Grand Finale

Scribbled Lives Week 50—Grand Finale

I reached a significant milestone. This is the last prompt for 2020, a strange and enlightening year.

Members were asked to review the preceding 49 pieces they completed and to create one final piece that would complete their collection.

A year ago I took a risk. By channelling Eleanor Roosevelt—who said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.”—I signed up for a year of Scribbled Lives. Of course, I never dreamed current events would arouse so many emotions—nor that the group’s activity would prove so therapeutic. On dark days their artwork and comments lifted my spirits. I would not have made it to Week 50 without their momentum!

We are a community of diverse artists from many places around the world. What we have in common is a desire to communicate using beautiful letters.

I was not planning to continue with Scribbled Lives beyond one year, but I fear I’m hooked now. See you in January!

Oh, thanks, Eleanor, you’ve never steered me wrong.
