Zentangle Art Project
I did it! I finally put pen to paper and started my first piece. I finally got my ideas together in my head, and did some doodles on scrap paper, and now I'm working on the real thing. I'm a little short on ideas for how to incorporate color into these, as I'm not used to using color with Zentangle - for some pieces I've got it all lined up, others not so much. But I really want to use color with these. How is everyone else doing?

I finished them and really enjoyed making them. I had some anxious moments where I wasn't sure what direction I was going in but I just had faith in the process and followed my muse... not to be too New Age or anything. However, I keep forgetting to mail them... I incorporated some color and enjoyed doing so .

I also want to add how much I appreciated how much freedom there was in this project in regard to options.

I've made a couple of practice pieces and I think I've finally figured out which one(s) I like best.
You know I like to over achieve and make many. However, with this move in a few weeks and working 48+ hours...I will need to sleep. Lol!

I had to scrap a few of my first tries (sucks when you put a lot of work in) because my concept was a little complex for me lol. You know when you get something in your mind and then find it's kinda harder than it seemed lol. But ultimately I achieved it to a passable extent lol.

Dear Pen Pal Friends,
I have made a gross overestimation in my capabilities. I had no idea there would be so many doctor's appointment and procedures before my actual day of surgery.I am so very busy - and admittedly, also so very tired - that I have neglected to send you my address for you to forward your projects to. Fortunately, nycfem has graciously agreed to take over wrangler duties for this project. I'm sure she will contact you soon with her mailing address. Please send you projects directly to her, and she will redistribute them. I will also add my name at the bottom of the list and take myself off of projects for the next six months. I will miss you guys and our projects so much! But I'm sure I will drop in to say hello, as well as seeing you around BFP in other threads. I'm sorry for this snafu, and I hope it doesn't inconvenience any of you. I also hope you are enjoying your art projects! Best Regards, GeorgiaMa'am

Crafters!!!
I have been unpacking my craft stuff. My mind is a wondering. I thought of a holiday project, that can open doors to other creative peeps. What about a fav holiday recipe? Not just a cookie, but a dessert, or a drink or even a jello mold. Think about it....anyone interested?

Depending on the parameters, ie. a decorated recipe card styled project, I would like to participate. I await the details should this project start up. Deb

Good morning, crafty Peeps!
I have a (sort of) crafting dilemma that I hope everyone can contribute some ideas to. I have a medium-sized extended family, and we're not going to be able to get together in person for Christmas like we usually do. It's just too risky - I'm immunocompromised, there are little kids, elderly people. We're all agreed that it's just not going to happen this year, and a Zoom dinner isn't going to cut it. (My weirdo family doesn't talk during meals - it would just be streaming camera of all of us chewing our food.) But what can we do, that would take into account that different people will want to do different things and have different capabilities? A couple of ideas I had: - Some people could write newsy Christmas cards and mark on the outside "Do Not Open Til December 25" - Some people could assemble boxes of gifts and mail them to the different households. Maybe we could Zoom the opening of presents. - We could reserve December 25th for making phone calls to each other (and other friends and family, too). These ideas seem really straightforward and not very festive though. I want to bring all age groups into it (we have ages 2 through 90). Keep in mind we would have to get started on this right away, since if the post office is involved, stuff should probably get there no later than November 30. I want something whimsical, that maybe only I could do - but how could I encourage other people to be whimsical in their own way? And - number one - how can I keep this and make it sound LOW EFFORT? My family doesn't get jollied into projects very easily. The trade off is that we will not be travelling three hours each way to see each other in person. I would like to avoid the route of exchanging Christmas cards with just the name signed inside and a gift card included. You know what I mean. So hopefully now your creative juices are flowing. Please post any ideas you have here for me. And if I can offer feedback on any ideas you have for your own family gatherings, I will be very happy to do so - just let me know. Happy Merry Merry, Georgia

Holidays across the miles ....
Due to living internationally for many years (and having family spread across Canada) my family has one person ‘host’ a video. We frequently have 20+ groups (1 to 7 persons) that use a phone to make a video and send it to the host who then uploads it to an album on Facebook. We all receive the link late on December 24th. Throughout the next 48 hours we add photos, more videos, etc., and then start adding recipes as there are always food photos. It’s been a great way to stay in touch....it also has been a great way to remember those who are no longer with us and welcome new additions to the family.
Deb
