HERE I am!!!

Well first let me say It's been a good break from blogging.. I actually did try blogging on wordpress again, but once more found out I just don't like the way their system works behind the scenes.. So I decided to return to my old haunt :-) Just so I don't have to RETYPE what I typed before.. here's the one post I did on wordpress..

I want to share just a couple creative things.. Here's a zentangle C ATC I made to angel for a swapbot swap..

I really enjoy angelling swaps.. I get to create something and bring a smile to the face of someone who has been disappointed.  That's a win-win if you ask me.. I have angeled and been angeled before. I really try to pay it forward whenever the opportunity presents itself.  I love doing random PIF type things in real life too.  Example - I printed more than one 40% coupon before I headed to my most recent trip to Hobby Lobby and passed a coupon to a couple behind me.. and I like to think they will  pay it forward as well.. In a world where everything is so " me me me" - it's refreshing to do something nice for someone else for no reason at all.. and having been the recipient of such kindness myself - it's just as refreshing to receive it.

I finally finished a belated bday gift for my dad.. he loves the things I make.. he (like my mother) would rather have something I made than something I bought. So I put this mini wall hanging together for him .. the skull and wing pattern is by Bad Bird - but I added the crown and "Dad".. I am quite pleased with how it turned out:

He love skulls.. so I also made him a card with the same type theme:

I really enjoy making these skull zentangles.. reminds me of the Mexican Sugar Skulls..

I was also informed of a great tutorial to make zipper bracelets.. so I was coerced into making a few and I am currently waiting on a shipment of zippers to make some more.. they really are quick, easy, stylish and fun:

I have such a fondness for all things Kawaii.. I am dying for a kawaii tshirt presently.. but I have made some kawaii style ATCs and Altered Rolodex cards lately.. here's some I worked on the last few days:

I am currently contemplating a kawaii painting so stay tuned!!!!

I am going to close with this .. I have more I could say, but it's been a LONG day... filled with cleaning, cooking, and football practice in 107 degree heat. I am going to retire for the night and start all over in the morning :-)  Gnight!!
