new planner with a new zentangle...

Along with the theme of recycle in CED…. I made my own planner for the year 2010 out of an old book (which I am going to read the book that I took the cover off of).

My "title" page is my zentangle #28.....

I used one of my other zentangles that I digitally colored and cropped to use as the page header on my calendar page and note page......

and since I am actually not very good about using planners because they are usually to, umm formal for me I created this page....

It seems a little more causal for my liking... I saw a planner on the internet that used all these "bubbles" to create list of things to do, plan your day etc... I liked the "bubble" idea but not the fact that you had to keep track of so many things.... I can keep track of what ever I like this way... It seems like since I don't have to keep track of everything my kids are doing for school/sports/dances and not running my own business anymore I have relaxed a litte to much on keeping track of my appointments.  My farrier knows all to well as I call him the day before an appointment to come trim my horses feet but I can't remember but have a hunch... maybe I will do better at keeping track of things this next year!

Time to close.... have to get to bed so I can be ready for work tomorrow... been off since 12/18 and not ready to go back...  thanks for looking!

Deer across the way (it is so cool to have animals like this around)

just finished stomping his foot.... ready to eat dinner

waiting for the ball to be thrown....

I made a planner for my husband using old hard back books for covers...

cover page

one of the inside pages I created....

The past few days have been busy getting ready for Christmas. Of course, I waited until the very last minute to do anything…. Including shopping. I have taken some pictures of the deer that were across the way in my neighbors yard… my horse and my dogs… I took the pictures of the deer just this past week and we had no snow and then it snowed just a little bit. I played around with one of my zentangles and did some digital stuff… I need to take the time to print them on fabric and go from there…. I have also been making journals and planners using old books as covers…. I have been off of work this week and luckily it has not felt like it has zipped by for which I am thankful! Need to finish a couple of more things….. Thanks for looking!

Zentangle #27

Zentangle #27.... I started this about 2 weeks ago and really wasn't into what I had started.... left it alone.... started and completed a couple other zentangles and came back to this yesterday.  It is kind of interesting how you just "zone" out (or at least I do) when I work on these.  I spent the day shopping with my oldest daughter... had a great time.... picked up some fun stuff at some thrift stores and some new things.  Made a "day" timer for my husband for xmas.... a week at a time... will have to scan a page to show.  It actually came out pretty cool... need to finish up my xmas shopping tommorrow...  well thanks for looking!

zentangle #26

I have been working on this zentangle for a few days… in between work and trying to get my daughters scrap book done. She is 21 today….. Can't believe how fast it goes by… I am still trying to get her book done still. We are having a party on Saturday and I will give her what I have done. I will attempt to do another zentangle in between work, piano recital , finishing my project and preparing for a birthday party. At least tomorrow is my "Friday" at work and then I am on vacation for a week woot woot as they say! Thanks for looking!

Zentangle #25

It is a snowy day here today… my labs are like little kids locked up on a rainy day… Need to buy some more tennis balls to play catch when we go out side. Did take a nice walk… I like the snow cuz you don't get all wet like the rain…. Well this zentangle took me a few days to finish. Between work and working on my daughter's birthday present (which I have been having fun doing). I made a fun invitation for her party…. She would were that dress almost everyday. It is funny how you can get attached to one thing. Getting ready to put up my Christmas decorations…. Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Here is my creativeness for today… this is my 24th zentangle. I started getting a cold on Thursday and finally today I felt good enough to draw. I have been working on the computer doing my daughters scrapbook. It's hard to work on because she has moved back home and I have to minimize all the time so she doesn't see anything when she pops in…. Well hopefully more time to draw this week…. Thanks for looking.

zentangle #23

I started this 2 nights ago and finished last night.  When I started it I was looking at my kaleidoscope quilt that I made lay across my lap and thought ummm zentangle…. Well off to work, wanted to post this…. Thanks for looking!
