Day 27. Coloring Card

Hello Friends, How are you? If you are stressing I am wondering if it will help thinking “one day at a time” and just focusing on just today? Not so easy but, might be worth a try.

Thinking of you all and hope you are healthy and safe and employed!

Yesterday’s post took a lot to pull together and it’s pretty awesome we have raised almost $2,000. With Citi matching that money it’s really $4,000. and that makes me so hopeful! Thank YOU for your donation. Every little bit helps the children. 

I didn’t have a lot of time to color so I grabbed one of Simon Says Stamps coloring cards. I usually travel with them and they are a quick pick me up. I added more dimension on only ONE of the flowers with pencils.

You can see the before and after here. These little details are what I love coloring the most.

I spent hours making these graphics for Instagram.

I used the art that is up for grabs for the donation incentive.

So I thought why not share them here.

I will be back tomorrow for more coloring.

See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    I am loving your flowers! I donated but please don’t enter me in your art giveaway, I already have one of yours that I will cherish always and I don’t want to be greedy.

    Wow, Kathy! $2000 ($4000) is phenomenal! That is so exciting. I can imagine it was a LOT of work but the kids who get to eat because of the work you put in are going to be so grateful for full bellies. I love the touches of pink in your blue flower! I am checking out all of your blog posts though I don’t have time to comment on them all. Thank you for the role you are playing in leading us all through a healthy way to manage our time and feelings right now. I am grateful!

    I thank you for what you are doing, I really do. I wish I could have donated something. I love all of what you did. My mom is totally freaking out about this virus. She’s 92. They are telling us to support our local restaurants & get take out. My sister doesn’t want to get it & feels what if they are sick or they don’t wash their hands? I know the people in this restaurant because I used to dance with their kids. This business has been around for years, I trust them. My mom is just freaking out! I love all of your colors on your flowers, they are so pretty! You do the most amazing work!
