Happy weekend!! Whew what a crazy week. How was your week? I see many of you are taking time out to color and that makes me so happy.
Mommy Lhey stamps are so whimsical and so fun … plus they just make you smile. Love this stamp set called, ” Pokey Face” … see …. even the names make you smile.
I have to be transparent or rather I want to be. I colored this when I was at the retreat in case I needed an emergency coloring post. Well that’s today…. this post goes live in 10 minutes lol.
I have been doing my coloring in the fridge for my daughter filling it with fruits and veggies. (it was fridge makeover…it doesn’t look like this normally). I made lentil soup with sweet potatoes and a egg dish with roasted broccoli, cauliflower, mushroom and a little cheese. (sorry no recipe I made them up but, hope to get them on paper and if I do I will happily share)
Have a happy day and see you tomorrow for my “It’s All About You Feature”.
There were so many giveaways all week so if you missed a few you might want to poke around. See you soon! Hugs, Kathy

Day 12. Dark Background
These are totally fun stamps! And an amazing depth of coloring. Now, go enjoy your family time. Weren’t you the one who always says, ‘you don’t have to do a whole card, just color, even if its only a few minutes a day. Have a great day. Mmmmmm…roasted veggies ! :-))
No matter when you colored this it is still stunning! The egg dish sounds yummy! Would love for it to get put to paper for sharing! LOL 🙂 Enjoy your time with your daughter! TFS!
Fun card indeed, it made me smile! I love the shadows you gave them. Happy Saturday to you!!
CUTE card and fun sentiment:)
Great coloring and fun sentiment.
Yes it did make me smile !! loved the idea of shadows..little amount of details make gr8 difference 🙂
The name alone makes me giggle.I love the amazing shadows and little faces.Please have a super pleasant weekend.
These cacti are really cute!
And I really love your planter with the face – super adorable!
Such a fun card. Last week has been crazy. I have not been colouring, but I did manage to stamp quite a few cards for the Caring Hearts Drive and sent them off to the UK, and I did my first plaid stamping. So I guess I did manage a little ‘me’ time after all.

Your “ME” time sending cards and trying the plaid card is super. 🙂
Pokey Face? Oh my gosh…giggling over that and delighting over your trio of cacti! Talk about precious expressions! Yes, I can relate to the ‘what a week’scenario, too. We’re tucked into a vacation rental, awaiting tomorrow’s celebration of husband’s sister’s life. I’m planning to do some colouring….brought a mini mobile crafting unit! Thank you for the smiles today!
Hugs~carol
way too cute!!! I hear you on a crazy week!!!! Enjoy having your daughter home!!!
Hi Kathy, love that you’re transparent about the coloring (as you are about things that didn’t work in your videos)! It’s great that the coloring challenge isn’t about getting stressed trying to reach daily goals, but about de-stressing. And if I’m honest, there couldn’t have been a better month to do this… With everything going on here this month – illnesses, accidents, arguments, and ugly weather on top – I think I’d have gone crazy if I hadn’t carved out the time to do some coloring every day 😉
I wish you a wonderful time with your daughter and a stress free weekend <3
Sorry to here about your trying month. I’m gald I could bring you some relief. The important lesson is “ME” time helps. 🙂
Very cute little cacti Kathy! I’m just starting to love cacti and succulents too, have bought some stamps too,so when I get time to colour them…….lol.xx
Happy whimsical card…and you managed to clean and stock the fridge too! I’m sending you my address…
What an adorable card. Again the coloring is perfect. You’re so inspiring. Thanks so much.
I really have to work on my shading and highlighting, and study your images for lots of tips and hints. I got to do a tiny bit of coloring this week, but also put aside time to gather up coloring supplies to take for our Thanksgiving visit to see my brother, s-i-l and 9-year old niece who’s excited we’ll be doing some coloring while she stays with us. Your finishing line to “poke” around some was a perfect ending for your cactus post.
Enjoy your neice. It’s always so much fun coloring with a child. Safe travels. 🙂
Great card Kathy – great shadows!
Have a wonderful time with your daughter :o)
Super cute Kathy ❤
What fun images and love the shadow.
love this!
it is so cute!
amazing coloring!
hugs
Love the vibrant coloring on this card.
Well that’s darling! Do I see a bandage on the cactus? If so, that’s is hilarious!!! I’ve been out of sorts this month Kathy but I did the best I could so far to color and upload when possible. I love seeing what you and others are doing. Thank you for the encouragement. Blessings, Rosy
How cute! Enjoy your time with your daughter!
Kathy you are like Super Woman… the fridge looks good and full of healthy food AND an emergency card on hand for such a day! (Beautifully coloured, of course!) Martha would be proud! LOL
Wow! Your coloring shows completely different looks on different stamps. I like the shadows and deep colors on this adorable whimsical card!
I’m glad you had some treasure time with family and food today! I don’t know how old your daughter is, but it is a great way to reinforce math skills by letting them measure amounts of ingredients…even if you don’t need it measured! And, it is a great time for good talks while you are busy. It’seems a nice tradition to have in place BEFORE they are teenagers!
He-IS-Able!

Cute card Kathy, thanks again for having the 30 day challenge.
Super cute card, Kathy! Love stamps you used. :o) Enjoy!! :o) xx
Lovely coloring in the fridge, Kathy! I like these patterned bowls with fruits!
Such sweet succulents! I wish my fridge looked as organized as yours does, Kathy!
What a cute and whimsical little stamps set!! I am discovering so many lovely ones during this great event!! Your colouring is just awesome Kathy – you are a highlighting master for sure. Thanks so much for all you do and I hope you are enjoying your time with your daughter 🙂 xo
They are very fun, so much creator there. I wish I could buy everything I see!
Cute card and stamp set!
What a fun card and I love the shadows! Have fun visiting!!
Your happy coloring put a smile on my face! Thank you for all of your inspiration and loved your shadowing especially!
Good for you for using a card you coloured at the treat – some days it is just not possible however much you want to. And you are the first one to say that we can dip in and out, so you must find ways of helping you manage it too. It’s a lovely card, and such a super cute set! have a wonderful time with your daughter, hugs xx
Hopefully I will see some cactus when I fly to AZ later this week! Cute card!
Oh wow! Really adorable!!!
You have a very special way with succulents Kathy, LOVE your scene, colouring and shadows!!!
Hope you’re daughter is enjoying all the tasty treats you have gathered 🙂
So cute Kathy! I, too, love your coloring! 🙂
beautiful coloring!!
