The Letter H

Happy Halloween....  

Since today is such an H Day... I better jump ahead to H... 

 H in my life stands for my Daughter... Heather Amy...  for happy, health, holly, 

and the list will go on and on...  
Hey.. if you have any suggestions... please leave me a comment...  I will add your word if it applies to me too...  

This is going to be so very much fun... and I would LOVE your help and input on this book... 

Here is another H.... I have so much fun creating these letters that I had to create more...  LOL... 
Do you think I am obsessed???  

 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN....  

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie  

The Letter D

D.... oh what ever could D stand for...  

 Well for me... DAISIES... my very favorite flower...  

I didn't put any in here... but the next D will have quite a few... love them... and how about dandelions...  

Dandelions are an excellent food for spring time... nature always gives us what we need and also when we need it... amazingly so...  

 So this TIA is really all about ME... I love Daisies, the number 6... (6 daisies), leaves are for the love of life... and the snail.. well I love snails too, and purple Dragonflies... an the colors... favorite are lime, purple and teal...  and how about the yellows... for the sun that gives us life...  love it all... the layers of life that we all have... and the swirling of each and every day....  and yet life is all around us... right???  so very much all around us...  

 After I finished drawing it, and colored it with my watercolor pencils, I was sitting there a  little too lazy for anything...  so I started to draw underneath it... and wanted to share that with you too...  I guess I will have to do something with that for the letter S.... or V... for the violets...  but anyway... another letter... another day...  right... 




 D...  I know that you know a lot more things with the letter D... leave me one that I can write about for my book...  

Thanks for all the looks and visits...  love them all... have a great delicious DAY...  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie   

Happy Monday

Happy Monday to one and all... and I hope that this is a Happy Monday for everyone... I know that along the Eastern Coast here in the USA we are having a massive Super storm... and way over here in Western NC where we were not suppose to have anything we have been having very high winds...  and have all night long... actually I have never heard wind blow this high for as long as it has...  so please if you are living in these areas, please be very careful in all ways...  

I took this morning and did the Challenge that the Diva gave to us...  LOL... you have to do these... dont' you???  It is a necessary Monday Morning thing...  at least here it is... and sometimes it might get finished... but I do think about how I am going to do it, when I do find the paper and pen in my area...  

Well this morning the house was buzzing with all kinds of activity...  but I did find a quiet corner and tangled...  YEAH!!!! 

The challenge today was to use the newest tangle called Bunzo!!!!  

So after copying it and then trying it on a scrap paper... I was off and going at it... I decided to use a 8.5 X 11 paper... so this  is not the normal 3.5 X 3.5  tile...  abut I did have a lot of fun... and it came out a little more fussie than I wanted it to... but I do like it...  You know I have to have flowers anyway...  and they tend to make things a little fussie anyway.. I just might add to this... but at this time, I am finished...  
   

 I am also doing the Alphabet... and will release one letter a day.. between Tuesday and Friday... this poor letter got put aside... as our life got a little hectic around here last week... but hopefully it is starting to calm down now...  we will see...  

I love this tangling stuff... and cant get enough of it..  I have so many pieces to share with you... hope you will enjoy them all...  

Thanks for stopping by today...  and hope that your day is uneventful in any negative way... and totally positive in all ways...  
Enjoy your creativeness in as many ways as possible...  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 
 

Zendala Saturday

Well, I didn't really have too much time during the day to TANGLE... but last night I relaxed  a little bit and played...  so here are my two zendalas....  


Every Saturday Erin from the BRIGHT OWL post a fun Mandala to create with tangling.. and this weeks was really enjoyable... I love doing these anyway... but this weeks was really fun... Thanks Erin...  

So sorry though, Erin, that you don't feel good.. .that is not fun...  hope you are feeling better soon...  and can tangle... not feeling like tangling is not a good sign at all...  

My first one that I played with I wanted it to look regal...  and have a crown effect in the center...  and of course you know how much I love flowers... so I had to fill in the areas with flowers and more flowers...  


 

 Then I had another zendala printed... so I had to fill it in... why wouldn't I????  

I put the tangle Exinside there...  and then filled in around it...  
really had fun with this...  


