can pick the set that you want. Woo Hoo Thank You Altenew. A winner will be announced no later than July 10. To qualify please tell me if you are going to keep coloring.
In closing … The last day is always so bittersweet for me …it’s like when the holidays are over and you get that let down. I want to thank you each and everyone of you for making the challenge a super fun one. Your daily visits, the comments, the participation, the support etc. etc. T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U. from the bottom of my heart 🙂 Many Hugs and love, Kathy

It has been ana amazing month of coloring along side you Kathy! Thank you, thank you for hosting such a wonderful challenge. My first set of Copics arrived on the second of June so I hopped on board and have learned so much from coloring this last month alone! ❤ I will certainly continue coloring!
Whoo hooo to your first Copics, Amy!!! Thanks for playing along and I’m so happy you’re embracing and enjoying coloring!
I am certainly going to keep practising my colouring – you have been a great tutor!
I have had so much fun coloring this last month. I had gotten away from it, and am so glad your challenge nudged me along to become reacquainted with an old love. I will certainly continue coloring, and am even going to start painting some rocks (hopefully getting my kiddos involved!). You are amazing! Thanks for sharing your talent so freely!
Thank you for your kind words, Katie! So happy you’ve enjoyed the challenge and will make some kindness rock with your kids! Yippee!!!
#kindnessmatters
I love coloring so I certainly will continue coloring.
It’s been fabulous month of creativity for me. Some days I was enthusiastic about colouring and other days I had to make myself do something. I have to admit I ran out of steam and time by day 27 and I didn’t do any more. But in saying that, today was day 30 here in NZ and I created a card this afternoon for a friends birthday. I didn’t think that today was the last day of the challenge. I made the card because I enjoying crafting, stamping and colouring. I will definitely keep colouring in the future and I plan to try more techniques. Thank you Kathy for running this challenge and encouraging us to be creative.
That’s okay, Julie! You did what you could and that’s perfectly fine! I’m happy you played along and are enjoying coloring and cardmaking!
Of course I’m going to continue coloring. Although I usually [automatically] reach for the Copics when coloring, I will now make a conscious effort to try and/or use different mediums. I’ve got plenty of colored pencils and paints that need more attention. TY for a fun and inspiring month.
Oh Kathy, these are gorgeous rocks and although they are too pretty to hide, I can honestly say that ANYONE finding one of these would HAVE to be excited about it!
Yes, my desk is covered in bits and backgrounds that have been coloured throughout the month. I even got some cards and tags completed! YAY! I am most definitely going to continue coluring. I tried to add a pic on IG of what I was working on early in the month but I don’t use IG enough to know if I was successful or not, so I didn’t try again but I HAVE been colouring! I cannot believe 30 days has gone by this quickly but I am glad it has as I have been waiting for school to get out so I can have random sleepovers with my 4 & 6 y/o grandsons….NOW I will have two little “in-house” buddies to craft/colour with! Let the creativity begin…Have a happy summer Kathy!
Kids always make the crafty energy higher!!! Thanks for playing along again and happy coloring!
Of course I am going to keep coloring. I love it so and find it super relaxing
Kathy! I can’t believe the last day of the Challenge is here. You’re right, it seems to go by so fast. I’m so happy that I was able to participate in some way every day of the challenge. And hopefully later today as well. In the meantime thank you for always encouraging us to just do it. Not to think to much, but to jump in and enjoy. It’s so appreciated by me and I’m sure many others. This kindness rocks project looks amazing. What a unique and creative way to use the images we’ve colored. Thank you for sharing that. I am most definitely planning to continue coloring. Especially in my coloring books, that was a lot of fun. You don’t realize how much you miss it sometimes until you come back to it. Big hugs and eagerly looking forward to the next Challenge whenever that happens!!!
Awe Jeanne, thanks for your sweet comments. I’m delighted you’ve discovered your love for coloring and coloring books, again! Yahoo!!
oh wow!
love those!
so very nice!
hugs
While it was a difficult month for me and I didn’t get as much coloring done as I had hoped, I did color some card images and got my Tombows out for the first time. I also got my color book out for a change. I plan to continue coloring through the Summer months because I have lots of projects I want to make. Thank you for the encouraging words each day and I can’t wait for the next coloring challenge!
That’s okay, Cathy. Don’t be hard on yourself! Life often doesn’t always allow us to color as much as we hope to but hopefully you’ll be able to create this summer as you like. Thanks for playing along in the challenge when you could!
I will definitely love to color more often in coming days as i can not join regularly the challenge !!…Thank you for awakening our coloring soul 🙂
Awe yay! You’re welcome and thank you!!! Happy coloring!
I only found this blog half way through the month, but I have enjoyed your posts. I don’t color every day, but it is my relaxation and I will always keep coloring.
Well WELCOME, Louise! I’m happy you found your way here! That’s okay that you didn’t color everyday but you ARE doing the important thing! Coloring for relaxation and joy! That’s the whole purpose of the challenge! To find some time for yourself! Happy coloring!
