Today is day 287 of quarantine. The numbers of new COVID cases each day are terrible, and my stress level is high, but I feel this small bubble of hope. I have friends in the medical profession who have received the first dose of the vaccine and while I probably won't be able to get it until well into next year, this still gives me hope. A feeling that there is a light at the end of this long, dark, and scary tunnel. I hope you all feel it, too. I am soo sorry and sad about all of the moms, dads, brothers, sisters, and friends, who have been lost this year. I have lost people, too. Be thankful if you and your family are well. Reflect on what you have and on who you have. Be safe. Be strong. Have hope.

I love this time of year because of all of the lights. Hanukkah candles and Christmas decorations in my neighbor's yards with twinkling lights always give me a feeling of hope. It's day 280 of quarantine and the COVID numbers in our country are worse than ever, but with the new vaccines rolling out, there is HOPE that by this time next year, maybe, life could look a little more normal - it may be a new normal, but I'm hoping that we can see friends and our children could go to school in person. Happy Holidays - please keep physically distancing yourself from friends and family and everyone - but know that it doesn't mean that you have to be alone for the holidays - call, skype, zoom, and write. Stay in touch without touching. Be safe so that next holiday season, we have a greater chance of being with family and friends. Believe in hope for the future by staying safe and keeping others safe now.

Copy, Print, Color! Happy Hanukkah!

Today is day 278 of quarantine and tonight is the 5th night of Hanukkah. The menorah that I drew for the first night has grown more branches and changed over time. The Hebrew term Etz Chaim means "tree of life. I've always loved artwork depicting different versions of the tree of life, but this season, I am particularly drawn to it. Stay safe. Stay home.

HAPPY HANUKKAH! 

(first night is tomorrow night, 12/10/2020)

Today is day 273 of quarantine and COVID numbers are bad so we are continuing to stay home and looking forward to lighting our menorahs tomorrow. This tree of life menorah is in honor of the hope that this holiday brings for life, for survival, and for celebration of getting through a difficult year. Stay safe.

We only had a few flakes fall in Georgia last week, but I thought this would be a fun page to do anyway for day 271 of quarantine. Stay safe!

Today is day 266 of quarantine and the big news is we had a dozen snowflakes fall in Georgia yesterday!! My kids are scared that snow days are a thing of the past now that school is remote, but I think that snow days will still exist. Only time will tell. I hope you are all staying safe.

Today is day 264 of quarantine and it is the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend. This has been a crazy year and with all of the vendor fairs cancelled, it has been a challenge for many artisans and craftsmen to connect with their customers. Head to Etsy and read announcements and the about paragraphs to see why they create what they create. Hit the heart button on your favorite items. Many, like me, are offering free shipping. Consider supporting the artists and giving friends or family a handmade gift this year. 

My shop is called Doodling Rocks and can be found at: www.etsy.com/shop/DoodlingRocks.

The other 77 free coloring pages are on my blog at: https://alisonhertz.blogspot.com/

Today's new coloring page for Pandemic 2020 

page 77 is a worksheet. 

The first page below is what I'm thankful for. 

Below my page is a blank with space for you or your children to draw a picture of what you are thankful for and below that is a blank with lines for you or your children to write what you are thankful for. 

Think about it. It has been a strange and tough year, but we have things to be thankful for. Today is day 259 of quarantine for my family and my neighbors. Video chat or call your family and have a happy Thanksgiving. We will all get through this together. 

Don't forget to #shopsmall this Saturday and 

check out my Etsy shop, Doodling Rocks.

When I started drawing these pages back in March, I never imagined that my Pandemic 2020 coloring pages would roll into 2021, but we know they will. I have almost filled a sketchbook with just coloring pages. Today is day 252 of quarantine and Thanksgiving is around the corner. The leaves are falling and my dog is happily crunching through them on our walks. Please follow the CDC guidelines and don't gather in person for Thanksgiving or Christmas or Hanukkah this year. Let's work together to slow the spread.

Today is day 247 of quarantine and Thanksgiving is next week. I read a quote yesterday that really stuck with me. 

"This is not the year to get everything you want. This is the year to appreciate everything you have."

The CDC recommends that people not get together for Thanksgiving and I truly hope that people will listen. I know it will difficult for many, but think of the greater good. The sooner that we can stop the spread, the better.

Today is day 240 of quarantine. Election results are in and Kamala Harris's speech was empowering. Whether or not you voted for her, understand that she has achieved a higher position in our country than any woman in history and that is worthy of celebration. In her speech, she said, "Dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others may not, simply because they've never seen it before. Know we will applaud you every step of the way." I will be putting this design as well as several others into my Etsy shop, Doodling Rocks, so follow my shop to get updates on new designs. (The link is on the side panel of this blog.)

On a different note, COVID19 numbers are rising, so keep wearing a mask, keep social distancing, and stay diligent in keeping yourself and others safe.
