Wooo hooooo! We did it, y’all!
First of all I want to give a hearty thanks to all the folks who visited my blog, Facebook, or Twitter to support and root me on. Your comments, retweets, shares and ‘likes’ were encouraging, often funny and clever and always more than welcome. Thanks also for doing the same for my fellow SkADaMoers. You guys made the journey all the sweeter and kept me going when I was tempted to simply sit around eating a whole bag of chips while watching time wasting kitty antics on YouTube.
I may have only completed 19 sketches in 30 days, but that’s 19 more sketches than I would have done otherwise.
In fact, to all my fellow SkADaMoers:
You decided to step a bit out of your comfort zone this November, dip your toe into a challenge. Maybe you did one sketch, or 5, 10 or all 30. Whatever number you managed to do… You. Are. A. Winner!
Why? “Why am I a winner no matter how many sketches I finished”, you may ask? Well, because you took a positive, productive step toward revving up your creative engines this month. Perhaps your sketchbook is a little fuller, your blog has a few more posts. Maybe you killed it and did 30 sketches or more! Maybe for those who participated in PiBoIdMoor even if you didn’t, you have some great picture book ideas percolating now or some great new ideas for a painting or some other type of super cool project. Maybe because you dipped your toe into this challenge you’ll be more toned up to jump into something even more challenging with both feet! Whatever the case may be, you did it and that is fantastic! Good for all of you!
You rock. Take a winner badge!
Now go on and enjoy the rest of your holiday season, feeling a bit more energized. Maybe you’ll take a rest from sketching every single day, maybe you’ll continue do a wee bit every day…
OR…
Maybe you’re a masochist like myself and you’ll join the HoHoDooDa (Holiday Doodle a Day) fun that December brings (starts tomorrow, or any day you can join. Of course the sooner the merrier.)
More about the fourth annual HoHoDooDa later today. For now congratulations SkADaMoers! You kicked November’s butt!
And thanks again to everyone who supported us and rooted us on. You guys are winners as well. Take a badge!
Yay! We did it. What a work out. But I am really happy for having accomplished it. I have definitely learned and improved. Thanks for hosting this, Linda. I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone’s awesome sketches. Great job, y’all!
Thank you, Lacey and your welcome! I think next year I’ll go back to having links to follow participants. The Facebook hashtags were not very reliable. Maybe a Facebook page. Anyway, I’m so glad you got a lot out of it. I always do too!!!

I managed 21 posted images, and a few more I never got around to scanning in… I may add them later. Thanks so much for making us all feel winners :)
I might even add a few for HoHoDooDa if I can get myself organised!
Good for you! Congrats!!! Will look forward to seeing some HoHoDooDa, if you can. If so, send me a link to where you are showing them and I’ll start a running link of all the participants. Have a great holiday season!