Of course I’m going to keep coloring. Maybe not everyday, but as much as I can. Thank you Kathy for all the inspiration, motivation, and kind words. This was my first 30 day to participate and certainly not my last. I’ve enjoyed every single moment of it!!
Whooo hooooo JACKIE! Congrats on finishing your first coloring challenge with me! I’m glad you found my blog and challenge!
Yes, we learned about the rocks at the grocery store from a checkout person. She tells us theres a rock right there if you want to rehide it. We were, huh? So we got the low down then. I actually thought thats what you were making these for! They turned out beautiful. It would be fun to create some and share them as well. Yes, I do plan to keep coloring. Its been a lot of fun seeing everyone’s creations! There is such amazing talent in this crafting community! Thanks for a fun month (I can’t believe its over already).
Yes, definitely will continue to colour every day! I did complete the challenge, but could not share what I was working on the first half of the challenge.
Because of this challenge two years ago, I started to learn how to colour — shading, cast shaows, flicking, roundness, etc. Love how it took my cardmaking to the next level! In fact, this year my mom surprised me and paid me a compliment about it. With Asian culture, or maybe more specifically my parents, compliments are hard to come by. She caught me off guard, but it sure was a good feeling!
Thank you, Kathy, for hosting this incredible event! xx
Oh Trina this makes me feel so happy inside! I’m delighted your mother gave you compliment and I am proud of you!!! Thank you for playing along with the color challenge and coloring for the fun and love of it! Happy coloring and creating!
Yes, of course! I try to color something almost every day, even though I never show them XD
That’s ok – you don’t have to show them!! As long as you’re enjoying the relaxation and fun of coloring and taking time out for yourself, you’re winning!!!
Yes, I’m going to continue coloring. But first I have to take all my coloring and make them into cards to send to Cards for little hearts to brighten up people in hospitals. I try to match up your coloring challenge with a card drive.
That’s such a wonderful thing to do. I’m so happy my color challenge has inspired you to create for an amazing cause!
I love finding kindness rocks on my walk and have been meaning to try making some – this was perfect timing!! And I really didn’t color much before this challenge, but I’m definitely going to continue!! No more avoiding buying stamps that need to be colored in!! LOL
Hahaha – yay Susan – you can do it!!’ I’m glad you enjoyed the challenge and stepped out of your comfort zone! I’m proud of you!
Coloring is the best medicine for everything 🙂 Yes, I will continue!
Yes, I agree!!!
This has been my first colouring challenge and I have LOVED it! Thank you for your inspiration Kathy, and for all the things I am learning from you and from others in the challenge. I am fairly new to colouring in card crafting but this has shown me that it’s what I love to do when making cards. I am now colouring with pencils, watercolours, and Copics, and will continue to do so. So …. a big hug from me in Western Australia!
Yay Gabi and WELCOME! I’m so happy you joined the challenge and found my blog! Happy coloring!
I will definitely keep coloring! It’s fun and relaxing. Plus it makes me feel I’m a part of the most wonderful group of friendly, kind, thoughtful, caring and sweet people on earth! Kathy, thank you for creating this awesome experience and continuing it often. God Bless!
Oh Carol, I agree. The cardmaking and coloring community is just wonderful – we all meet friends from allover the world! I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed the challenge and happy coloring!
Such beautiful rocks. I can remember when I was a little girl and my friends and I would paint rocks just to have something to do.
Since my father passed away in April I have found it hard to color anything but since yesterday my passion for coloring is slowly coming back and I am so super excited because I have really missed coloring! So yes I am going to keep coloring!!
Oh Sabrina, I’m so sorry to hear about your father. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
You are going to hate me… but WHEN IS THE NEXT 30 DAY CHALLENGE?!?! Seriously… this was AMAZING!
And yes I am going to keep coloring every day if not every other day!
Hahahaha I LOVE you’re enthusiasm!!! It will be here before we all know it!
Wow!!! Thanks for this AMAZING month full of inspiration!!! Stunning projects today!!!
Oh yes, sure! I’m certainly going to keep practising my colouring!!!
Love these beautiful creations! I will definitely continue coloring and congrats on the completion of your 10th coloring challenge!!!! ❤️
Oh Kathy, thank you so much for what you bring to the community. I’ve never participated in the 30 day challenge before and I am just so happy with the joy it brought. I have a renewed creative energy and love for marker colouring that I had lost at some point. I will definitely keep colouring. Maybe not every day but more than I used to! And love the rocks!
Yay Natasha – I’m proud of you for finishing your first challenge! Congrats! Also, WELCOME!!! Thanks for joining our awesome community! Happy coloring!
Thank YOU for organizing these 30-day challenges. I look forward to them because is so inspiring for so many to share in this effort. This was a totally busy month for me with travel, graduations, showers, and weddings, so I didn’t accomplish all I wanted. I didn’t get to finish many projects, but I always do a bit of coloring every day. For sure I will always be coloring something every day. Looking forward to seeing you on your Road Trip.
Yahoo – glad you’re coming to one of the road trip events! Happy coloring and thank you for participating !
