Hello friends and my dear color enthusiasts!! How are you today? I am super excited because the sixth coloring challenge is about to begin. I am thrilled that these challenges have inspired you to add color to your day. If you are new to the coloring challenges a very warm welcome to you and so happy you are here.
Are you ready to hear what’s new this go around to The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge?
If you are not the reading type here is the link to the video. A big thank you for your feedback and I am happy to announce The Daily Marker 30 day Coloring Challenge FACEBOOK PAGE!! I asked and listened & I am happy to say that it will be a closed group so you will feel comfortable sharing in the FB group. I will need to confirm you or something like that. (I am still learning the ins and outs of FB.)
THE GOAL of the challenge is: To color something daily even if it’s a few minutes but, certainly not required. (I know that I am happier when I am coloring even if it’s for 10 minutes.) Hopefully together along the way we will all stretch our creativity a little bit more. BASICALLY it’s anything goes challenge and whatever you feel inspired to do. Any medium of your choice including “coloring” with ink. Some days you will have more time than others but, it’s just about adding more time to color and carve out a little time for you.
CAN ANYONE PARTICIPATE IN MY 30 DAY CHALLENGE? Wow that would be awesome if you want to participate & feel free to jump in at any time during the challenge! Everyone is welcome! Feel free to include your children and grandchildren. I will be highlighted the children’s creations separately on my Sunday “It’s All About You” Feature on my blog. If you miss a few days don’t feel like you have to catch up. We all know life can get in the way.
What’s NEW: You commented and I saw there was a need to include more of you who prefer to post on Facebook. There is a wonderful community on Instagram and I didn’t want someone anyone to miss out. Let’s get a community going on Facebook … click here to join the group.
ALSO I have some “Goodwill Ambassadors” to help me with leave love on your work (on Instagram we get about 600 entries a day). I am grateful for this awesome group of people …. in the video you can hear more about why them etc. The growth of the Coloring Challenge has been good and I realized I can’t do it all. You all are so sweet to worry about me not to be overloaded .. your comments and emails are so appreciated.
The Goodwill Ambassadors are: Patricia, Sandy, Giorgia, Sandy Boone, Patti, Roxy, Fatima, Meghan, & Nate. If you are on Instagram most of you already might now this lovely and generous group. As I mentioned in the video I always worry about hurt feelings especially the community has grown because of so many of you. For the NEXT challenge I will be picking different Ambassadors to help me out.
THERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO SHARE: You can share your work where you are most comfortable. I think it’s best to either find your community on Facebook or Instagram. You can also upload to my blog like always. If you use this hashtag #thedailymarker30day we can easily find what you are coloring and let it be know that I am super excited to see what you are creating. (FOR CHILDREN OR YOUNG ADULTS please use this #thedailymarker30daykids)
If you want to use the logo below that would be awesome. Let me know if I missed anything and I am so excited to be inspired by all of you again.
With Love, Kathy

I am so looking forward to this next colouring challenge. I know it takes a lot of time, effort and energy to organise and follow up on everything, so I’m really happy for you that you found a team of goodwill ambassadors to help you with this huge task.
Hugs, Marianne x
Thank you so much for your support and kind words. I’m glad you like the idea of Goowill ambassadors. Hugs:)
I am so glad to see that you have some help and these ambassadors are a wonderful new addition!!! Going to start getting ready this weekend! Thanks for all the work!!
Thrilled to hear you are ready to go Nov.1. Thanks for your thumbs up regarding the Goodwill Ambassadors. 🙂
Loved the changes Kathy !! A big hello to Goodwill ambassador s 🙂
Thanks for embracing the new changes. 🙂
Wow Kathy! <3
Great team of Goodwill Ambassadors!!!
We are a very special community.! Thanks 🙂
<3
Awesome Kathy! If we join the FB group do we become “friends” with everybody? I would prefer to keep my FB private and be able interact with the group but not actually open up my FB account to strangers. Does that make sense?
You won’t be opening up your FB. You would have to accept a friend request in order to have people see your private posts.
Thanks so much! That’s great to know. 🙂
thank you for this coloring challenge!
I’m much better at my coloring since I started to do this challenge.
hugs
Wonderful! That makes my day. See you tomoorow. 🙂
Looking forward to join in this amazing event!
🙂
I’m so looking forward to another challenge! Thank you for all you do and please do not apologise for not being able to do everything.
🙂
Kathy I always love your videos, you’re just so natural. I love how you never cut anything out. Welcome to your wonderful team of ambassadors. I am so looking forward to another round. I hope to be a little more active than last time. Thanks for giving so much of yourself to all of us. xo
I really appreciate your kind words and support. Join in on the fun whenever you can. 🙂
Thank you for creating the Facebook group. I do use Instagram but don’t like to put all my cards there cause I don’t want my noncrafty friends and family feel like they must comment and like my posts.
So glad you have a great group to help you out this time!! Looking forward to it all!!
Thanks for your support and encouragement. 🙂
You are a star! Jo x

