Hello Friends!! How are you today? I thought I would pop in to share the logo for the 4th coloring challenge. Woo Hoo! I am super excited that “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is almost here. I also have a GIVEAWAY and I want to share how I am getting organized 🙂
The last three challenges I used a fabric container that was more portable (you can see the video here) but, I wanted to mix things up this time with this Raskog cart from Ikea.
If you are experiencing marker envy please keep in mind that I have been collecting my markers for 7 years. If you need to fill in some Copic Markers or need refills they are on sale at Simon for 25% off until Feb 1st. Use CODE “COPIC”
Check out these color choices. I purchased a few of the containers from Ikea that fit in the cart but, I will use them someplace else. Not in love with them.
I like the idea of wheeling my supplies around & the best part is I won’t be taking up any counter space. Finally I am satisfied with my storage system and it’s because of these containers from The Container Store. I have to give a shout out to Joy Ott for finding these little gems and sharing her on Instagram.
I shared this photo on my Instagram with descriptions except for the lower shelf. The lower shelf contains watercolor paper, distress markers (they need to lay flat), watercolor sets, a palette and some tapes. I am hoping to do a video on my cart but, I have been delayed with all the snow on the east coast and can’t get home. Are you subscribed to my YouTube channel? Generally you will see the video’s before they are released on my blog 🙂
THE GIVEAWAY is.… a goodie bag chock full of stamps over a $50.00 value. All you need to do to qualify to win is ….
help me spread the word about the challenge. Each time you post the graphic on your blog OR FaceBook OR invite your friends you can enter to win. Just leave a comment letting me know where you shared. You don’t need to give me the link. I want this to be easy for you. A random winner will be announced on Feb. 1st.
If you are interested in my essential supplies I have listed them below. The absolute top five are:
- This super fine marker (on sale now) that I use for detail. (Use “Copic” at checkout.)
- Copic various ink. It’s a must have and great for adding texture…I suggest you pick it up while it’s on sale. (Use “Copic” at checkout.)
- White gel pen… I don’t leave home without it.
- Fine tip sharpie I use daily.
- This MINI Memento black ink perfect for copic markers. Since I mentioned ink you might want to refill your black inks. Once you do you will wonder why you waited so long.
Below is more of my essential supplies and my top 6 Copic colors. The blending trios are a good way to get started.
Thank YOU if you have already shared on Instagam and the enthusiasm you are creating about the challenge it warms my heart and gets me even more excited.
If you are experiencing lots of snow or flooding I hope you are safe and cozy and may everyone power stay on! Have a great day and thanks for your visit and your support! Big hugs, Kathy

