Exciting news to share!!

Oh friends!

Bucket list crafty moment:  CHECK!

 

I am over the moon excited, beyond thrilled

 and absolutely starstruck to share ...

THIS!

I was super excited to be chosen by Kathy R
to be a goodwill ambassador for the upcoming February
Daily Marker 30 day!

(February does have 28 days 
and Kathy explains on her blog, it's still the 30 day challenge :) ♥

I am sure you all know the talented, kind and generous Kathy R 

from The Daily Marker!
She generously hosts #thedailymarker30day 
and is one of the most encouraging and uplifting ladies in the crafty community!
I've been playing along with it for several years now
(my photos date back to 2015!)
That's a lot of fun - a lot of images - a lot of joy!

If you want to follow along with the coloring,
you can go here each day in February.

There is also a way to follow along on Facebook
and Instagram!

You can follow along with me on my Instagram at miamikel4

Thanks for sharing in my joy!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Faithful Friday ~ Love is kindness ♥

Hi friends!

March is one of my favorite months ~

and not just because it's my birth month! :)

It's the month that one of my favorite challenges happens!

Today's card is my 3rd colored image for The 30 Day Coloring Challenge ~

a challenge I have been doing for awhile now

(I think this one marks my 4th or 5th time - woot!)

You can see my past coloring/cards on IG: @miamikel4

where I love to hang out, too!

The challenge is also a great way to do my favorite part of card making - Coloring!

By the end of the session, I've colored enough images

to complete birthday cards AND Christmas cards 

so it's a wonderful way to get crafty, creative and practical!

 

Today's card is using a SU! image Love is Kindness ~

a stamp set that I wanted for forever.

I fell in love with it after seeing it on Pinterest

and asked around to all my crafty friends if they had it,

but after hearing no at each turn,

 I figured it wasn't meant to be :*(

Well, surprise!

Hold.  the.  fort!

Crafty friends really are the best friends!

Low and behold, my wonderful friend Barb and her amazing demo, Sarah,

found it at a rummage sale at an SU workshop

AND remembered that I had been looking for it!

  I was simply overjoyed ♥

The fact that they remembered I had been looking for it

and thought enough to scoop it up just meant the world to me.

Thank you, Barb!
Your kindness is a measure of how truly beautiful you are,

inside and out ♥