Fabulous! Never thought about rocks! Yes I will keep coloring, I have learned alot (need to practice more) from you during these challenges!!
Great way to use the colored images. Yes I plan on continuing with my coloring when I can.
Oh, I love the Kindness Rocks…I really MUST do one (or two)!! Thanks so much for the awesome challenge this month!
This challenge has been so amazing and I intend to keep on trying to colour everyday. It has been so enjoyable and I’ve loved every second.
Your rocks are brilliant and it brought back memories of doing this as a child.
Julie that makes me so happy you enjoyed the challenge so much! Thanks for playing along!!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the past 30 days coloring! I’ve reached for mediums that have had love in quite a while. I’ve also took this time to experiment-and had a great time doing it. Thank you for hosting this much loved challenge and spreading love! Yes, I will continue to color!!!
Yay this is awesome Beverly!!!
I am definitely going to keep coloring. Been doing it for nearly 60 years and find is as fun and calming now as I did when I was three! Thanks for hosting this fun event. I didn’t participate everyday… but did get some coloring added!
Yes, I will definitely keep coloring! Thanks for all the inspiration this month!
I am definitely going to keep coloring. Thank you for all your inspiration and all the time you put into the 30 day coloring challenge.
You have been an inspiration to me this last month, Kathy – I will definitely keep coloring
Yes, I love to color and I will certainly continue! Thanks, Kathy for hosting this challenge, it is a wonderful way to connect with the community of colorists. Thanks for all your inspiration too!
I am so sad that this challenge is ending! Though I didn’t post any pics, I had a great time checking the blog regularly. I am definitely going to keep colouring and more importantly find time every day. And hopefully I will complete the challenge next time.
I love your positive attitude! Happy coloring!
I’ll definitely keep coloring! Thanks for the color challenge and your giveaways!
Coloring is sooooo relaxing and I like to relax! So, yes, I will continue to color.
I will keep coloring. Thank You for the challenge and time it took to keep it going.
Your rocks are beautiful and fun. I love this idea. It would be a wonderful activity to do with my granddaughter, who loves to craft with me. And, yes, I will definitely keep coloring. I find it relaxing and you’ve filled me head with ideas. I love the coloring challenge!
I always keep on coloring…!!!❤️❤️
You’ve been here since the beginning !!! Thank you, Carol!
Not ready for the month to end. I’m absolutely staying coloring. We have NKY Rocks in our area and it is so fun.
Last day of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. It has gone so quickly, it seems that is goes faster each time.
Last day of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. It has gone so quickly, it seems that is goes faster each time.

Thanks Patricia, Tracy, Pepita, Carol, Janelle, Jean, Cheryl, Kristina, Barb, Sharla, Barbara , Ruby and Patti for all the support on FB and Instagram

You are welcome, Iloved every day of it, hugs to you to.
I do plan to keep coloring. I can see improvement and it relaxes me,.
Your rocks are so awesome and fun and pretty. I love the sweet mermaid monkeys, so stinkin’ adorable! And the birdies; always love the birdies. We have a few painted rocks in our garden that my nieces painted awhile back. Well, I didn’t get to participate much in this challenge … again! But I did manage to get some coloring done and yes, I will certainly continue. 🙂 Thank you and all the ladies, for all you do for our awesome crafty community.
Yes I am going to continue coloring. I just got some new stamps.
I will continue coloring but maybe not everyday. I am definitely much better at blending! Kathy, thank you for all your hints and encouragement! I posted my pics on FB and I want to thank all of those lovely people!
Thanks for playing along Sharon and again, I’m sorry for not being more active on FB. It’s hard for me to keep up with everything!!! I’m happy you’ve played along and enjoyed! Happy coloring!
What fun! Love the cute rocks!
I do plan to keep coloring! I look forward to learning lots more about coloring! Thanks for your 30 Day Coloring Challenge!
I absolutely would never stop coloring, it brings peace and calm to my soul like prayer does!
Yes, yes, yes to keep on coloring!
We love painting And sharing Rocks here in The DFW area as well. Super cuteness! And thanks for yet another awesome coloring challenge!
You rock, Kathy! Yes, coloring on and on and on and forever! Thanks, Kathy for the inspiration and encouragement! The 30 days went by so fast!
This was my first coloring challenge and I had so much fun. I found so many new IG friends and believe I can do so much better with daily practice. Thanks for sharing your passion and setting up this platform for everyone to join. And YESSS…. I will keep coloring.
WELCOME!!! Congratulations on finishing your first challenge! I’m so happy you found my challenge and my blog, and played along with us! Happy coloring!