Day 13. video w/stencil dots & copic giveaway
I will spread the word to my scrappy friends today at the local crop.
I love the Råskog, but I thunk it’s so expensive. Here in Sweden it costs almost $60. $29.95 is a bargain.
oh no!! that stinks!! thanks for spreading the work Anna. 🙂
Here in Russia this cart costs more than 50$ and it stops me from buying it 🙁
I ‘m so happy you start the challenge soon again, love it very much!
Olesya.
Yay so happy you are excited Olesya! Thanks:)
ooooohhh…your cart looks FABulous!
Your card looks AWESOME! I am new to your coloring challenge and I am hoping to play along for all 30 days!!!
Good Sunday Morning from snowy VA! I shared on my Instagram which is also linked to my FB.
I am sharing it with my local friends. I just announced that I am doing this on my creativity blog. https://playingwithoutlimits.wordpress.com/ I plan to post there daily and do some twitter posts and instagram as well.
This is a first for me so we will see how it goes.
Thanks for sharing Diana but, more importantly that you are taking the challenge. Yay 🙂
Fantastic cart!
Pinned the logo here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/309692911856868077/
And emailing the info to my friends Sharon, Qyhat and Andrea. All fellow crafters.
Looking forward to the challenge Kathy!
Thanks for sharing your organization and supplies tips! I will be telling my crafty friends. 😉
That looks awesome Kathy! I also use the Raskog cart as a colouring station and I love having everything in one place (although my Copics are in a storage system that sits on my desk). Those fabric bins are awesome, and I haven’t seen anything like them in Australia so I may have to order some online. Can’t wait for the challenge to start! Off to share your new logo on my FB page 🙂
Can you tell how much I LOVE those fabric bins. Glad you are excited for the challenge. 🙂
Looking forward to the next challenge and I’ve been wanting one of those Raskog Carts for a while now! My hubby says that I don’t need one! WHAT?!?!?!?!
Awww Carolyn…maybe if you show him mine lol. Maybe keep all your stuff on the kitchen table for a few weeks then he might change his mind lol. Glad you are looking forward to the challenge. 🙂
I have the cart just like that, that I got at Sam’s for $15 and works great. But I do like those fabric bins. Will have to see about making me some round ones. Thanks Kathy.
I also got my similar Raskog cart at Sam’s Club last year. I keep my Cuttlebug and plates , my box of acrylic blocks, the scrubbie pad on the top shelf, the remainder shelves are for my Spectrum Noir watercolor pens, 5 boxes of SN pencils, and all the SN alcohol markers , blender pens, and blender stumps and fluid. This cart the most useful piece of equipment I have in my scrap room other than my Scrap Rack!
Sounds like your cart is all ready to go. Thanks for sharing what’s inside 🙂
That’s a sweet deal!! 🙂
I posted the graphic to Facebook and just so you know, I am now experiencing organization envy. Kudos on finding a system that works for you.
Awww September thanks for the chuckle. 🙂
LOL, I AM experiencing “Copic” envy but I do realize you have been collecting longer than I. I have only started in the past 6 months and have 24 already! With my budget, its going to be slow but I am working on it. Thank you for giving your 6 favs. I am planning to get more before the 1st so those (I hope) will be it. Our only place to get them is Michael’s and they only have what comes in, they can’t seem to order anything specific:(
Thanks for all the tips and stay safe! Can’t wait til Feb 1st…
Teresa that’s a great start and you can really stretch them by doing tip to tip etc. Happy you are excited for Feb.1 ! 🙂
LOVE the Raskog carts, and yours looks fabulous with the cloth bins – and so very organized. Thank you for doing another 30 day challenge 🙂
Awww thanks Janet 🙂
I have the same color cart as you do. It matches my craft room colors. Love, love it! I wish I had an IKEA closer to me but sadly the closest one is 4 hours away
I will give a shout out about this on my Facebook page. Thanks for the giveaway
These are such great ideas!! I shared the challenge details on my Facebook page 🙂
I spread the word on my Twitter, I love the Rasgok car but here in Peru it cost like $60 I wish we have it for $30 and use the other $30 buying craft supplies lol.
Andrea it used to cost 60….I think that’s what I paid…I love it that much lol. Thanks for spreading the word.
Your cart is AWESOME!! I have been drooling over this cart for a couple years now! Hoping one day it will show up on my doorstep!! No IKEA anywhere in my state and since I can’t travel the 9 hour round trip to go to IKEA is out of the question!
I am planning on being a participant for Ferbruary’s Color Challenge!!! Sharing on FB and IG right now!! I am even going to tweet about it!! See you soon!
Yay Barb so happy you are in for this go round…coloring!! woo Hoo let the coloring begin. 🙂
I don’t know why I didn’t receive any of your blog posts for the last challenge. Guess the www had a little hiccup and lost my address for a time! LOL Glad to be in for this one though!
That cart looks fabulous. Thank you for an opportunity to win one.
Shared this post on Facebook.
Yes! I have a cart, the off-white one. I’m an American, but live in Germany. The carts are much more expensive here, about $45-50. 🙁 I shared your post on FB.
I also invited a friend! 🙂
I am sharing on Facebook. I try to get a Copic marker each time I go to Michaels. I use my 50% off coupon so the markers average US$4 each. Michaels accepts coupons from HobbyLobby, JoAnn’s, and ACMoore. Looking forward to the 30 ay challenge!
That’s a great way to build u your collection Dean. Thanks for sharing about the challenge. 🙂
