Oh me! Oh my! It's me!

Self portrait done! I finished this just in time to put it in my display yesterday for my project fair. The genuine interest was a bigger compliment than anything anyone said (although that was nice too).

Zentangle Date with Dawn

Friday, my mom and I had a date at the local diner with Dawn and finally started teaching her how to Zentangle!! It was a very exciting moment. I started this tangle that evening and just finished it this afternoon. Didn't think I was going to like it, but I'm fairly pleased.

Goal 1: Teach Dawn to Zentangle ☑
Goal 2: See Dawn make a complete tangle
Goal 3: Get Dawn a scanner
Goal 4: Start up her own art blog

First Entry in a New Book. Always makes me smile!

My friend, Dawn, gave me this cute little book last summer on our way to Mississippi. We were supposed to teach her how to Zentangle...but it turns out that there's very little time for art on a mission trip. My mom managed to turn something out everyday, and I'm just in awe.

Anyway, this is my very first entry in a book that I've had since summer. I love it! I love starting new books.

Monopoly

I'm a huge fan of Lord of the Rings. I'm also a huge fan of game nights. Combine the two and you get awesomeness!

Squishy, Stretchy Mice & Cheese


Yay for strange and random things that we find in Michael's! When my brother showed them to me, I just couldn't pass them up! Honestly. How many people do you know that can say they own stretchy mice and cheese? I'm willing to bet it's not a lot.

Jaidan's Bunny


Over top of the letters on the side, I put glitter glue and it looks really neat in person! If I do say so myself... :) This was my first White-on-White painting (if you can really give it a big title like that) and I just loved doing something different!