Are you kidding, Kathy? LOL I THRIVE ON creating & when I create, I seem to HAVE TO COLOR my images! I LOOK FOR images to color! I find it sad when all I can find in images are those that are stamp only. It seems more companies are going that route. It IS ALL ABOUT the coloring FOR ME! 😉 THANK GOODNESS, my birthday is coming & I will order some new images I’ve found that will HAVE TO BE colored AND some NEW COLORED PENCILS TOO!!!! I am wondering WHAT ELSE would be fun to play with ? In regards to mediums. But, I also wanted to let you know, your rocks are SO PROFESSIONAL LOOKING! (I know, how do “rocks” look “professional?” LOL ) They look like something you’d find in a gift store! SO NICE! LOVE the shinny layer you’ve given them too!!! My favorite is the gold & black one with the vintage button! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Kathy!!! AND THANK YOU AGAIN for such a FUN MONTH of coloring & creating!!! 😉 Now, you might find time for one of those Hot Stone Massages now! 😉 (((HUGS))) Dear Lady!!! <3
Aweee, you’re so sweet Becky! Big hugs!
Absolutely AWESOME decorated rocks, Thanks for the video! I especially loved the birds and the gold and black flower rocks!
What a genius idea!!! My grands are totally into the rocks (we call them Richmond rocks, here), so this would be a perfect project for them. OF COURSE I plan to keep coloring. I need it to keep sane. I was missing some of my packed away supplies, so I couldn’t resist a pack of colored pencils on the mark-down counter at my local grocery. I did not need more colored pencils, but I wasn’t going to pass up a bargain. (I will pass them on once I unpack my own, promise!) Thanks for a perfectly timed 30 day challenge. I so needed the encouragement.
Awe Bev, never feel guilty for buying more coloring tools! Hahaha
I’m still .goi g to try to keep coloring. I just don’t know,where the time goes some day though!!
BTW, Adorable rocks !
Oh Kathy, thank YOU for hosting this awesome challenge! You have changed the crafty world, in an awesome way!
I most definitely will continue coloring! I color most days even without the challenge! Hope you get some rest! Many hugs!!
I hadn’t heard about Kindness Rocks, but it sounds like a really fun project 🙂 Your rocks are so cool! Thank you for all of your inspiration this month. I didn’t have a chance for daily coloring this month, but I definitely plan to keep coloring! Hopefully it will help me participate more in your next challenge 🙂
Yes, I am going to keep coloring! Loved everyday of the coloring challenge. Thanks Kathy for sharing your wonderful talent.
Yes I will keep coloring!
Have some family stuff to attend to in the next few weeks, but after that plan to make the time to color 10 minutes a day so I can fully participate in next year’s challenge. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Of course I’m going to keep coloring silly girl! I even spent last evening in front of the TV sharpening my pencils, this month has been hard on them! You are rocking the rocks lady, love what you did. I still have to post some of what I made, and also need to assemble more cards, have to finish my Mom’s set of cards I give her every year.
I will definitely keep coloring! Thanks for the class.
Beautiful and fun rocks! What a cool idea, how fun to find a sweet treasure like one of these rocks. Coloring will always be a part of my creating, practice makes perfect (or at least better).
The 30 day event has been fun and educational. Thank you! Now that coloring is a part of my life that brings me joy I will continue on. Looking forward to more experiments with combining gel pens, pencils and markers.
SQUEAL!! LOVED LOVED LOVED being a part of ALL of the FUN this Month!! CONGRATS on another AMAZING Coloring Challenge!! I ENJOY ALL of the inspiration and support!! I WILL TOTALLY continue to color!! It’s in my Blood!! THANKS for EVERYTHING and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND and 4th of July Week/Holiday ahead!! <3 <3 <3
I was not able to participate this month but I would love to colour more than I do at the moment 🙂
Thank you so much, Kathy, for organising this challenge! It’s amazing for all of us, from the joys of creating and improving, through the great community, and all the way to making new crafty friends. Oh, and let’s not forget the generous giveaways, too – always a great addition 😉 I am happy to say that I have finally succeeded in colouring something every single day! I don’t want to stop but I’ll need to for a while, as we’re going away on vacation (and with 2 small kids I have enough on my hands + enough stuff to take lol), but I’ll be back to it for sure the second we come back! I’ll miss my crafty desk for sure!
What a delightful colouring journey this has been with lots of new ideas and techniques to keep us all going. How great of Altenew to offer such a prize and YES I will continue with my colouring projects.
Thank you so much for the last month!
I am going to continue to color whenever I get a chance to. I just bought some color pencils to try that medium. I usually watercolor or use jell pens.
Awww Kathy, thank you for the fun and for all of your support and kind words. It was so much fun! Thank You! I will definitely will continue the coloring, and get some me time everyday! xoxo
Thanks for all the inspiration and definitely, yes – I WILL KEEP COLORING!!!!!!!!!
These are beautiful. My grandson’s mom is in a rock finding/stashing group, she loves it!
Yes, I am going to continue coloring as it is a great anxiety/stress reducer and I need it very much right now. Thanks for all you do in bringing us these challenges.
What a great and adorable idea, love the rocks! Thanks for another wonderful and inspiring colouring challenge! I will keep colouring, but probably not daily.
I’d don’t join in or usually even comment, but I do try to color every day a little bit. Usually some piece that I willl eventually put onto a card. I love it. It’s what retirement is all about! And it’s fun.
And I do love to check our your projects (and some of those submitted). My coloring isn’t up to par with many of them but I do try. and it has improved somewhat.