Hope you have a wonderful Sunday... and that you can tangle to your hearts content... but also enjoy the weather...  I am keeping my fingers crossed that the hurricane leaves the Northeast safe and that it goes out to sea...  I have way too much family up there to be in this kind of mess...  Be safe if you live up there... 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and hope you will visit my blog during the week... as from Tuesday thru Friday I am releasing my alphabet soup...  which is my tangled alphabet.. . I have released a few... and it will continue until December...  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  

The Letter B

The letter B.... a favorite of mine in so many ways...  

 My name begins with a B... so does our sons name... Brett.   

And all the other things that B stand for... the beauty of the earth, Bells, blossoms, blue, beads, and the list goes on and on...  you get the idea...  

So with come of the letters I have just done a TIA... Tangling in Art piece...  as here... 

 And with this one, another type of free form... but in a square...  

Nothing is static... allow yourself to be free... it is BEAUTIFUL...  

Thanks for stopping by... 
Have a really BOUNTYfull day... and become YOU!!!  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  

The Alpha bet...

I finally finished the Alphabet and realized that I am going to make a book from the letters...  This is why and how I am going to do it...  

I have made each letter...  TANGLED of course... and it is in a plastic sheet protector...  and behind it is a piece of cardstock...  and I made them all soft sage greens...  and the letter is on the right hand side of the book... and then on the left hand side there will be other little papers with different thoughts of that letter... like a memory book... things that are from my past, present and future...  I am going to make the page on the left with rows of pockets.. when I get one done, I will post it...  

Anyway... if I show you all these at once you would get spoiled... so I will be releasing one a day... on Tuesday thru Friday... each week until the first week in December... not that far away... scary isn't it...  
 I will also post them all on a new blog after that ... so you can see them all together...  

I happen to love tangling and feel that the relaxing part of tangling is just as important as the actual learning of it...  Love it all though...  

Hope you enjoy each of these letters...  

Here is the letter A 

 So I have added some tangles on this one that begin with the letter A also...  
Like Auroknot, Afterglo, Angel fish, auroleaf....  of course there have to be some that are not A's... as  I also need to tangle freely... in all ways...  

And just because this one is in black and white... I also needed to do one in Color... 

  
 and also a little bit different...  

So here is another a... also in lower case...   
Having fun is what Tangling needs to be and do for YOU...  Enjoy the entire process...  

Hope you have a great day... enjoy the moments all the time...  and Thanks so much for stopping by and also for all the comments that you so often leave too... I really love them all... 
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 

Triangles and Stripes... Yikes!!!!

Another tile... and this time I added the stripes into triangles!!!  Just a little bit different...  and they came out pretty good...  I used patterns that have a way of not blending together... but that was done so that you could see the end of each triangle...  

Anyway... just the way it is...  

This is another try at the DIVA's challenge this week.. . 
I really had fun with this.. now I have to get some things done... have been doing alot ... but sit to take a break... and did this one...  no more breaks...   LOL...  

 This picture came out really light... so I might re-do this later... but right now... I have to do a few other things...  

Thanks for taking a look at this...  I really had fun with it...  

Do you TANGLE???  
Give it a try... very relaxing and enjoyable... and I should add ADDICTIVE!!!!!   

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie  

Stripes it IS!!!!

Today being Monday... it is I AM THE DIVA Day...and today Laura has asked us to do STRIPES..... wow... that is fun... a whole new idea for me...  using different tangles to create a stripe is really a fun thing...  

Well... without anymore ado... here is mine...  

 I have been working on different tangles and find that mixing them up is a lot of fun...  

Also looking at different architecture in cities is a fun place to get some of these tangles...  

Hope that you have a great day...  and thanks so very much for stopping by and for all the great comments that you all are leaving... I love them all... THANKS a million... 

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  

Tangles in strings and zendalas....

I really needed to be able to sit down and tangle today... it has been a very hectic week... so I REALLY... REALLY......... REALLY!!!!! Needed to TANGLE...  Yes...  

And so I did...  

First off I did the 23 String that Linda released today... wow... I had a nice warm up with that .... love it...  it is going into my STRING book and collection...  

