I drew these a while ago, finally posting. Try ’em out, share/post & tag me on social media! @aixelsyd13
I have the colored versions, inspired by the four seasons, colored via paint.NET. I also have the black & white versions posted.
One may not be solvable. I’m bad at that sometimes. 🤦♂️
For years, I have teased my wife about a habit I have noticed when we are setting out seasonal decorations. It happened at the apartment where we first cohabitated, it happens at our house now. It happened long before our children were in the picture. She cannot leave anything that I put in place stay where I put it. I put it on the left of a shelf, she moves it to the right. I put it on the wall-shelf, she puts it on the Victrola.
I had to go out for work in the afternoon today, but I set the kids on a path of chaos this morning before I left. My daughter was excited to put out fall decorations. I told her to watch because Mommy moves every decoration that I set out. Then a light bulb went off in my head.
I told her to get a white board for herself, and a white board for her brother, and mark down a point every time they set out a decoration and mommy moves it.
The winner gets to move one of the decorations that Mommy places!
Apparently shenanigans ensued while I was at work. I think it will be a new holiday/seasonal event.
Do you have someone in the house that moves decorations?
Do you have any fun decorating traditions?
Let us know in the comments.
Can you dig it? Complete one. Post it in the comments or on the social media platform of your choice, and tag me. @AiXeLsyD13 is usually it.
Lots of people have some extra time right now. Take the time to challenge yourself with this maze. I drew it on graph paper. The paths are very small. I would love to see someone tackle it.
I scanned the original & left as-is, then played with the brightness/contrast a bit on a second one to try to get the blue grid out.
Print one out & give it a try. Or, try it out on your mobile or tablet screen.
If you do finish it, post it & tag me on social media. I’m @AiXeLsyD13 on Instagram & twitter. You can find me if you look on Facebook too. You could even post it in the comments.

I won’t get preachy here other than to say stay informed, follow the best practices, and wash your damn hands. I have posted plenty of that on Facebook.
Print, solve, & re-post!
Print it & complete with a pen, pencil, crayon, marker, or whatever. Then take a photo & post it on your favorite social media site, and tag me; @AiXeLsyD13 (Twitter & Instagram)
You can even download it & use a note app or one like PicsArt on your phone to complete the maze, then share it too. Share it on Pinterest. Lots of people are looking for stuff to do right now. I’d love to see how far this (or any of my mazes) can go.

Here’s some stuff I posted on Instagram but not really here;
Did you see the first post and the last post about the maze mugs? Mike has been doing some fun stuff, and I have (very slowly) been working on mazes for the box. Also, Mike posted some fun stuff:
Check out this packaging!

More than one maze per mug so you don’t get bored!

So, what do you think? Want to see mazes on anything else? Want them solvable? Like that packaging or love it? Check out Mike’s other stuff on Instagram! He has been making some killer skateboard decks and a topical T-shirt.
I won’t get into the COVID-19 / Novel Coronavirus outbreak here, but if you’re bored in quarantine… remember you can do all of my mazes. It’d be cool if you finished one, posted on the social media platform of your choice & tagged me.
I need to put a maze on a guitar. I need to update photos of my collection. I want to catalog them here since the sites I have found to do it don’t really suit my needs. Add that to the endless list of unnecessary projects to be completed “someday.”
Mike Copen of Ci3 Sublimation had the idea to put one of my mazes on to a mug, and I agreed that it would indeed be fun. We need your feedback to help make this something that people may be interested in buying?
Here are some images that Mike worked up;
Do you like the names? Feel free to comment your own.

I would also appreciate comments here on this blog post, or on my social media posts;

We have gotten some great feedback so far, and I dig it!
I really appreciate Mike helping take my mazes to something other than doodles on paper piling up here at the house, or floating out there in the cyberspace ether unnoticed. Ha ha. I am unable to determine the correct path on how to go about making a book and if there would even be an audience for just mazes. I’m really not into making a theme other than “here are some mazes” outside the occasional inspiration for something else that’s goofy. (Or on something that’s goofy.)
My friend Mike is helping make my mazes a bit more interesting! This is a prototype. Please, let us know what you think!
Check out Ci3 Sublimation on Big Cartel and Etsy for all kinds of cool products from Mike.
I think you know you can find my mazes here.
Would you like a maze mug? Would you like a maze on anything else? I think the dry-erase thing is super cool.
I know most online Aldi groups call it the Aisle of Shame. Can you get through the maze without going there?
There are some crazy Aldi fans in Facebook groups out there. There are some people who like mazes out there. Is there much of an overlap?
It’s really that simple. You can even skip the printing and solve it on your phone or tablet usong a note app or photo editor if so inclined.
Well. They’re not all Halloween themed. But they’re all mazes. I messed around with some of them in PicsArt and Instagram.
Try a few. Get the solutions on your social media of choice. Tag me in it. I’m always @AiXeLsyD13 unless someone is being a butthole and takes it first for some reason even though it’s my handle across all platforms.
Share them too. This may be a fun Halloween activity for the kids or for the whole family.
