There really is a 3 here

Without much sleep, sinuses/allergies rampant and day 3 with a meeting on the horizon, my tangles certainly reflect my state of mind. Hopefully, I can untangle those brain cells before I begin talking about 'how to use a Mac'.

Day Two and already feeling the effects

Every year I know this first week is brutal. I just am not in 'teaching' shape. Light weights, being active all summer, even getting the room ready and 'movin' all that 'stuff' doesn't get me in shape for this! So, here's to day TWO, at least I'm relaxed and untangled!

First day of school! Ready, set, HOT DOG!

If you watch my video on FB, you'll understand (maybe) why the HOT DOG! As Caleb was learning to swim this summer, he'd add 'special' words to the event. Most times, they made no sense. But, it was his enthusiasm about what he was doing, that caught my teacher's ears/eyes. So I dedicate this school year to a HOT DOG year!
This tangle is based on the number 1, for the first day of school. I'm wanting to improve my letter writing (and I have a long way to go) so for a while, I expect numbers/letters to be showing up in my tangles.

Have a wonderful school year!

Sweet Saturday!

Even tho' it's not a school day, I felt the need to tangle today's joy! A little shopping, a little work, a little nap (hopefully) and a little night life at the Denton County Fair (to include tornado taters and a strawberry crepe), and some sweet night music. Hot! Have a great weekend!

Black Friday? No! Bright white to start the weekend!

Looking for a tile this morning and only had black ones close by. Made me think of "Black" Friday, but I don't see this as the last day of summer, last day before school starts (again) or anything remotely 'dark'. I do see this as bright, white, new students, new learning and LOTS of new opportunities. Like learning about a white gelly roll pen on black paper, this new school year will be BRIGHT WHITE. I CAN make it so!!!!

Diva's Challenge

In response to the Diva's Weekly Challenge, here is my submission. Tile in a tile, but I missed the rounded edges part. Seems I really went with a lot of lines on this one. Could you analyze a tile like a dream? What do the pattens chosen on a certain day represent? Bet that's a good question for Rick!

Starting (and continuing) the new trial

I try to do a tangle a day...it keeps the stress away. Usually that happens in the morning. So, I decided my 2011 school year resolution was to do a tangle a day IN THE MORNING!

That's usually from 545-615am. This morning I had an email from a teacher friend with 50 typography examples that were SO GREAT! I decided to use some text in mine (boy do I need to practice!) So, here's yesterday's first back to school tangle and today's "Dream". I wish for this school year is to DREAM BIG!