 I really had fun with this one... I tried a few new things... and experienced a lot of knowledge from that...  

I love shading... so this was a fun one to shade...  

 Then I went onto Erin's  28th Zendala.... wow... when I first downloaded the site...  

THE BRIGHT OWL 
and first saw the zendala for this week... I saw hearts... so I had to get those in there...  it is called flyte... in is in Sandy's book and I also got her other book called Yoga for the Brain... love that one too... you can find the other ones in that book... Becki and Statue...  

Adding a little of this and a little of that... I got it all filled in... and of course I have to say I love it...  do you say that about everyone that you do???  Only until you do the next one... LOL... than that one is the favorite...   so funny...  

 

 I was not tired, so I started another one... and this one is pretty simple in comparison to the others.... but I have to say I love it...  LOL...  loving color as I do it really stands out with these colors...  

What fun...  

This one might go into my zendala journal... as it is pretty and I have a particular page in mind...  I will have to see how it looks...  

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and enjoy the rest of the week-end...  hope it is a happy one for you...  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 

More Beads of Courage and LOVE

I am tangling all the time... in between things that are going on around here...  and always do enjoy myself and the freedom of the pen and paper...  but I really enjoy going out of the BOX in some ways...  like with this tile... 

First off it is 5x5... and then I drew a string... and I think you can very easily see the string... as I made it like a tube...  a long tube with a bead at the end...  and then I started to fill in the areas that the string created...  

Well... some had to go into the next area...  oh MY!!!  and then some had to be divided and have rows of things...  and then the snail wanted to be seen...  and so he slowly but surely came into the tile...  

I love the FREEDOM of Tangling...it is so very rewarding... 

 This is for the Divas Challenge this week where she is asking for us to draw beads.... and for a very SPECIAL cause too... 

I do hope you will check this one out... it is really a very loving and special cause that you might need to know about so that you can help someone join in on this...


As you can see I have these beads hanging down...  as they are dangling in the sun and gaining energy to send love to little ARTOO who is going to be 2...  Happy Birthday Little Man...  

Well... thanks for stopping by and also want to remind you to have a special day... and to enjoy all that you do...  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  


  

 

Beads of COURAGE and LOVE for Artoo

Happy Monday... 

Today is going to be a wonderful day... in all ways... I am full of energy and happy to be able to do all I can do...  one of those things is to tell you that I have another place to go see some of my newest Zentangles...   it is called Strings Galore!!!   and all you have to do is click on the Strings Galore and it will take you there...  I have finished all the Strings...  so now I am ready for some more...  ????  

Linda, of Tangle Patterns,  really has kept on this... and now we have a grand total of 22 strings... all of which are really GREAT...  So take a look see... and let me know what you think... I really love some of them...  more than others... I tried to use a lot of new tangles too... as I get in ruts... do you????  I guess we all do... 

Well... now here is a another challenge...  It's from the DIVA herself...  and here it is... take a look on the site for all the details and also to see what everyone else has created...  (I sure do wish I could see all the tiles...  dial up has to be from the 19th century... and I am hoping that we get something a little bit faster some day.)  

Today's challenge has a really remarkable story all around it and within it... and after I read it, I tried to write a comment on I AM THE DIVA... but these computers are giving me a very severe headache...  (the count on your blog, Laura, will most likely come back... mine all went last night too...  but today they are back... turn your machine off and reboot it...  )   

Anyway... back to the story on hand..  I love beads... I love paper.. so I have combined both many years ago and make a lot of my own beads to use on cards, books, projects of all kinds...  so I would like to send some to you Laura, so that you can use them for all the wonderful things that your little man will do over the next few years... so please send me your snail mail address so that I can send some to you...  I love to share and love to help with any healing process ....  

But I have to tell you the part of this that really is beautiful...  I finished reading the I AM THE  DIVA  site... and all the things that Laura wrote... and I opened up the Word document on my computer and wrote this...  


 

When we are in need, the best place to go is inward.. not outward… the inner journey is the most important one and always a little bit harder to face at times… but always more rewarding than any. 