Of course I will keep on colouring as much as I can! Thank you for this challenge, it was fun!
Have to go rock hunting.
Clever idea and they will look great in the garden.
Enjoyed the month – even though I didn’t post
anything. Did do some coloring and feel good
about what I’ve done. Thanks for a
fantastic month. txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com
Thank you for all of the inspiration! I have painted rocks and left them for others to find! It has been a great month! I plan to continue coloring, painting, etc.
I love he idea of decoupage on rocks!!!! I will continue to get better with coloring with some copics and pencils.
Yes, I will keep coloring. Now it looks like I will be coloring on rocks too, lol.
Love to color, make cards, play in my art journal. I try to create something at least 3-4 times a week. Love the 30-day challenges. Have fun at HA.
Yes, I will absolutely keep coloring! Thank you so much for the continued inspiration & motivation!
I have to keep coloring, Kathy. That’s what keeps me sane 🙂 Thanks again for another awesome coloring challenge. I must say that I found Facebook much easier to comment on. Instagram really doesn’t like for you to comment using a computer and shuts you down after 10 or so comments. It works fine on an iPad, but my double vision really kicks in after a couple of hours on it.
My coloring therapy will always be a part of my life
I like colouring…andI I will continue!
Dear Kathy, thank you very much for this great challenge. I am so sad that it is over, it has given me so much joy and I really want to continue painting. I’ll miss your comments and your hearts. Thank you very much.
I will definitely still keep coloring. I love coloring. oh yeah I love painting on rocks, too.
I am inspired and will keep coloring! Love your challenge. Maybe on the next one I will feel confident enough to post something!
Kathy, I’ve had the most wonderful 30 days, apart from an unplanned emergancy hospital stay I’ve joined in every day & even been on fb to see others work & spread the love. Your challenge has reminded me why I fell in love with art in the first place, my work on day one looked very ropey but by last night I was starting to like some of the images I was creating, still not confident to share, maybe next year. Thank you so much for everything you put into these 30 days & I look forward so so much to next year x I’m off to carry on my ten minutes at least every day, it’s been better than physiotherapy & therapy x
Kathy, you are a true inspiration & I love reading your blog. I love your fabulous rocks! Hadn’t thought of decoupage for them so will be playing with that this afternoon. Thank you for sharing all your glorious creations!
Yes, I am going to keep on colouring. Just purchased a set of FC Polychromos and L.O.V.E them! Thank for yet again a wonderful month of colouring. This time I managed to squeese in 10 days out of 30 – not what I hoped for, but still its better then none at all
Love these rocks–thanks for experimenting for us. Yes I plan to keep on coloring.
Yes, I will keep coloring. Coloring the world with brightness….one piece of paper at a time.
I will definitely continue to colour! Will probably incorporate a lot from the challenge into other projects I’m working on. Your découpage and gold painted rocks look fabulous. I’m going to try those techniques for sure. Also following thekindnessrocksprojectnow. Thanks Kathy
for sure! I’m fortunate to do it as part of my daily routine 🙂
Such a great idea, and a cool project to make with kids too
I love colouring, so definitely I will be continuing!
What a fantastic way to end this challenge! I love the idea of these rocks but I think I need a video to see how you do this. I didn’t get slot of coloring done but I’ll keep trying! Thank you so much for all your efforts. You are rock solid!
Thanks Kathy!!! I will keep coloring!! I only made it 14 out of the 30, but better than my 1 of 30 last time. These rocks are sooooo Fun!!! A big thanks to Altenew too for their generosity!!!
Such beautiful rocks. Love all of them!
I’m definitely going to continue coloring!
Thank you Kathy for hosting this challenge, for your inspiration and your daily support.
Fun rocks, Kathy! I haven’t been colouring as much as I wanted, but i do intend to continue my pencil colouring classes with Kit and Clowder.
Thanks for always inspiring and encouraging us!

It was amazing mounth) I’m going to keep coloring) Maybe I’ll try something new for me)
It has been an amazing 30 days. This is the first time that I have had the opportunity to learn how to colour . It is not something that I had ever tried , but now hooked and will continue doing it. Thanks for all the information and assistance you have given . The grandchildren here in New Zealand often participate in putting little rocks out, so I will now help themmm
Hi Kathy
I’ve enjoyed seeing all your creations in the challenge even though I haven’t had time to post pics at all.I’m definitely going to keep colouring,it’s so relaxing and it’s great to have something stamped and coloured already when I have time to make a card.Thanks for your inspiration.xx
Love your rocks Kathy! I used to paint rocks many moons ago – my all time favourite one was one I painted black and then just added some evil eyes. Simple but so funny!
Thanks for another fab month – I haven’t been able to play as much as I liked, work and life kinda got in the way!
Always coloring!!! I do love the challenges, I try to work on things and try things I don’t normally do. July is World watercolor month, so I’m using that to work on my watercoloring skills. I got to follow lots of new crafty friends through the challenge. I cant wait for the next one.
