Feeling courageous enough to zoom in a little closer lol. Just registered for the October 2013 Training Seminar. Hope to meet a lot of new people who Zentangle, too!

Last Friday night I had the pleasure of meeting Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts of Zentangle fame at their exhibit at Alternatives in my old stomping ground of Whitinsville, MA. I was completely blown away at the level of talent they have. I also brought two of my own Zentangles to ask them what they thought of them. Maria said, "These are beautiful." Thank you, Maria. Maybe I can crawl out of my artist's block after all.

Using sketch 2 from Operation Write Home to make a general card for the troops. This additional critter below is my Pubbadools. He is super chill about mommy being home today.

Wow, it has been a while since I posted. Thought I'd tack on this little card. I'm placing it at my father's graveside for Father's Day in protective plastic. I took inspiration from OWH's sketches. This was their very first one! I'm starting from scratch to warm up my brain for more card challenges. I'm pretty sure my dad will love this. He alays wanted me to do watercolor art. Close enough?

Hi, readers. It has definitely been a long time between posts and I apologise. There are blogs I visit daily, forget hourly, yet mine has remained blank for over two months. Since then, I have been coping with the passing of my uncle/godfather, adjusting to additional duties at my workplace, doing some soul searching, and trying to lose a few pounds lol. On the artistic side, I recently discovered Zentangle, and have thrown myself into it with all my heart and soul. Only problem is.... I'm afraid to post my tangles! It was different with stamps, but now I truly consider myself and artist in recovery (it was my summa cum laude major in college!!!) with a lot to show but still scared to show it. Anyway, I truly appreciate your time to read and review and hope you will continue to subscribe. I still retain a love for Lawn Fawn stamps, and if I ever sell a Zentangle, you can bet I'll be throwing that into the LF stamp kitty!

Enjoy your Sweetheart candies while they last! Stamp and supplies: Stampin' Up!