Pick me == PLEASE! Love Love LOVE your wonderful organization. I’ve been “working” on organized my “craft goodies” for weeks now (long process)…and I have three of these wonderful Carts, but NONE of mine are as neat and organized as yours! I LOVE your ideas and plan to put them into use in my space! You are the BEST!! SO blessed to call you my friend!!
Hugs,
Lisa
PS: I was so impressed that I’ve now ordered more carts and also ordered 12 of those wonderful fabric pockets from “The Container Store” I am determined to be MUCH more organized! Love you for sharing this wonderful inspiration! PS: Two weeks from today and I am off to San Diego for 19 fabulous days. Can’t wait to see my son and can’t wit to escape from this cold winter! My friend, Pat (who was with me at CREATE, is also coming out to spend week with me, she also has a son who lives in SD…we plan to shop, visit Seaport Village and of course, Dick Blick…! I don’t’ have one near me, so I go to the one there every time I visit! Hope you’re not buried in snow… I know the storm was really bad, down your way!
Yay to the cards and fabric pockets. Sounds like you have a magical 19 days coming up and so well deserved. Woo Hoo. I missed the pretty part of the snow (like 30″) and I came back to one lane roads and icky black snow lol. Thanks for thinking of me 🙂
Kathy, thank you for doing this again! I shared with friends from work. Can’t wait to get started!!
I”m loving those little cuffed containers. Kathy, I thought dual tipped markers had to be stored horizontally. Do you have any problem with tips drying out when storing them vertically?
Hi Rebecca, I have been storying my markers in the up for years and years. Only my distress markers I lay down. 🙂
Thanks so much for the response, Kathy. Storing my markers vertically will make quite a space-saving difference. Cheers!
Agree 🙂
Great idea! I love the IKEA cart. I MUST get one of these!!! I already have round bins from 31 Bags called Snap bins and they are the exact same size as the Container Store bins( I checked their measurements). And, no I am not a 31 Bags consultant. Just giving the info for people who might already have them. 😀 Thanks for sharing your info with us so that we can get ideas for being more organized, too.
Ahhh I will have to check that out Janet thank YOU 🙂
I shared on Instagram and Facebook. I can’t wait for the challenge to begin.
Yay glad to hear that Claudia 🙂
Cool cart! I shared on IG
Will share on my Facebook and send emails to my friends thanks for the chance to win!
And I posted the graphic on my blog’s sidebar with a link here. Looking forward to it!!
Love your marker cart! I am thinking of getting one. An Ikea is about 90 minutes away from me and I have never been there yet!
Shared on FB!
Ahhh it’s worth the drive. Mine is not quite as far though….60 minutes. Thanks for sharing about the challenge 🙂
What a great way to stay organized! Looks so pretty too. I share over on IG. Hope you get home soon and safe!
A great storage and versatile too. Right now I have items in drawers. It works but I keep looking for alternatives.
I shared on fb, IG and I’m sure I’ll mention on Splitcoast Stampers as well.
Thanks for being so generous. I can’t wait for this one to start.
Thanks Joyce for sharing on Splitcoast etc 🙂
I’m gonna share this because it’s great, but I do have a question about this, I have been told and that the markers you have stored in the cart the Copic, Spectrum Noir, etc must be stored flat not standing up. So are you using this cart for temporary storage or am I wrong about the flat storage? I love this cart and it would be a real space saver if I could do this. Thanks for answering my question.
This isn’t Kathy, but as she is away from home I thought I would jump in and answer what I could for you. Copic markers can be safely stored either horizontally or vertically with no problems. I don’t have Spectrum Noir so I don’t want to say for sure on those, but the best way to get an answer is to look at the packaging, or to check the company website, they will tell you which way to store them properly. I hope this helps!
Thanks for answering Maureen. Finally on the way home 🙂 Let the coloring begin lol
Any alcohol ink markers can safely be stored vertically. Any water based markers need to be stored horizontally. This covers all brands, as this is based upon what kind of marker they are.
Thanks Melissa!!! 🙂
Hi Angelique, I have only heard that the distress markers need to be stored flat. Personally I have stored my Copics standing for years and years. 🙂
Hi Kathy,I shared on Google +1,Facebook, Twitter, Punned to Pinterest , And shared Posted to Instagram. This would be an AWESOME win.Love the IKEA idea.
BLESSED Day Kathy.
I posted on Twitter. Can’t wait to get started!
I am not a social media diva,( I only use instagram and facebook) and my blog. But you have been shared in all three places! I love your challenges and you are so motivational for me. Thanks! Love the cart. I keep going back and forth about it my self.
Thanks for all the shares Jennie and so happy you like the challenges. Woo Hoo 🙂
I posted the logo and link on my FB page. I also use my Raskog cart as a ‘colour’ cart. All of my colour mediums and pastes except markers go there so in that way we are different. I use a pair of Copic cubbies for my markers.
Your color card sounds nice Rebeccca and thanks for sharing! 🙂
Count me in 😉 Looking forward very much to this round! I wasn’t ready last time around, but I’m prepping for it this week to get set for this marathon 🙂 Thanks Kathy for running this awesome challenge. I know it takes tons of work!! Can’t wait to see what you share. Cheers!
You are so sweet Keeway…thank YOU!! Glad you are getting ready and will be joining this go round. woo hoo

