******* Quote for the Day ******* 

Attitudes are contagious.  Are yours worth catching?  

~Dennis and Wendy Mannering

Just wanted to mention . . .

I've been reading through quite a few blogs lately

and I've noticed a trend ~ unhappiness.

I don't know if it's the weather, economy, or who knows.

I would love to pass around my happy thoughts ~

so to all of you who are willing to accept them ~ here they are!

GOOD VIBRATIONS!

I love this quote . . .

"Don't do anything that you don't really want to do.

Keep yourself in a place of feeling good.

Reach for the thought that feels better -- and watch what happens."

--- Abraham

Have an exceptionally wonderful day!

Now Available

I have had so many people ask me where they can buy my

blank Tangle/Pattern Cards, that I have decided

to sell them through my Etsy Store.

 

The link is to your left or you can just

click through here.

Thanks to all of you who have asked!

He's HERE!!!!!

Well, I get to announce another new member

to my family . . . 

Gabriel Dryden Miller ~ my grandson!

Born ~ March 18, 2011 at 3:42 PM

Gabe is 5 pounds 10.5 ounces

19 1/2 inches long

and is a cute as a button!

My daughter-in-law, McCall is doing great

and so is my son, Justin.

YIPEE!

Pen Storage

I decided that my studio needed some help!

(Actually, the studio is fine ~ it's me that needs help!)

Anyway, I have a ton of pens and markers, etc.

and hated the way they were stored.

So, I found a really cool solution online ~ here is what it looks like now.

Believe it or not this picture does NOT show any of my

Copic Markers and Pens!

My husband and I went to a hardware store and purchased

two 10' lengths of 2" diameter PVC pipe.

Gary cut the pipe into 4-1/2, 4 and 3-1/2 inch sections for me.

He washed them and sanded them ~ great guy!

I wrapped them using scrapbook paper and viola! pen storage!

Look!

I taught a Zentangle Class a couple of weeks ago
and one of my students, Ginny, sent this card to me.

The egg stamp is from Stamp Francisco
Copic Markers used are E00, E01, E11, E33, E35, E37 for the egg
and W1 for the shadows.
AND, of course, her tangled bird.
What a beautiful ZIA ~ thank you Ginny!

Tangle/Pattern Cards

For quite some time now I have been

using these Tangle/Pattern Cards
as a way to keep my patterns with me.
They remind me of Paint Chips, so . . .
I call them my Zen Chips!


They are very cool! and extremely useful!

front and back

Whenever I find a new pattern I draw the steps
on the back of the card and then recreate
it on the front. I have a line to write the name of the pattern
and a line to write the designer's name.

Thank you Gary!

I made this mug insert for my husband, Gary.

His favorite tangle is Rick's Paradox ~ by Zentangle, Inc.,

so . . . I just tangled them all together!

I think this was my peace offering for not going

outside to help him shovel snow ~ not that he minded!

He's a great guy and now he has a beautiful mug

to drink his coffee from!

First of many . . .

Seeing Kit's (Dreamscribe Designs) coffee mug inspired me!

I had so much fun doing this ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art)

and the great thing is ~

is that I have already received orders!

 

Challenge #7 ~ Breathe!

If you haven't participated in the Weekly Challenge ~ 

START TODAY!

Go to i am the diva web site and take the plunge!

This week's challenge is ~

"Your challenge, should you choose to accept it - is to create

a tile or piece using conscious, even breath. To Relax. Breathe. Smile."

                                                                                    ~ The Diva

This instantly popped into my head ~ all I could think of while

doing this challenge was all of the pollen coming from

our cedar trees and that because it is so cold you can see your breath,

sometimes making it hard to BREATHE.

The awesome thing about these challenges is that we all

interpret the challenge differently.

By the way ~ you will relax, breathe and then smile!