Hooray!!!! Thank you for sharing a month full of gorgeous posts, I enjoyed every single one of them, they are simply delightful! Of course, keep coloring!!!!
So cute and practical too! I’ll definitely keep coloring. I’m hooked!
I got started with coloring, then things happened. I do try to color whenever I can. I have few pieces, I will look into turning them into rocks. I hope to continue finding time to color, thank u for all your inspiration.
I absolutely WILL keep coloring…everyday if possible!
Your rocks are ROCK!!!!
Painting on rocks is one of Summer projects with my daughters.
Thank you for sharing about the The Kindness Rocks Project. For sure I will check on this.
Kathy, you inspire us to keep coloring! I certainly need the practice. Thank you for coordinating these challenges and for helping us strive to be better.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ROCKS! I especially LOVE the Monkey Mermaid one! They are just so precious!
OOOOPS! I forgot to say that I am going to keep on coloring!
What a fun idea! I have heard of leaving rocks to be found, but never thought about using my card making images on them!
I have done a few days here and there in past challenges – but this is my very first one where I colored every day!!! I appreciated all the comments from you and the team on Instagram. Thanks for doing this challenge!
I will continue to color, you have been a great inspiration for me.
well, of course, i’m going to keep coloring – i don’t always get cards posted that i’ve colored but actually do a lot of it – thanks for another fun month, Kathy!
I will keep coloring. Thanks for all your hard work doing these challenges.
Yes! I will keep coloring. It is on my list for this evening. Thank you so much for the inspiration. The daily reminder really motivated me to color, even if I could only get 5-10 minutes in.
I have enjoyed this challenge even though I didn’t get to participate like I would have liked to. I did take the time to few many of the talented cardmakers with comments and took away some inspiring ideas from this challenge. I hope schedules will permit us meeting at one of your road trip locations. Hoping someone in the south near me will sponsor a coloring day with you Kathy. Great job everyone. Continue sharing the kindness through your coloring and crafting. 🙂
Yes I am going to keep on coloring! I so appreciate all your love and commenting on IG each Day! It must be overwhelming because I try to myself and feel exhausted!! Thank you so
much to you Kathy and all the ambassadors to put this on!! I am very grateful and appreciative of your hard work and love to do this for us!
Oh yes, I will keep coloring! I have 1 set of Altenew alcohol markers and they ROCK!!!!! (pun intended with this post 🙂
Check out. Mandala rocks on the internet. I am dieing to tr6 it. I think you would love it!
Ok, life has been a little hectic, but I hope to squeeze in coloring now and then
My plan is to colour Every Day, but life will ultimately get in the way at some point, but I love these coloured rocks! Very nice!
Yes, I am going to keep coloring! And now have a good start to making the images into cards!
Thank you for the inspiration to do this! I loved seeing what everyone colored & all were beautiful! So many talented people & companies!
Thank YOU Kathy for being such an inspiring hostess! I’m definitely going to keep coloring and look forward to the next coloring challenge.
Kathy,
I like to say congratulations on completing your 10th 30 Day Coloring Challenge!!!
You are so talented and I have learn so much from you !! I looked forward to your post everyday to see what you decided to color for that day! An example was today with the rocks I love the fact that their are groups that leave rocks for people to find after they decorate them in various ways. I love your mermaid monkeys & have this
on my mermaid list to purchase!!! I love to coloring/ painting cards, stamp & various other items and sometimes I just like to play what I call doodle with pens/markers or crayons on paper!! Enjoy your summer!!
I will definitely keep coloring. 🙂
Thank you Kathy! It was such amazing 30 days and yes it really feels like the holidays are over. I will miss daily interaction with all wonderful crafters that were participating. I am definitely going to continue coloring :)) my coloring has improved and it has such a calming effect on me. Thank you again for putting this together, it was so much fun!
Thank you for this amazing challenge … I didn’t do all 30 days but I did more than 20 – and that’s way more than I normally do.
Yes, I’ll keep colouring for sure!
I will always color! It makes me calm and puts joy in my heart! Love the rock idea. I have a stash of rocks just waiting for inspiration!
I am crying because the coloring challenge is over! I swear, the older I get the faster the days seem to go. I know you can say the same. I have been making birthday cards for relatives and friends and a thinking of you card for my aunt who lost her hubby a few months ago. Lots of coloring involved for sure. I think I am getting so much better at my coloring and I have you and God to thank for that.
Will I give up coloring? Let’s see. I gave it up when I turned 10 or 12 because they didn’t make coloring books for kids my age but I did get to color in grade school in art. Im high school I took 4 years of art so I got to color again. Im 1981 I bought my first adult coloring book and I have been coloring ever since. I don’t plan to give it up any time soon. I love to do it way to much to ever give it up.
I cam’t wait for the next coloring challenge! I will be waiting with batted breath and my gel pens and pencils and all my other coloring supplies.
One more question before I go. Where did you get your rocks? My sister wants some Mandela rocks and I would do them for her if I knew where to get some rocks. I love yours! Do you have to Mod Podge them so if it rains the paint won’t run? They are just so cool! My sister wants some for her garden and I’d like some too. Please tell me where you got them!