Yay glad you will be joining with your friends. Some major talent on Kit and Clowder! wow and thanks for sharing 🙂
Shared with my stamp group gals by email!
I just love the Raskog Cart! What a great way to store your markers. Will check that out online. It would make for good organization, and with wheels. Just adore the fabric containers. So looking forward to this next coloring challenge!

I could only like it on instagram as I don’t know who to tag as I don’t know anyone there. I don’t have the app as I don’t have a phone. I shared on facebook, retweeted on Twitter.
Have a great day!
Thanks for all the sharing Linda 🙂
Yea! Time for another 30 day!! I feel like shouting from the rooftops!! LOL! But, I actually shared on Facebook and Instagram, tagging a few friends along the way!! Thanks so much for all your efforts!!-and all the inspiration you give!! Hope you make it home soon!!
Thanks for the visual…you shouting from the rood tops Jeannean. LOVE it lol. Just got home. Let the coloring begin 🙂
I always enjoy seeing how people store their supplies. So many bloggers have a dedicated room that is custom built and most of us can’t begin to afford that. It’s a nice way to share with the rest of us. Will share with my crafty friends at our weekly get together and a few by e-mail. I love your color challenges.
I am sharing the exciting news about the new Color Challenge with my local friends who I know enjoy coloring. Hopefully you will have at least three new participants.
Thanks Linda so happy you think it’s exciting. Woo Hoo 🙂
What a fantastic cart! We don’t have Ikea in this country – I am so envious! I will try and post a link on my facebook page.
I have that cart & love it. It’s very well made. I store all my paints/paint related products in mine.
I will be emailing all of my scrappy friends about the next coloring challenge.
That Raskog Cart is still on my wishlist because we live in the area there is no Ikea at all, have to drive at least 3 hours to get to the closest one. But hoping to get this awesome cart for my organization solution.
Your collection is awesome!
Today I shared your challenge on Instagram and Twitter 🙂
EEK that’s a bummer Helen. Do they ship? I heard that the card has really come down in price. Thanks for sharing the challenge info. 🙂
I know…. Shipping is quite pricey. I guess next time we go to big city just have to make a stop to get one 🙂
My pleasure! I love your challenge! Thank you, Kathy!
I have been debating for a while whether or not to get one of those carts. It looks fantastic! I keep hearing alcohol markers shouldn’t be on end — I get so confused! (I have a different brand than copics, though). lol
Pinned the challenge to pinterest. I’m going to have to get more organized to take some images and pencils with me at all times so I can find a few minutes a day — schedule is so crazy this semester — very little “just sit and color” time. Can’t wait, though!
Irene I am proud of you for thinking ahead and making some you time during this crazy semester. I hope your mantra will become …only for 5 minutes lol. Best of luck to you 🙂
Kathy, I love your work! You ave taught me so much! I am a total stalker – I retweeted on Twitter!
lol sweet stalkers are welcomed Barb. Thank YOU 🙂
I pinned on Pinterest!!!
I shared on Instagram!!,
I shared on Facebook!! I can’t wait to see your work!!,

