Catchup update

It dawned on me earlier today that Christmas is next week. Who knew?

Jury Duty

I received a summons for jury duty the last week of November.

Paper Doll

After viewing the Diva's challenge for this week the song "Paper Doll" has been rumbling through my brain.

Think outside (inside) the box

This week the guest blogger for the Diva asked us to take grid-based tangles and make them freeform and/or take a freeform tangle and put it in a grid.

Thankful

This is the month of giving thanks in America. I am thankful everyday for family, friends, life.

Weekly Challenges

I am posting my weekly challenges. I even managed to do Joey's Challenge.

Streak over

Kansas City lost game one of the World Series 7-1. However, there are still at least three more games to play.

Pulling Hair

It's a good thing that we only speak figuratively of pulling out our hair in frustration, otherwise I would be bald.

Celebration

This week's Twinchie Tuesday word was cake. Since I had already used the tangle Cayke several times, I attempted to just draw a cake. I put candles on it and put Breast Cancer Awareness on the icing in celebration of this being awareness month. Instead of my usual signature orb I placed pink orbs on the candles.

Woot! Woot!

The Royals won the division series defeating the Angels 8-3. This is really great because the Angels had the best record in all of baseball.

Art

I don't often follow art blogs; however, I like to do scratchboard works occasionally, and came across a blog by a scratchboard artist named Sandra LeFaut. Her work is truly amazing. While there I found the blog of another artist whose work I had seen on The Art Colony. Her name is Karen Hull. Both of these women do phenomenal work. Their links are:

New Look

I changed my blog some more yesterday and I'm trying to see if I like it better. I also made some behind the scene changes. I am trying to see if I can use the labels thing to make a list on my blog of stuff. I like that on other people's sites. Does anyone know where I can get a bookshelf for my blog (like Shelfari?) ? I did figure out how to get the badges on my site and even managed to get that clock thingy I like so much ( saw this on StudioML's blog).

I started a new challenge this week, Twinchie Tuesday. This week's word was Safari. I wanted to do an animal, unfortunately, I can't draw one. So I opted for the tangle pattern Zedbra. This tangle was created by two Canadian CZT's and they stated that in Canada they do not pronounce Z zee but zed. So I made a herd of Zedbras (okay it' s only two) for my Safari twinchie.

Zedbra on Safari

I still have to complete my Diva, It's a String Thing and Tackle it Tuesday challenges, not to mention the continuing work on my project ( I am up to the L's). So I am off to my appointed tasks.

Almost forgot about my Joey's Weekly Tangle Challenge. I drew my basic design or it yesterday, but have not begun to tackle (tangle) it yet.
