10 DAY COLORING CHALLENGE starts Thursday

Hello Friends! How are you? Are you craving some daily coloring …. looking for an excuse to find some YOU time? I think The Coloring Challenge  will do just that for all of us! Let’s be honest times are still hard for so many and even harder for others. My prayers are that you are finding some peace, comfort and a vaccine if you want one!

What do you think of the new Coloring Challenge Logo? The person who would change the dates and colors on my previous logo is unreachable and I hope she’s ok. It’s probably called four kids and Covid! I reached out to someone else and went for a refresh that took a good month and a half. I hope you guys like it …. I am getting used to it.

This particular challenge will be 10 days but, the next coloring challenge will be the the usual 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

The next 30 Day Coloring Challenge will be our 20th anniversary so there will be lots of prizes and a few things in the works already. With that said Thursday is the the first day of this 10 day challenge.

If this is your first time joining the challenge a warm welcome to you!  This is a good time to get your feet wet with a 10 day challenge. The goal of every challenge is to find a little time to color and I hope you will enjoy sharing with the coloring community, spreading kindness & support for each other!  Perhaps you can only find ten minutes on some days & the 10 minutes a day has always been my mantra.

The goal of every challenge and my wish is that it will be fun and stress free for you!! The icing on the cake is … this is a  good way to put your coloring mediums to use while finding some self care.

I hope to answer any questions you might have or give you a little refresher if you have participated before.  I will share my daily coloring both on my blog and on Instagram.  I am rarely on Facebook, but there will also be a private FACEBOOK PAGE, if that is where you choose to share your coloring.  Hopefully you will be inspired by the other entries posted each day by other participants and we can encourage each other to stretch our creativity.

** If you post on Instagram and your account is private I won’t be able to see what you are coloring and nobody from the community will be able to either (just in case you didn’t know that)**

Have a look at the #thedailymarker30day and you will find over 202,000 entries and so much inspiration from the previous challenges. It also gives you an idea of what some of our community is doing for their coloring.

My hat is off to you all!! Thank YOU all for your participation!!!  I would NOT be here if it wasn’t for you all!! Grateful is an understatement.

 

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE CHALLENGE?  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.)  It’s an ‘anything goes’ challenge; color whatever you feel inspired to do.  Any medium of your choice including “coloring” with ink or fiber for that matter.  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. PLEASE DON’T FEEL like you need to finish or make a card. This is about coloring and finding a little time and it’s a lot about DE-STRESSING!  (often I have colored one petal on a flower).

CAN ANYONE PARTICIPATE IN THE 30 DAY CHALLENGE?  YES please!  If you want to participate you can jump in at any time during the challenge.  Feel free to include your children and grandchildren.  If you miss a few days don’t feel like you have to catch up.  We all know life can get in the way.

HOW DO YOU SHARE WHAT YOU ARE COLORING?  On Day 1  I will have a place for you to share on my blog with a link up (here is the last challenge link up if you want to have a look).  Two more ways to share are FaceBook or Instagram (these are more interactive).  When you use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day  and tag me that way I hope to find what you are doing.  Kids & young adults use #thedailymarker30daykids.

** please note we will continue to use the same hashtag even tho this challenge is 10 days. ( #thedailymarker30day )

WHAT IS A GOODWILL AMBASSADOR?  Each challenge a group of people are chosen that was very active during during the previous challenge.  They will be helping me spread love on Instagram and Facebook.  The challenge is about coloring & community, spreading kindness & support for each other.

THE GOODWILL AMBASSADORS FOR THIS CHALLENGE are: A huge shout out to these lovely ladies! Most of them have been LONG time coloring challenge participants and so fun to see these beautiful faces! It’s always an honor when a Goodwill Ambassador says yes to this time commitment and I hope you will check out their body of work on Instagram.

Patricia helps with the Goodwill Ambassadors and so many other things.

Feel free to grab the logo to share on your social media. Thank you all again I am so grateful and super excited. See you IN A FEW DAYS!! Big Hugs and lots of gratitude, Kathy
