Good morning! What a wild and crazy productive weekend creating in the studio! When I looked at my calendar for the month of May, I found that I was pretty well triple booked for the first few days. Nothing like giving this BAD girl an incentive to get her behind in the studio. I almost said flabby fanny . . . BUT . . . if you aren’t following me on Facebook, I’ve lost 45 pounds since October. It’s not such much a flabby fanny anymore!!

I’ve got to projects today! The first one is for eclectic Paperie and is my take on the ePlay Challenge for this month, Get Stenciled! You’ve still got plenty of time this month to play along.

You can find all the details and more photos on the eP Blog today!

My second project is for Quietfire Design. Suzanne made us this great “Thanks” stamp that we could fill up with all sorts of doodles or tangles.

Once again, you can find more photos and details on the Quietfire Creations Blog today.

I hope you’ll hop over and join me on the eP and Quietfire blogs! Thanks for stopping by here today!

Good Tuesday morning! I know it’s Tangle Time Tuesday and I do have a couple of new tangles to share with you. BUT first, I have to share a couple of photos . . .

recently we’ve had a number of geese roaming the streets. There are two ponds by my house, one on each side of the block to the rear of us. I haven’t gone by recently to check on the water levels but my guess is that they’ve been fairly low. We always have some type of ducks or geese at the ponds but recently they’ve taken to walking up and down the streets. This was the scene Sunday morning.

and then at the front end of the boulevard.

These were taken from my front porch . . . Mr. Stodgy warned me to be careful when walking around the boulevard, watching where I step. That is my normal walk with the dogs . . . one lap around the boulevard and it’s a half mile.

Geese are not unusual to the area, and in most places where they are there are hundreds of them. I don’t actually know that they ever leave the area anymore what with the weather we’ve had the last few winters . . . maybe they still do and I just haven’t noticed.

Now for some tangles.

The first was done on a Zentangle Square (you can tell by the rounded corners).

The second was done on hot press watercolor paper.

That’s all I have for today, but wait until tomorrow . . . I’ve got a surprise post coming up!

Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, enjoy the adventures that come your way today!

Tangle Time Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday! Since I missed last week, I figured we were due for another Tangle today. I haven’t been in the mood to tangle recently, and am pulling from some that I did back in the beginning of the month.

Here’s one I don’t think I showed you when I was hooked on the circles.

These final two are the last one I finished up.

That’s all I have today. Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, enjoy the adventures that come your way today.

AS AN ASIDE: The last two days I’ve typed that last sentence, it has meant more to me that I can possibly say. This afternoon I’m heading to visitation (funeral tomorrow) for an old high school friend of mine. He was admitted into ICU just about 4 weeks ago for kidney failure, and he earned his angel wings this past Saturday. He was 54 years old and one of the best men and best friends I’ve ever known. Every once in a while you develop a friendship in your life that stands the test of time and distance. If you are lucky enough, you might have a handful of friends like that. The ones that you may not have talked to for a year or more, but if they call you and need you, you’re there . . . and if you need them and call, they’re there. He has been one of my best friends for 41 years. When I looked at the number of friends on his Facebook page, there are 332. There are 332 people out there that Steve really loved and knew and loved him in return. There are 332 people out there that thought of him as one of their best friends. When I looked at my page, I have 796 friends and I’ll wager to guess that I only know a third of them. He truly was a very rich and blessed person. The only thing I can say is . . . life is too short, please make the most of your days whether it be getting fit and healthy, spending quality time with family and friends, wherever the adventures of your day take you . . .

Tangle Time Tuesday #6!

Good morning! Can you believe that a week has already gone by and it’s time for another Tangle Time? Hell I can hardly believe that school has started here . . . where have the days/weeks/months gone?

I still have a few Tangles in the reserves that I did a few weeks back that I want to share with you.

Both of these are on hot press watercolor paper and measure 3.5” square.

If I’ve shown you these before, I apologize. I’ve been a poor record keeper of late!

Thanks to everyone who has played along and left a link. I’ve so enjoyed seeing your Tangles . . . great inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by today and as before, if you are inclined to post your work please come back and leave a link. We would love to see what you are doing!
