The first ever hosted #sillydoodlechallenge Gross Groceries is in the books! Just like that. November just flew by! We actually had 5 participants who made it through each day with us! I've done challenges before (as you know) and it is very hard and satisfying to draw daily and complete the whole month. It has been so much fun to see all the creative ideas, hilarious names, and silly stories come out! I can't explain how thrilled I am to have people take this month long daily journey with me and my son. Also, knowing the impact a tiny little challenge made....bonding parent and child, bringing out a silly side that you don't usually bring out, thinking outside box, fighting through a rough day, taking tour mind off things, taking risks with what may not be "funny." I didn't really realize all these things until the end and getting feedback from the participants. Amazing! In the big scheme of things, I made a tiny difference in the world.
When I was telling my hubby about it, being the gamer that he is, he asked what do you get? Honestly you don't get anything but personal satisfaction for committing and completing the challenge. He then suggested maybe I could come up with a trophy or badge of some sort. I thought that idea was brilliant! I asked each participant who stuck it out from the beginning to the end to let me know which character was their favorite. I racked my brain a bit but I finally came up with a badge. It was fun putting it together and being able to commemorate the moment. I sent it to each person but I guess I should've mentioned they can use it or post if they wanted to. Not sure if they would've though...LOL.