The Hopes and Dreams of your life can be yours as the Windows of the Soul open up… and all the beauty within will be yours and will be like a crest of a wave…  and take you to a distant land thru a guiding light..  and give you the deepest sense of peace you have ever experienced… it will be just like after a fresh rain… the peace and beauty of life.  

So rest assured that you can make this journey for YOU and enjoy it all thru the Windows of your soul…  

I do hope that you all have a wonderful peaceful loving day and week... and will remember these thoughts each and every time things get a little hectic in your life...  and then go TANGLE...  

Speaking of which... please take a look at a new page...  it is my FINISHED 22 Strings .... I finally finished  them... and it was an inward journey of love and peace for me... in so many wonderfully rewarding ways...  I love tangling... and love the  journey I am on in this Earth Walk... and thank each and every one of you for sharing your comments and love with me.. I wish I could comment to each of you on your blog... but please except my love from the center of my heart ... I love you all...  

Okay...  now for the Challenge...  I have to tell you something else prior to you looking at these.... I drew these last night at about 11PM EST...  And Laura didn't post the challenge until much later on, the next day....??? So I guess these were meant to be for you LAURA!!!  

BEADS OF COURAGE.... 

 This is a bead as it is being made with paper... but I added many more.. as I love to make these beads in multiple... I use a piece of paper that I make from painting, or from a computer digital image that I have colored etc... but there are many beads... and each one made with LOTS and LOTS of love...  and only used in very special ways....  

So Beads of COURAGE and LOVE...  

Last Night I must have known that you were going to do this 

Challenge with the beads... as this is another one that I did...  and I think it is perfect for YOU, Laura...A bracelet of Love and Courage due to all that you display to yourself and your family each and every day of your life...  

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and please take a look at these other sites and enjoy your visits there too...  

Hope you have a WONDERFULLY GREAT Day...  

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie  

Black and White Zendalas today!!!

Today is another busy day on the Farm... and I took the morning to get all my stuff done, so that I could play for a while... which is just about all that I got... A LITTLE WHILE... but I had a lot of fun while I was playing... so that is what counts...  

Erin, I  LOVE this zendala...  really great...Erin of The Bright OWL is going to be starting Nursing school soon, and asked us to be nice to her... as she might not be able to get all the zendalas published as she does now...  Well Erin ... .that all depends... LOL...  WE might be...  !!!!    

Actually I think you will make out fine...  school will be fun and very educational...  and it sounds like you have a great cheering gallery behind you...  we are all also behind you... so don't forget that...  I know that if you need help I am sure that any of us will certainly do the challenge for that week...  not a problem..  so rely on me to help please...   I am a little addicted to these things...  
Ahem...  ahem... ahem.... ( clearing of my throat!!!)

Speaking of being addicted...  I couldn't do just one of these this week... I just sat and played until they brought me things that I had to do... did them and went right back to tangling more...  what fun...  

WE are picking/digging sweet potatoes today...  they will be cured and ready for market in late November early December...  they are so pretty when they come out of the ground.. . some are huge this year..  Love harvest days... so many hands make work light...  

So here are my three zendalas...  

 Growing up, I lived on Oak Tree Lane... so I always think of acorns in the fall of the year... my dear Dad use to say that the squirrels would sit up there and roll them down the roof to make noise... LOL..  he had a love/hate relationship with the squirrels in the neighborhood!!!  And he also had one that would come and eat out of this hand ...  true love hate relationship.   

 

 I just had fun filling in these other two zendalas...  with all kinds of things... I love the girlande as a wreath... and the shells around the flowers...  

(Love snails and flowers... in case you didnt know ...)  

 
 Used the Presswood and tried to make it look like it went behind the hearts... which are attached to the top and anchored into the center of the zendala...  I really had fun with this zendala this week...  maybe it is because it is a beautiful day... and now I am going to go start to put away some of the bushel baskets...  we have over 60 waiting for me to get into place around the old wood stove...  wow... great harvest this year...  

Hope you are having a wonderful day... enjoying the weather.. no matter what it is...  and thanks for stopping by for a visit...  

See you soon... 
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie  
 

One of those days... Fall is here!!!!