I’ve watched these challenges many, many times, and I’ve never participated. I’m going to give myself the pleasure of making time to participate this time around. Thanks for doing these Kathy.
Fabulous! Come join the fun and this friendly supportive community. You desrve this pleasure. 🙂
I absolutely love your 30 day coloring challenges. I don’t do any of the facebook, etc., apps, but I DO follow along and sincerely enjoy your daily posts and videos. Your talents are amazing and inspiring. I look forward to your posts. Thank you for all you do, and for sharing your talents with us.
So happy to hear you follow along and you are making time for yourself. Thank you 🙂
I’m always colouring so it’s this is perfect for me! Ready! Set! Go!
🙂
First, you speak just fine, you should have as much confidence behind the camera as you do in your coloring!
So excited to get started with the blog hop! And to add a few new friends to my IG family. I can’t wait to see what everyone colors! And I want to thank all the sponsors for their generosity!
So sweet of you to recognize us all that make this Coloring Challenge special. The IG family is a gift to all. 🙂
Bless you Kathy! Another coloring challenge–and November is great, I can color all of my Christmas cards-I know, I send about 60, all the same so you’ll see me making a ton of backgrounds! I’ve already submitted my request to join the FB group. I “prescribe” coloring for several of my chronic pain client-the ones who do it actually love it and can’t believe how much it helps! You have inspired me! And Boo to whoever is giving you thumbs down dear lady!
I agree … A big BOO. Coloring is so therapeutic for myself and so many others. How fabulous your patients are finding relief through coloring. Thank you 🙂
Yay! Looking forward to another challenge. I think the Good Will Ambassadors is a great idea, I can’t imagine doing what you do without some help. Don’t ever apologize for being quirky, we all are in our own way and that’s what makes us who we are. I LOVE quirky, so keep on with your quirky self!! 😀
I can’t help it. I will continue to be quirky so thanks for embracing my quirkiness! LOL Thanks for supporting the GOODwill Ambassadors. 🙂
You are a gem and truly so kind and generous to continue to host these amazing Coloring Challenges. Congrats on #6!!
I really miss creating soooo much — too exhausted most days to do a thing, but I still enjoy following you and my other favorites designers!!
Thanks for making me smile for being so amazing ….
Hugs,
Lisa
Such sweet comments. Keep smiling and following. Idea will be stored in your mind for later. 🙂
Woo HOO It’s HERE!!!!
🙂
Definitely going to participate this time. I followed all the ambassadors on Instagram and joined the FB group.
You go girl. Bring it on. Find that time for yourself. Thanks 🙂
I have not been able to participate in the last few challenges and am hoping that by some miracle I will feel better in time to participate this time! I have been in bed sick since last Friday and a week later feel worse than ever! Starting antibiotics so hoping they kick in and get me back on my feet!
I joined the FB group and am awaiting approval! Thanks and hope to see you at the challenge! 🙂
Hope you are feeling better and I’ll see you during the challenge. 🙂
Oh,, Kathy, I am getting ready and am so stoked for my very first challenge! And how wonderful that these great ambassadors will help you! Thank you, wonderful people! Looking forward to it!! Hugs!
How exciting you are joining in on the fun and able to find some time for you. The Goodwill be a treat for myself and everbody else. 🙂
I am so excited the coloring challenge is on again. You know me, I love to color so this will give me another excuse to do so. My dad just recently went into a nursing home. He fell on a rainy, windy day outside his foot doctor. He fractured his collarbone and hit his head. There was a lot of blood but they took x-rays at the hospital and said heads bleed a lot but he’s okay. When we go for a visit I bring my coloring so there is something to do. Sometimes we are there for 2-3 hours at a time and there isn’t much for me to do. I can bring a book to read too and believe me I have plenty. Our library is getting a makeover so we had to take out as many books as we could before Tues. when the library will be closed for a month, so I have plenty to read and color. I’ve done some amazing coloring since the last challenge and 2 people who are artists called me an artist! One is a guy who uses chalk to do portraits and another is a guy who does 18th century paper marbling. They said my use of color was spot on and that my pictures that I’ve done are very artistic and I am an artist. Wow! I wouldn’t have thought that but hey, true artists would know, right? I’ve also been making some Christmas cards and coloring them. Can’t wait until it starts again!
Oh yeah. I don’t do Facebook or Instagram or any of those sites. I get tons of spam from Facebook and I don’t know why. My mom has a Facebook page so I can show her what my niece is doing because I am the one with the computer in the house. I do go on but I rarely post if at all.
I am thrilled the “Arist” is joining in on the fun again. Posting isn’t necessary but finding time for yourself is. Thanks 🙂 OOPs I didn’t mean to spell ARTIST incorrectly.
Wow, sixth challenge, that’s amazing and I will have to check but I think I was there from the first one. So glad you have some help Kathy, love all your ambassadors, already follow them,. Thank you so much for organising, yet again, I am sure it will be a great success, hugs, Lisa xx
So glad you have been part of the Coloring Challenge community from the beginning. We are so lucky to have such supportive and creative people in our lives. Thank you for your kind words and embracing my ambassadors. I feel very lucky. 🙂
I’m so excited I can’t wait! I’ve told my friends and followers about it too, so hopefully they’ll join in too!
The more the merrier. Thanks for spreading the word. See you tomorrow 🙂
Hi !! A fun Challenge !! Thank you and it Would be great to see a LOTs of inspiration ;))

I am having a blast! I’ve enjoyed using different mediums that have just been sitting around. This nurtures my soul.