For sure I will keep coloring. I love it coloring and learning.
I love the idea of the rocks. I will have to give this a try. Looks like fun and if it doesn’t turn out all that great.. ok it can go in my secret garden off my deck that I can still view and enjoy.
Thanks for having the color challenge.. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks to your team for helping you out.
Thanks for another amazing challenge Kathy, I’m proud to say that I did color EVERY single day even if only for a few minutes on those very busy days. This is the first challenge that I made it everyday. Also, thank you for the honor of being part of the goodwill ambassadors and for the chance to be inspired by yourself and so many in this wonderful community!! 😀
Absolutely I will keep coloring! This is so much fun, even though my vacation got in the way of posting, I actually kept up with the coloring pretty well. And I got to do it with my nieces, which makes it that much better. Thank you for everything you and all of the companies and your behind the scenes helpers have done! Have a wonderful sleep!
Pet rock flashback…..love these. These are definitely so much better now.
I do plan on continuing to color.
Thank you, Kathy for all the hard work you put into this challenge. You are awesome ♥♥
Thank you for all of the amazing inspiration and enthusiasm for coloring with so many different mediums. You are a true ambassador of trying new coloring techniques! I wasn’t able to participate as much as I wanted, but YES, I will keep coloring!
OF COURSE I’m going to keep coloring! So much inspiration!
I love to color. Yes, yes, yes to coloring!
Wow, it’s the last day and I didn’t get to color as much as I wanted but I’m happy to have participated some of the time! It was fun and I enjoyed all your inspiring projects! Thanks so much!
It was such a great experience to color every day and post it on instagram and that hype and motivation I felt, when somebody commented or liked the picture! I will miss it very much! Thank you for that superb opportunity! I will for sure join this challenge next year again!
I’ve painted rocks for years… usually animal rocks! Yes, I will keep on coloring…. forever!
Albert Einstein said, “Creativity is contagious, pass it on”…. and I hope, Kathy, you realize what you’ve done for all of us in this beautiful, creative community! I promise to keep on coloring ❤️
Thank you Kathy for sharing a great concept and thanks Altenew for a great giveaway
To answer the question….YES….i intend to have a pile of stamped images and colours i can take on the go.
This challenge was a great excuse to do something during my lunch breaks at work and a fantastic conversation piece as well…
Thanks so much Kathy I have enjoyed your challenge…most of what I made were turned into cards. I belong to our local rock exchange in Cass County Missouri but haven’t made any rocks yet. Cannot find where to get the smooth rocks here. Love your work and your kindness in sharing with us all.
You have definitely inspired me to continue my colouring (maybe not everyday but as often as I can). I’ve enjoyed pushing myself to make time to enjoy creating and can’t wait to make cards out of all the images I now have ready. I am a little behind with sharing my last feed days due to my dad being hospitalised and a weekend away with my hubby to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary but I’ll catch up when I get home. Thank you for all your hard work and for an amazing challenge. I can’t wait for next year ❤️
Dear Kathy, thank you so much for making my life so colorful! I enjoyed participating in your challenge a lot and I wanna try to be creative every day, even if it is just 10 minutes 🙂
Can’t wait for the next dailymarker30day challenge.
Yes! Me and the kids are going to keep coloring!
30 days has gone by so quickly, but I have enjoyed coloring as well as seeing what you and others are coloring. There are so many people out there that inspire me! thank you so much for fostering this wonderful community.
I am definitely going to keep coloring and creating Kathy. You have truly inspired me. I didn’t post every day, but once a project was completed. Would you still wang to us to post to the challenge even though it has come to an end since it is the reason I’m going to keep it up as long as possible? Kathy. You are incredibly awesome and appreciated for all you do for this community.
This is the first time I have enjoyed your 30 days of coloring. I don’t color every day but I watch you and others . You are an inspiration and I have learned so much. I have never used alcohol markers but I use colored pencils and a little water color. Thank you for sharing your love and encouragement.
Coloring is one of the most relaxing things I do and I have enjoyed your videos and have learned a lot of new things to try.
Congrats to another amazing 30 day coloring challenge! These challenges (and YOU in general Kathy!) are such an inspiration! I will continue coloring past the official challenge now – I’ve stamped way more pieces than I colored during the challenge and they aren’t going to color themselves, lol! Thanks again for sharing your wonderful, colorful world!
Yes, I plan to keep coloring. Thank you for the challenge and it was good to meet you yesterday at Hero Arts!
I will definitely continue. This is the first time I have joined the challenge and I have loved joining in and seeing all the inspiration. I love being part of this amazing crafting community.
Thank you for all your hard work to make this happen and to everyone involved.
