Hello Friends, Happy holidays!! I hope your holidays were full of love and blessings. My intention wasn’t to take a little time off the blog but, I kinda got swept up into the magi of the season …. rather trying to make Christmas Eve a magical one for our family. (Every year we host a sit down dinner …our family with cousins, grandparents etc is about 20 and I prefer to do all the cooking plus everything else the holidays bring 🙂
Today is all about wrapping up the last 30 Day Coloring Challenge and announcing the next 30 Day. Please mark your calendar for February 1. I hope you will join in again and if you have been tip toeing around the coloring challenge I hope you will considering joining this go around 🙂
Below is all of the projects for the last coloring challenge. There is a tab on my blog where you can find all of the coloring challenges in one place. If you have no idea what the coloring challenge is about click here.
I hope to be back soon and I am grateful for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

Yay for another colouring challenge! I got Prismacolour Premier pencils from Santa so I’m well stocked up on colouring mediums now!
Kathy do you have a post on your most used Copic marker colours? I’m trying to get them on sale when I can. I’d like to pick up ones I’ll use the most first. I know I’m going to need a blender refill! Thanks.

Kathy, I hope your Christmas was all you hoped for and cant wait for the next colouring challenge to start. Already marked in the calander.

A month of absolutely beautiful and inspiring projects Kathy!
Gail Plaskiewicz says
I love how you do that, put all your cards in one e-mail and how to do them. Now I can just refer to this one e-mail and not all those other ones. Each card is better then the last one! I did something so dumb and Jen is going to realize how dumb it is. I get blogs from you and Jennifer and I am always getting both of you confused. You do the coloring challenge and I won something from you, not Jen. However, tonight I thanked Jen for what I won and told her things I should have told you. I am going to go back on her site and copy and paste what I wrote so you can see it, since it was supposed to be for you. Sometimes I think I’d loose my head if it wasn’t attached! LOL What day is it anyway? LOL
Oh yeah, I can’t wait for the next coloring challenge. I am ready and waiting!
Kathy Racoosin says
lol don’t worry about going back and looking for your comment. Your constant support is giving me thanks every time you visit!!! grateful for you! Hugs
Gail Plaskiewicz says
Check your mailbox, Jen! Because of the amazing stuff I won from you, I have your addy so I can send you some cards. You are one of the 2 I have to send to. I’m even going to write you a note in with the card. Since I won something from you and since you sent me all those beautiful cards I had to make something very special for you. I feel so blessed to know you and to be able to view your blog. I I even love doing the coloring that you do for 30 days. Thank you for everything that you do for all of us crafters and card makers. My life feels so enriched just knowing you.
Substitute your name for Jennifer’s and watch your mailbox.
Do you know what I found today? My first adult coloring books from 1981, at least that’s the copyright in the books. I will send you scans of the pictures I’ve done. So for me, coloring is not a new thing, I’ve been doing it forever!
Dawn~DesignsByDragonfly says
I’ll be there. I’m going to try and play along each day. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful projects.
Crafty hugs,