Wow! Fabulous cart and filled with so many goodies! I look forward to seeing your video! I’m subscribed and your challenge sounds interesting! I’m not good at coloring but maybe with some practice…lol. I shared with my crafty friends on Facebook! 🙂
Don’t worry Jenelle you don’t need to be “good” and I can promise you will have more confidence toward the end of the challenge. Thanks for sharing 🙂
How neat your supplies
are in these cute fabric
holders! Shared with friends.

Thanks so much Ellen 🙂 Yay to all those copics!
Excellent way of getting organized. Like you said it gives you more room on your desktop. I will being using this when I get my craft room together, currently at the kitchen table.
Glad you liked it Natalie 🙂
I’m going add the button to my blog and facebook page.
Such fun! I tweeted!

Also, I sent out an email to my crafting friends.
How did you know I was having marker envy?! haha The first thing I said was “Holy cow!”
I love that cart – love the color! Looks like you might need a 2nd one soon. 🙂 I am off to FB to go spread the word about the color challenge.
Thanks for the chuckle Rebecca 🙂 and spreading the word.
Reposted on Instagram. Looking forward to it!
Am so looking forward to our next coloring challenge and posted on Instagram under @jordanbev5
Woo Hoo thanks Beverly 🙂
I shared on my Facebook, which is also linked to my Instagram, and my dog’s accounts on each. My dog has more followers than me. Sad! 🙂 I love this idea. I’ve totally run out of space in my craft room. I am thankful for having the room, but I need to do some serious reorganization.
Thanks for the chuckle about your dog and good luck reorganizing 🙂
I’ve reposted on Instagram, and I am going to try and join this time!
I’ve shared in a blogpost on my Facebook and in Instagram – cannot wait!!!!
I love those carts! I need to go to Ikea and see what’s there! Thank you for another colouring challenge – I enjoy the daily inspiration! I just added it to my blog sidebar for you:

I have loved and wanted this cart for so many years but alas, no Ikea near me.
bummer…I hear the price as gone way down..maybe if you drop some hints someone would have it shipped to you..praying for ya. 🙂
awesome post…thanks for letting us know the ins and outs of your organizing. I look forward to joining you in the colouring challenge.
Glad you will be joining Mary_Anne 🙂 and a big thanks.
Emailed some crafty friends about your 30 day coloring challenge. 🙂
Yay! I’ve been waiting for a new Challenge I will share on FB and IG for sure! I have several of the Ikea carts too. They used to be around $60, but they lowered the price to $29 a while back, so I thought they were discontinuing them–that’s why I got several, cause I knew I would use them. Now, I’ve been trying out different containers for my markers, pencils, etc–I also use the Råskog for that. I like the one’s you show here and will give them a try.
Wow I thought they were less money than what I paid when I linked them! Oh MY! Let me know how you like the Raskog. Thanks for spreading the word :
Hi Kathy,
So excited for the next coloring challenge. Thanks for the heads up so I can get ready! I am sharing with my artist friends. Thank you for the chance to win! I also had the same question regarding how to store my Copics, so I just went to the Copic site/FAQ and this is what I found:
“Which way should I store my Copic markers? Horizontal or Vertical?
You can store your markers whichever way looks best on your desk 🙂 Japan sells them stored either way, so it doesn’t really matter.”
I am glad to see that Copics can be stored vertically because I love your entire IKEA/Container Store storage system! Hope you get home soon!
Yes Laura vertically is totally fine. On my way home now…let the coloring begin 🙂 thanks for spreading the word
What a wonderful give-away….thanks

You know how super excited I am! I’ve been reorgansing my craft space including my Raskog cart – ouch they are cheap in the USA, they cost around £40/$80 here! – but I absolutely love that I can wheel it where I want to. I do have marker envy of yours, but I know I’ve only been collecting since summer last year, so I have a long way to go :). I’ve shared on IG, by word of mouth and will be sharing on my FB blog page and personal page too. Cannot wait!!! This challenge rocks. I’m glad you’re safe too, despite all the snow. Discovered my MD relatives are OK and not too badly hit.
Thanks for sharing Ruth and happy to hear your MF relatives are all good.
How cool and super fun. I can’t wait to play along. I shared on facebook.
I shared on pinterest
And also on twitter.
Wow I just did this two months ago and hav struggled with the container part.. So I just placed an order with the Container Store. Thank you! Looks fabulous and I too love the mobility.. Spreading the word anyway I can.! And looking forward to participating.. Your the Bestest..
Yay Roxy that makes me so happy that you ordered the marker storage “bags” 🙂
Thanks for spreading the word. Hugs
I shared on my facebook page!