I have had so much fun this month. Thanks for doing this challenge Kathy. I will always color. I wish it could be everyday but of course there is life and other crafts to keep up with 🙂
Yes – definitely! Going on a cross county move trip and will be living in travel trailer until finding a house. Perfect activity to keep relaxed and creativity flowing
Even though I didn’t join in on this 30 day coloring challenge, I have enjoyed all the inspiration from seeing your posts. Thanks for encouraging us all to keep up our skills. I plan to keep coloring as long as I have eyesight, hand control and life. 😀
These projects are so fun. I didn’t get to colour every day and I hope to be able to participate more in the next challenge. I will continue to colour as often as I can. Thank you for the lovely inspiration throughout the 30 days.
Thanks for this great 30 days! I will probably take this week off of crafting since my cousin will be visiting with her 4 kids. Love these kindness rocks…great idea to include the images you coloured.
This is such a fun idea! Yes, I will definitely keep on with colouring.
We Love the ” Kindness Rocks” and have our very own community that paints and hides her locally. They are called the “Glosta Rocks” and they have their own FB Page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/355663458198149/ I’m so happy to see that this has spread all round the country. It’s such a wonderful idea and reminds me of Jennifer and her Kindness Cards. Your rocks are stunning!!!
I didn’t get to color everyday or post what I did color because my mom was visiting but I still plan to color!! I have plenty to color! LOL!!
You are a Great inspiration..i could watch you all day and have..
I took the copic coloring class on online card classes and after putting my markers away for 6 plus years due to depression..im happy to say there out again and im happily coloring again so defiantly i will keep coloring .

Hugs
I love your decorated rocks Kathy! I will definitely keep coloring. I love to watercolor, use My Zig Kuretake Clean Color markers or Prismas and gamsol. I’m still learning, practicing with Copic markers.
Of course I’m gonna keep on coloring ! And these rocks rock !!

I’ve loved every minute of it and so proud I coloured every single day of June!! Definitely will keep colouring and have learned a lot, so thank you for all your encouragement!!!
Thank you Kathy (and all your angels) for your hard work and inspiration. After joining this challenge, i realised that i would love to color more using various mediums, challenge myself to grow while learning from others
I’m going to try and keep coloring, it’s hard to find some time to do it!
I always keep coloring. Well, I try to. It keeps me sane. ha-ha Cute rocks.
I love coloring and will continue for maybe lifelong…thanks for all the motivation this month long…Loved the rocks!!
I didn’t get much entered, but at least I did a bit & plan to color more. In fact, I just posted a card I colored with my Zigs! Thanks for continuing the coloring challenge with all the inspiration & prizes!
I had to take a break due to family issues, but I hope to continue coloring as I can after gardening and other duties.
I need to keep coloring because I am just not good at it and I still want to be
Computer ate the first comment, will try again. YES, I’ll def. keep coloring I love to color and to create backgrounds It was fun to see what everyone was working on. I didn’t get anything posted (real pain the way I have to do it) but it’s sure fun to see other folks creations. I did get a lot of coloring in, now just need to turn ’em into cards. Thanks for all that you do to keep the Coloring Challenge open and running. Bet you didn’t think it would turn into THE COLORING CHALLANGE when you started, did you?
Of course! Will do as much as time permits. I could not finish this last week as most of my supplies were packed as I’m getting ready for a move. Nonetheless, I really enjoy these challenges. Thank you for all your inspiration and encouragement
I will absolutely keep coloring. Thank you for all the help and tips. You are truly generous with your time and talent.
WOW Kathy these rocks are gorgeous! Such a neat idea!!! I have always wanted to color or paint rocks but never got around to doing it. I think now I will try! I love these!!!! And of course I will continue coloring! LOL… i cannot imagine my life without it!
Hope you have a very happy July 4th!
Hugs,
Jo in Jersey
Wow, I love the sequined rock! Yes, I’m going to keep colouring!
Of course I will keep coloring! Just a few minutes in the morning & I already have a smile on my face before anyone else gets up.
of course Im gonna keep coloring
The rocks look beautiful!! Love the happy smiling one!
Although I couldn’t complete the challenge but I really enjoyed watching everybody’s coloring , I will try to keep coloring and gain more experience to participate in the next challenge. Thanks for your inspiration and your kindness.
I will defintely keep coloring, as it is a love. I thank you for the challenge, it was my first time participating, and really enjoyed it so thanks.
Of course I’ll keep colouring! I’ve been colouring for most of my life! It’s so fun!
yes yes YES i will keep coloring.
i so get the not going on FB. turns out i am very good at coloring every day and not very good at posting it every day. Introverts UNITE!! We’re here! We’re uncomfortable and we want to color in peace!!
As a result of this challenge, I have started my own blog. I took a Copic Coloring class. I got a COMPLETE set of prismacolor pencils that i have fallen in love with – hubby says it’s probably the best $85.00 he ever spent (i Love Amazon – now if he would just buy me the polychromos, we’d be all set). I signed up for the Road Trip in Eustis FL in September.
I am branching out.
Thank you for pushing me to stretch my limits and try new things.
Yes, I will keep coloring. I have made a small travel case with a few images that I carry in my car for whenever I have a few minutes to color. It is very relaxing, thank you for inspiring me to create more.
It has been fun watching all the coloring – I do coloring but maybe not everyday 🙂
