This is a super simple project and can become a very fun gift DIY to do for teachers, neighbors and stationery addicts on your Christmas list this year. I LOVE buying notebooks. A new notebook is like a breath of fresh air for me. It makes me feel better and if I’m having an off day or am feeling…

I really wanted to share these projects with you so that you can see how versatile one craft product can be. We’ve already gone over a few ideas in the Travel Journal mini class series.

    The summer is officially here and I am thinking of taking some time off for a vacation. It might be a selection of day trips, a weekend getaway or if I’m very lucky a week long break. In any case I will need a travel journal to use as a scrapbook. I love collecting memorabilia, pictures

I’ve seen Zentangle books in the craft store and classes there are advertised. I wanted to know a little more about this form of art before I spent big bugs on it. I was able to get the book from Amazon while it was free.

What a refreshing book on Zentangles! I love the use of color in the tangles, the art dolls and all the sample forms she offers us to fill with Zentangles. Glad to see she gives full credit to the originators of Zentangles and encourages us to buy materials from them. This book has me itching to try my hand at “tangling”!

Margie

This is a good introduction for what to do with all that Zentangle art. It has a good mix of Zentangles with directions. I’m also pleased with the number of pics. The unfortunate thing is the links to the free stuff isn’t working but it’s a good book even without that. Good tangling to you!
