February 14, 2013 - I'm sure you were expecting a heart of some kind....

This week's zen's - I'm never sure what to say about what I was thinking about when I was drawing these.  I do have to say that I need a better way to record my images - these lose a lot when I scan them and the only digital camera that I have is my phone and that is only a 4 megapixel camera. My husband thinks I should get the Samsung Note 2 which has an eight megapixel camera. or wait for the the Samsung S4 which has a 13 megapixel camera but doesn't come out for a couple of months. Decisions, decisions....  I will add today's image later. Maybe this evening, maybe tomorrow.

Today's Zentangle Progress

This is today's progress on my Zentangle image. I didn't realize how much I worked on it until I scanned the image.  There is still a lot that has to be done but it's getting there. 

So... we are told that in the Chicago area we are expected to get about 23" of snow and blizzard conditions, in the next couple of days (1/31/11 to 2/2/11). I don't usually believe what they say but it certainly seems like they may actually be correct this time.   Since my commute is close to 45 miles each way - I don't think I'm driving in that mess - and I also think we better get to the grocery store early tomorrow or there won't be anything for dinner if we can't go out.

2011, 01 JST Zentangle Project Progress

I started this image for my husband last night. I asked him hat he would like for his birthday and he requested that I make him something. Really?? Wow!  That really made my day. 

I started this in December - just the pencil lines. Last night I finally started working on the actual image. I probably spent about 3 hours on the drawing last night and I can't wait to get back to it when I get home tonight. This work stuff can really get in the way LOL...  

This is the Initial Box - he asked for something with both our initials in the main "box"

This is a close up of the left side of the image

I didn't want to stop last night I was on a roll.

Paula's Zentangle(r) Birthday Card

Today's birthday card is for my sister-in-law Paula.  Do you see a theme here????

I decided late last year that I was going to send birthday cards this year. So far I haven't missed one - OK it's only January 19, but I have sent out three cards so far. The only problem I'm having is that I keep finishing them the day after they should have been in the mail!


I haven't had much time to just sit and work on my cards - I will make time this weekend. I think I have 16 cards to send by the end of February -- I"m going to have to come up with another theme soon.


My friend, Linda, and I have been on a Cricut Cartridge Quest. A couple of weeks ago we found out that Michael's was selling the older cartridges for $9.99! What a steal, I mean deal... We went to four different Michael's and found that we already owned the ones that they still had - we missed the beginning of the sale by two days.  Last night I had to go to Menard's and they have Cricut Cartridges there - Never in a million years would I have looked for Cricut "stuff" at Menards. They were also selling them at $9.98, so I picked up a few that I didn't already own. I felt like I won the lottery.  Anyway, the point is now my friend and I are challenging each other, we are going to actually use the cartridges that we have to create cards. YIKES - use what we already own, who does that???


CRICUT CHALLENGE - We are picking a cartridge that we have and making two cards from the cartridge, we have to have the recipe with the card so we can go back and duplicate it when we want.  The first cartridge I'm going to use is Celebrations... This is going to be interesting.
