Day 2. GIVEAWAYS Coming

Hello Friends! Happy Day TWO to you. I am sure it might be hard to squeeze in some coloring if you are entertaining, have weekend plans or have children!  Don’t forget you can color a petal on flower. Just something quick … 10 minutes … to get you out of your head and your mind off of the daily stresses of life.

Thank you all for inspiring me on Day 1. with all of your entries. It really truly makes me giddy with joy and happiness. Thank YOU!

Hey Pumpkin is one of those stamps that I reach for in the fall. It’s from last year and I still love it so much. Thanks to Honey Bee stamps for designing it! Initially this was watercolored using the same ink and paper that I always use.

I painted this a few weeks ago and pulled it out to finish it up. We are away for the weekend and I forgot my critical supplies OMG (pencil sharpener, paint brushes, sharpie, 0.03 fine tip marker and a white gel pen) I feel so lost with out them. I could swear I put it in my bag but, obviously I didn’t lol.

This beautiful tree in our neighborhood was my inspiration. The leaves on the top are missing so I am going for that partial look ….. sort of!

Adding clusters of leaves with four copic markers was fun. I found a gel pen to draw the eyes and mouth … not the same as my trusty fine tip sharpie … and the eye smudged… don’t use a gel pen!  Since I didn’t have a pencil sharpener the lines on the pumpkin don’t look the way I would like but, I wanted more texture so I went for it.

As soon as I get a minute … I will be giving away all of these boxes of gently used stamps, possibly die cuts, supplies etc.

and I will have SIXTY goodie packs of stamps and some stamps and die cuts to giveaway during the challenge. YES you heard me right 60 … SIXTY! The winners will be randomly selected from comments on my blog and instagram from Day 1 through Day 29. That’s the basic info just need to formally type it up.

See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 2, 2019 at 10:01 pm

    Wonderful card. Your coloring is always gorgeous. I envy you the view of those beautiful fall colors. Here is Texas our trees have not started turning yet, but the last week has been unseasonable cool (cold!), so expect it to start soon. I look forward to participating in the coloring challenge as often as I can. In fact, as soon as my clothes come out of the dryer I’m off to my craft room!

  50. Essie says

    November 2, 2019 at 12:30 pm

  51. Sheri K says

    November 2, 2019 at 12:31 pm

    How awesome your pumpkin card is! Also terrific all the prizes. I am coloring and have images all ready–I’m cheating and using 12 x 12 paper that has images to color, like Color play and Adorn it. I’m going to turn the images into cards to give to my Mom, who lives in a senior living facility. Thanks for sponsoring this, as I plan to do an image every day.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 2, 2019 at 10:09 pm

  69. Sharon O says

    November 2, 2019 at 3:01 pm

    I personally don’t think you should be so hard on yourself! The trees in my neck of the woods are only partially leafed out, I have smudges on my face, and my pumpkins lines are never crisp!!! Oh, and BTW, I love your work and what you do to excite and motivate the crafting community! You go, girl!!!

Have a wonderful day, Robyn

    November 2, 2019 at 11:44 pm

    I love this stamp you colored! It is so cute! How come though in one photo it looks more orange, the top photo & the one underneath looks more pink? Must be the lights. It is a great fall photo for sure. I love your coloring! We did pumpkins when I was in high school I think & we put them on our porch. 3 of them, one for each of us. Someone stole them & we were so upset until the police showed up in our driveway. We had no idea why they were there & they brought back our pumpkins! They caught who took them & brought them back to us all in one piece. The police are great! I just had to share that story because your pumpkin reminded me of it. If I can’t post my photos on here, I will post them on Facebook. Somehow, someway, everyone will get to see them.

    • Gail Plaskiewicz says

      November 2, 2019 at 11:47 pm

    When I first spotted those boxes, I thought you were moving house … in the middle of a challenge …
    Hopefully, the current challenge will be a bit more relaxing for you than the last one, Kathy. Love your sweet image and colouring. I had intended to spend lots of time in my craftroom today, but the weather was so glorious, I put my summer clothes back on (shorts and top) and took a book outside. Still, I did manage to do some colouring this weekend. Yay!

    The image is one of my faves as my husband’s pet name for me is Pumpkin! Your coloring is amazing, and I like how you shared your adaptability when you didn’t have the supplies you wanted. It’s ok to be flexible and you achieved a beautiful end result even if it’s not what you originally intended!

  144. Judy Williams says

    November 4, 2019 at 10:14 am

    I read how you left your favourite tools at home, and I know that feeling. I’ve sometimes gone to crafty get-togethers and discovered my best tools were left behind. The difference between you and me though, is that I’d have given up and frittered the time away doing nothing in particular, but that you found other ways to achieve a final finish using different tools that you did have with you. And that final card is fabulous! I should learn from you, next time I won’t give up x

  145. Mel H says

    November 4, 2019 at 12:08 pm

    I love how you added some pink and red to the pumpkin…it adds the perfect touch of realism.

    WOW Kathy, I am SO far behind on my emails. EEEK! Playing catch-up now but managing to get some colouring in. I lost my beloved MIL in Sept. who lived next door to me for 40 yrs. so I am still adjusting to my new norm, I miss her so much 🙁

    For not having all of your supplies with you, you sure are managing quite satisfactorily. Love the trees with the partial leaves, it looks about right for the season. ‘)

    Hi Kathy, I took your class last year at My Favorite Things and it was awesome. I have learned so much since then from your posts. I would love to be a winner. Thank you for everything you do for those of us that need help coloring. Jana

    Hi Kathy, You amaze me by not also challenging yourself to refine your colouring skills but you experiment with colours. Love this new pumpkin.

    Whew what an amazing giveaway!! I just found you for the first time today on Instagram and I can’t wait to get started on your thirty day challenge!! I signed up for your emails too! My hubby and I love to color and our alone time usually with each other is coloring. Nothing like love and destressing at the same time with the one you ❤️ love!!
    Thanks for the inspirations!!

    SUPER CUTE and SO VIBRANT – WOW

    PS – for some reason I can’t leave a comment on Day 1, so I thought I would take the opportunity to say how WONDERFUL your stencilled projects were. I have just started collection distress inks, stencils and daubers with some blending brushes in transit too, so I look forward to giving them a workout, maybe even add some backgrounds around my coloured images => THANK YOU for INSPIRING 🙂