Yip, marker envy for sure! Love your cart!
Shared your logo on my sidebar and hope to play along 🙂
Lynne Eek marker envy …. so sorry 🙂
Awesome cart! Now I MUST have one too!!! I am looking forward to the upcoming color challenge and have posted on instagram and facebook. I am new to the color challenge and excited to participate.
Yay Geri so happy to have you joining the challenge. 🙂
LOVE the cart and the containers, they look wonderful and are so convenient and organized!!!
I know little about marker storage especially compared to you, and I have a lot of Marvy markers and others to “contain”, and was wondering about the issue of not keeping them level in terms of keeping the ink where it should be. Is there any issue with this with copics or water-based markers? I noticed you had your distress markers laying down horizontally.
Thanks for your insights, I love your blog and am new to it.
Best wishes to you,
Joanne L.
Hi Joanne a warm welcome to you :). As far as I know it’s only distress markers that need to be laying flat. My Copics are always standing tall lol. Hope this helps. Hugs, Kathy
Yay! Can’t wait for the fourth installment (my second time participating)! Thank you so much for the empowering challenge, Kathy! Can’t wait to learn more from you and everyone participating! I’ve spread the word on Instagram and my blog in hopes that more people will be able to benefit from it!
Awww thanks so much Michelle 🙂
I love the cart! I am forever moving my supplies. so the idea of the cart is so cool. I could keep those things I use all the time in it and just roll it to where I am. Usually the kitchen if the grandkids are here and/or if I need to be near the sink! I would love to spread the joy, but I am not on any social media sites. I have a hard enough time keeping up with email, a few blogs, and the rest of my life. I just got a coloring book for Christmas and have just tried alcohol markers for the first time. My picture didn’t turn out too bad! I picked a page that I wasn’t in love with.! ) I may not finish a page a day, but I will most likely be coloring! I did my first page with gel pens at my mom’s house over Christmas break, then cut some hearts out of the page to make some Valentine cards for my mom and one of my grandgirls who helped me color it. I think they will be surprised, and the colors are amazing, even if I didn’t stay inside all the lines!!! I did one in w/c pencil for my daughter-in-love, then finished the first marker pic yesterday. I started one today that will probably go to my son for his birthday. It has a scripture quote that’s lovely, and perfect for him. Sorry to be so chatty…see why I can’t keep up with multiple sites!
Hey Bev, Most people that use coloring books during the challenge only color a small portion each day. Happy you hear that there are some new markers in the house. 🙂
Love the organizers.
My goodness, This is more then perfect for organizing art supplies! I also shared this giveaway on Twitter @chickie717.
I have this cart filled with stamp pads, water color pencils, watercolor paper and other items for card making. I love it and want to get another one for mixed media and other paints. I pinned the image on Pinterest.
Oh Mary your cart sounds wonderful 🙂
Oooh, that cart looks like a great organizing tool, especially since it frees up table space. I sometimes have barely enough table area to make a card!! I shared the logo on Pinterest as Karen Ladd.
Shared on my FB timeline!!

I just love the IKEA cart! I have one and it helps so much with my organization.
Hi Kathy!! You are so generous with your time and crafty goodies. I’ve got some new inks and ink refills, Pentel Aquash and Teflon bone folder. I think I’m ready! It’s a good thing I’ve already got a vintage cart or that Rascog cart would be calling my name. LOL. I’ve posted your challenge on my blog. Get home safe and sound. Thanks! (((Big Hugs)))
Paulette your cart sounds divine 🙂
Shared the logo on Twitter too!!! Can’t wait to begin.
I could use that cart in my craft room…and in my sewing room too! You can never have too many organizing tips!!! I shared the logo on FB!

