I like the number system. It helps to keep track of what I have read and the information included in each article. Also, it helps to locate information that you may refer us to. I like things to be organized, so it’s a perfect fit for me. But, as it should be, the decision should be up to you and what you like. I am definitely looking forward to your new book in July. Looking forward to pre-ordering it very soon.

I too like your numbering system. It allows me to find the one's I've missed more easily. I hope you continue this practice.

Thanks for asking our opinion.

Plus, I can't wait to read your newest book. I've got the rest of them.

Always looking forward to your next post.

Congratulations on your new book, Sam! I’m so excited to add your new release to my Samantha Baker book collection. I’ll preorder it at a new local bookstore in our town. I’ll recommend that they order a bunch of them so other people can buy one, too! I love how you encourage people to draw with their own style. It’s encouraging to know that we can draw with you and learn from you, but we can have our own expression of our style as we draw our days and our adventures! I’m grateful for your inspiration and friendship over the years. I’m excited that your book is coming out during my birthday month, too! It will be the perfect gift to myself!

Just wanted to wish you congratulations on a new book! I can’t wait to see it. My mother is in the hospital at the moment, and during the time I sit with her, I’ve brought my sketchbook and a copy of Draw Your World. Both the drawing and the book are soothing. 🙏💖

Congratulations!! I am excited for the new book and so happy for you and this latest milestone in your journey.

I have your first 2 as e-books. I will take this new opportunity to get all 3 in real book form with real pages to turn…such a good experience.

Re your numbers…I find that helpful in just the way you described. It is a great resource for finding things that have been inspiring.

Can’t wait for #3 book!

I actually think it really doesn't matter. If you like the numbering system, and it appeals to how your mind works, then it's working! I'm sure it doesn't hold anyone else back in any way. In all probability, it's more helpful than not - others might make a note to refer back to a specific article, and a number is easier to record than a long title. I love your posts, I love your art, and I love your encouragement - that's all I need. Thank you for your willingness to share with us.

Big congratulations on the book again! I'm actually also debating the numbers. I don't think they're very useful at all in the title. But I do have them for all the individual posts...