Or to many carts lol. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Gosh. I thought all markers had to be stored flat. This makes so much more room! I am having my right thumb bone reconnected to my hand bones tomorrow so this coloring challenge will be too challenging 🙁 Have told my crafty friends to follow your blog and give the challenge a try.
Lindsey as far as I know it’s only distress markers that need to be flat. Hope you heal up quickly, Hugs
Kathy,
Sorry to hear the storm has kept you from home. I hope you can get back safe and sound quickly. I am in love with this idea of storage, you know I’ve been drooling over it for the past month since you posted it on IG. I had hoped to be able to place an order with the Container Store before the end of this month (my birthday so I get a discount) but can’t afford it at the moment. However, when I get a chance I plan to get those wonderful containers and put my Copics and all my other coloring supplies on a Raskog cart as well. Thanks for sharing this wonderful storage solution.
You also know I have been looking forward to your next 30 Day Coloring Challenge, I started warming up with my coloring calendar and posting about it on IG!
Miss you dear friend, please stay safe and well. Thanks for all the work you put into these challenges, you really make a huge difference to so many of us!
Hugs,
Maureen
Finally figured out the Repost app on Instagram. LOL!! It’s been shared there. You have a very cute cart! One of my fave colors!
lol thanks Carol. It took me awhile to figure it out too. 🙂 Bravo
Love that cart and just ordered mine, same color as yours. Thanks so much for sharing. I can’t wait to get it. Shared this on Facebook. 🙂
Yay a new cart!! 🙂
As soon as I am done posting here I am going to share your post with my GranEsGreetingCards group. I don’t have a Facebook or Instagram account and I don’t have a blog so that is the only place I can share it. Oh wait, there is the RSE group I belong to that swaps cards too and Create&Craft group so there are some other groups I can share this with. I can send it to my sisters and my niece too. Don’t know if they will join in or not but hey, a share is a share, right?
I love those carts but not the colors. I would repaint them. However, I have no place to put them right now and no money to buy them so for right now I can’t get one. I like those little storage things for the markers though. Right now I have a pen collection. I collect fun, funky looking pens like my flower pen and my flamingo pen. I have them in a Beatles mug and a plastic round drink container that says Aruba and that’s where I have my Copic and other markers like BIC. Those fabric ones would be great but they are plain. I know I would have to decorate them.
Thanks for showing us how you store your stuff. I want my own craft room!
I hope you got my e-mail’s.
Thanks for sharing Gail and your pen collection sounds wonderful!
Shared on Facebook! Hoping to get some time to join in. I just started a new quilting class & it will take most of my time. Making a bargello quilt for me!
Sounds so lovely Sherry 🙂 lOVE quilts

I don’t have a blog. Don’t do Instagram or Facebook, but I will thoroughly enjoy your coloring challenge, as always. So very much looking forward to it. Thanks for all of your inspiration.
Thanks Susan that is the most important part,…just enjoying! Thanks 🙂
I’m so excited about the upcoming challenge. We were moving during the last one and I wasn’t able to participate as much as I would have liked. I love your cart! Someday! We don’t have an IKEA nearby so I’ll have to wait a bit until we travel near one. 🙂
I shared the logo on FB (my personal timeline and in a private crafty group).
So glad your move is over Stephanie and you can play along more. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I shared the logo on pinterest.
I posted the logo on my blog sidebar and will be mentioning the challenge tomorrow when I blog my next card.
I shared on my Facebook about your awesome Color challenge:)
I shared with my crafty friends on Facebook … for some reason I couldn’t get the challenge logo to show on it …

I shared on my Facebook and Pinterest pages.
Posted on facebook. Trying to post it on Instagram. Figuring that out. Hubby will post to his twitter for me later. Thank you for sharing
Hi Michelle…don’t worry about Instagram if it’s a pain. However it’s a great way to share when you start coloring. ;0
I tweeted…!!! (momgram on Twitter)…

Hi Kathy, I am so looking forward to the 30 day coloring challenge this time. My craft room is filling back up with awesome products. I have posted on pinterst. On facebook I posted the following, “Need to let everyone know there is an awesome 30 day coloring challenge that will start on Feb 1, 2016 at “thedailymarker.com” it is put on by a very sweet, crafty and caring friend her name is Kathy and she is just amazing. Keep the date and check it out and get involved. She has giveaways for some awesome products. Come on and craft” lol I even sent emails to all my friends. By the way I am loving your stamp set from Hero Arts. Many friends have commented on it and even some purchased it. Have a wonderful blessed day and keep crafting awesome techniques.
Thanks Bobbie for that sweet write up and spreading the word. Let the coloring begin lol
I love the cuff containers and the Ikea cart too. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!
Shared on Instagram. Love the cart!
I love the little cart you used… so cute! and those fabric bags are adorable 😀
I love your cart Kathy–I’m trying to figure out if that system will work for me. I have everything portable now–3 copic wallets, some pen/pencil cases but I end up taking just the item I need with me, and currently I have bunch of stuff on the ottoman in my family room. Wheeling it around may be nice, could move it around the house depending on where I’m at. I’ve told many of my friends and my Bible journaling class (on Saturday!) about your cool color challenge.
Thanks Sheri 🙂 Sounds like you have a happy ottoman!
Thanks for hosting the coloring challenge again, Kathy. I plan to participate again, and am looking forward to it. I posted the graphic banner on my Facebook page!
I love your cart. So organized, got to stay organized. I am excited for the new color challenge. I’v spread the word on Facebook and by email to all my coloring friends. Can’t wait!
Thans Kim 🙂
WOW! You solved two of my biggest chaos issues . . .markers and pencils all over and how to move them with me from room to room. I hit IKEA and The Container Store this morning and assembly is scheduled for this evening. I’m excited and ready for my first 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Thanks again.
OMG Susan that makes me sooo happy. Big congrats 🙂
I posted this in Facebook Twitter Instagram and invited every friend that would love this and I really love the idea of getting organized it will help me a lot if I win this giveaway because I draw fashion sketches but I don’t have that material to start.
kisses from Morocco
Oh fashion sketches I love you already lol. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yaaaaay thanks for the reply you can see my work on instagram : https://www.instagram.com/gbf_mata/

Hola, Kathy! I hope you are staying warm. I’m in San Antonio, TX and we hit 72*F today! Don’t hate. ha-ha I will certainly pass along this info by word of mouth to the crafty people I know and also email. I don’t use any other social media. Thanks for this chance to win.
Thanks Marisela 🙂
WOW!! How pretty all those markers look in their containers!! I definitely have Copic Marker envy!!! I only have 250. Several more to go!!
That’s a pretty sweet start Sabrina 🙂
I shared your challenge on pinterest and created a board for it.
Amazing cart!! On my next Ikea order! I spread the word via Facebook and Pintrest! Told friends too! Tried instagram but couldn’t figure it out! But…I love the golden retriever on your account!
Yay the more carts the better. Thanks for spreading the word Wanda:)
I use those cuffed bags from the container store as a scrap and garbage bin on my craft table. Works great especially when you have friends over too.
Looking forward to the challenge
Good tip Janine thanks!! Looovvveeee mine 🙂
Posted to Facebook! Not only does the challenge sound like fun, but the way you have organized / stored your coloring stash is, in a word, AMAZING!!! I drool with envy!
Awww thanks Karen 🙂

I m new from India. Seen few of my fellow crafters playing last year. I left a msg on ur fb and instagram. Do we have to follow any of ur video to play along d challenge or we have to colour it on our own. I know u must b thinking …..how stupid n silly I am. But nevermind i just want to play along this challenge to take out little sometime for me everyday. BTW…i shared ur banner on my timeline and my intagram . Will b waiting for ur reply…..HUGS ❤️
Hi Rajni welcome and so happy you will be playing along this time. Questions are always welcome and totally not silly. Feel free to color absolutely anything even a banana lol.
So excited about this new challenge..this is my first one and I saw how much people were enthusiastic about the earlier ones makes me feel even more energised 🙂 .. Hope I will be able to follow it as much as possible..thanks for,the chance Kathy..
I have shared this on IG.. I am sure many popele will be waiting eagerly for feb 1st!
Cheers..
Well a warm welcome to you Tej 🙂 So happy you will be joining but, do keep in mind you don’t have to color every day.
Excited and trying really hard to get my mind Ned right to participate this time. Lol! I shared your challenge on Instagram. Thanks for hosting it again.
Hey Veronica try not to over think it and just jump in when you can. I think you will enjoy it. :)Thanks for sharing
Shared it on FB and sent texts to some of my crafty friends that might be interested. I think this challenge would be fun to do with the little ones also make it family time event every night.
I agree Nicole PLUS it’s insurance that you will get to color. 🙂 PLUS I love kids
I just shared on my blog and about to share on facebook.
I just posted on Facebook. I had a lot of comments last year and at least one friend that was interested. I also got another friend involved this past summer. She’s the one that alerted me. I signed up for your newsletter and YouTube channel so I won’t miss anything from now on.
Awesome Terri thank YOU 🙂
I’m so super excited! I’ve been shouting out the challenge since you first confirmed it would come coming in Feb. I’ve even gone and set myself up a little colouring station in a wicker basket with all of my new or unused stamped pre stamped and I wrote a blog post about it along with a video.
I’m so excited to get started and to see everyone’s work – thank you for all of your organisation / hoasting
I saw your basket on IG Laura and it’s pretty awesome. Thanks for doing so much shouting 🙂 You rock
I love this!! Coloring is so much fun – and relaxing! I’ll be spreading the word on Instagram // dmg314.
Thanks Dawn 🙂
Definitely have “marker envy” over your life’s up cart. I loved that term. 🙂 great inspiration. I’m excited to try to play for the first time.
Shared on my Instgram. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!
That’s supposed to say – loaded up cart. Boo. That’s what I get for commenting on my phone!
lol I kinda liked lifes up card lol …So happy you are excited Mandy. 🙂
I’m so excited for another excuse to color! I shared on Instagram & I’m trying to get two of my nieces & a cousin to join. We will see.
Thanks for sharing Jody and that would be fun to have family join but, good for you to make some time for yourself. 🙂
i shared on fb – here is the link (i know you said you didnt need it but its easy enough) https://www.facebook.com/vunda.vall/posts/457618334422014
I always love your email updates and this one brings organization envy!! LOLOL I have longed for that Ikea Cart and ONE DAY I WILL get it!!! Of course I love your marker stash! Oh Boy!! Thanks for sharing your creativity Kathy and the opportunity for some goodies! I will share on FB and other social media! I look forward to the color challenge for February! I think that is a little therapy that we could all use for a wide range reasons! :)) Blessings
I’ve added these post: http://wwwstampedimpressions.blogspot.com/2016/01/coloring-challenge-begins-february-1.html and here on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/jcstamps2/coloring-challenge/
I enjoyed making cards during your last challenge and will be joining you again this time. Thanks for sharing your artwork with us!
I sent emails to friends to try getting them involved, even volunteering to set up a private group for us, stressing the 10 minutes a day for coloring. No takers. I’m still in. I’ve heard about this years ago and wanted to do this.
I have most of the copics. They’re not my fav. I really enjoy Inktense, like my old Windsor Newton pan watercolors, have most every other type of product for color application available “just in case/for some day,” including oil paints that I had to quit cause of asthma.
I hope to learn more about the new brush tip color makers. But my all time fav is my prismacolors! I recently bought Gamsol…boy does that make blending easy!
Like you, I find coloring to be relaxing. I have a chronic pain disorder & lots of arthritis so some days I can’t color. I’m hoping this challenge will encourage me to do something else, for just 10 min ea day. Somedays, just getting in my craft room and forcing myself to do something works better than pain meds at tricking the mind to focus on the art, not the pain. It is much more fun!
So my craft room is about ready to go. Thank you so much for doing this and keeping it free…That is so kind of you.
Yay Mary K! Sounds like you are all ready to go. I do believe and hope that the coloring will ease your chronic pain. Keep in mind even 5 minutes lol even if you color a partial image and finish it over the course of a few days. Hugs 🙂
I have the cart–paid way more for it. Just ordered the little bags to put my copies in just like you!, love the idea. Shared with friends and my local scrap booking store.
Yay Vicki I LOVE mine and hope you do too 🙂
Hi Kathy, I love your cart! This is my first time in a challenge like this but I am super excited!
I have posted about your challenge on my blog on Instagram and on Google+
🙂
Yay Pearl and a very warm welcome to you. I think you will enjoy the challenge especially if you just color and let your mind wander. 🙂
I posted about your giveaway on my fb page
https://www.facebook.com/char.deerborn?fref=nf
I know you said you did not need the link, but I left it anyway.
Wow- your cart full of markers made me drool! I posted your challenge to FB & Pinterest.
Joining in this challenge for the very first time 🙂 Dont own any markers but am loving your collection and how you have them organized, and your coloring is gorgeous! Thank you so much for keeping us inspired.
Have shared on my blog and on instagram and have motivated a lot of my friends to join along, looking forward to having fun!
Hi Amna, I am so happy you are taking the challenge for the first time. Woo Hoo!! No markers…no problem! There are so many ways to add color. 🙂
I am spreading the word on Facebook and Instagram to all of my friends, I am so excited to start the challenge. I am in desperate need of color each day. Thanks for hosting the challenge. You are awesome
Awww thanks so much Tracy!! Sounds like you need it as much as I do. Let the coloring begin 🙂
This will be my first challenge!!!!! I’m so excited! I shared the challenge on Facebook with all of my friends. I can’t wait to get started.
Yay awesome Karen!!! Thanks so much and super excited too 🙂
I shared this on my fb wall for all my card peeps to see!
Awesome!!! Love your 30daycoloringchallenge, Kathy. :o) I shared graphic of challenge on my blog in the sidebar. :o) hugs
Just shared the information and am so excited about joining in. I have been practicing and prepping for the past few weeks 🙂 Monday can’t get here fast enough 🙂
You are well prepared Janet! Woo Hoo 🙂
Shared on FB
After commenting I am going to share it on my blog and on Facebook. I am going to try to color each day. I have always wanted to do it, but never do. I am going to try to do it. Thanks for your generosity. I have three of the IKEA carts. One I sent with my daughter to Michigan State University. Her and her dorm mate use it for all their bathroom/shower stuff. My other two are in storage right now. In June when I get our stuff to our new house, I am going to move all my Copics to the top rack of one of the carts and out of the big Copic bag. Happy Coloring!! Pam
I posted it on Facebook!
Posted it on Facebook. 🙂 Not sure if it´s ok to participate, beacause this is the 1. February…
Yes yes it’s totally ok Saila 🙂 So happy you are joining in the fun.
Posted on my Instagram. But tagged 30 day challenge xx
SO EXCITED that Day One has been posted 🙂
I shared all about it and linked it on my blog, here is the link to my post. http://tracyscraftyadventures.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/kathys-4th-30-day-coloring-challenge.html
I may be too late for the contest, bt that’s ok. I invited some friends to join me in coloring!
Just went to the Container Store today and bought a bunch of the cuffed bins and a few other things to organize my cart. I am moving to Tennessee and will have a much smaller place to craft…so this is wonderful! Thanks for the ideas….I will be posting on Facebook!
I have a Raskog and absolutely love it but I’m not using it to it’s full potential. I am now in reorganizing phase! HAha! I am sharing this on Pinterest and telling some good friends about your website and the 30 day coloring challenge!!!
Hi, shared on Facebook …
Thanks for giving us a chance to win and sharing the organizing tips….
I will definitely have to get one of those carts…
Have an awesome day!
Love how you are so organised Kathy – just off to catch up on the last three days of your challenge. Best wishes to you on another fab launch and amazing creations. Wishing you an AMAZING February/Colour Challenge month. Hugs to you from across the ocean. D x
I have posted on my FB page and will be sure to spread the word to my stamping group this weekend. I love the organisation cart. My pencils and markers are not accessible now.
I just restarted creating handmade cards and I think your challenge is a product great motivation. I will try. Very nice blog!
I’m a little late, but thank you for the shout out. Miss you! xoxo