Today has been one of those days that is very fulfilling and fun… I have totally enjoyed this day…  the past 6 weeks have been horrible here… we have had an infestation of MITES!!!  If you have ever had fleas… mites are 10 times worse… as you can’t see them at all… and when they BITE… it feels like a HUGE DRAGON taking a bite out of your flesh!!!  Not fun… they are in everything… I have done over 50 loads of wash in the past week… as it is one way to keep things going…  you get bit, you take your clothes off… put them into the washer… and go get a hot hot shower… and then clean clothes again… YIKES…  one day I had the same sweater on three times… and each time it had come out of the dryer…  Oh yes inbetween all this… our dryer broke!!!  And the main drain pipe that takes the water out from a little bathroom, WASHER and kitchen sink also got clogged…. WOW… sounds like a nightmare huh??? Well it was… 

But we are on the other side now… we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel… Glenn and I are still not in our bedroom… we are sleeping in a guest room.. on a smaller bed… and no curtains at the windows…  and it is loud with dogs barking all night long… and the sun!!!  coming up so early…  and all these funny things all night long.. when we are in our nice cozy bedroom down stairs it is cozy and dark, and QUIET!!!!  

Anyway… yesterday Glenn went out and dug up 20 bushel baskets of Sweet Potatoes… the first of 80 plus…  he has the next couple of weeks to harvest them, prior to a heavy frost coming in… 

He also harvest some Green Peppers, RED PEPPERS,  and okra… which he has been harvesting for the past 8 weeks now… our okra TREES are over 12 feet tall… and still producing quite a lot…  

 These peppers are now waiting to turn RED... they will do that in the warmth of the house... a few days and I will have to process all these into that yummy recipe that you will find on my GOOD EATING  blog...  

Anyway… I wanted to share with you some things… so please go to my cooking blog for the recipes…  

Here is another picture of the inside of a sweet potato... and the  red peppers...that I  roasted...  

Behind this you can see the large mason jars... (4 gallons in size ) that we make our kombucha and vinegars in...  

WE also grind a lot of things by hand too... 

Of course we love pickled okra too... YUMMMM  .

I hope that you will check out the recipes and let me know how you like them... there are some delicious cookies there too... oh so very good...  

Have a fun day... and I will talk to you all soon.. .
I am busy tangling in between too... so maybe tomorrow I will share some of the STRINGS I have been working on...  I even sat out side and got a little sun and tangled while the sun was still out!!!  LOVED it...  a mini vacation... 

Thanks for stopping by... and see you tomorrow... 

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 

Strings

Yesterday was Thanksgiving in Canada... Happy Thanksgiving to all of you... Hope that you had a very enjoyable day...  Delicious Turkey.... love it...  

Well so because it was Thanksgiving our I AM A DIVA challenge is Today!!!  Tuesday...  and this week it is STRINGS.... 

I love to work on strings... when time allows me to...  
Because at times I get stuck in the car waiting at Home Depot or Lowes... I always take something to play with... knitting is always in the car... as are different books that I will grab to take with me...  

Strings is one of those books...  a grab and on the go book!!!  I also have one for the ABC's that I am working on...  I am showing it to you, so that if you are having trouble getting all these done... it is a nice way to work on them, when you have the time... I also grab it when I want to watch tv...  actually I listen and TANGLE....  

 Each notebook has a label on it...  so it is easy to 

GRAB  AND GO...  

 When you open the book up there is a plastic pocket page that I put a set of pens...  a pencil to draw the STRING... and also a graphite shading pencil... and blending tool...  

 Each page has  a piece of card stock and this particular book has VIOLET... a favorite color of mine...  

This is page one...  and I have not printed out the string... 

 As on page 3 you can see the thumbprint of #3 String... and then the actual tangle that I created using that particular string..  

I love it... nice and easy and compact and ready to GO...  

 Okay... 
So this week the DIVA..  finished her Thanksgiving Day Dinner... and decided that this was going to be the Challenge this week... and to start off with #1 String... 

You can find all the strings HERE.... as well as all the TANGLE Patterns... 

I really had fun doing this one...   as I had already done one in August when I started to work on this book...  (which is below... )  
Strings are fun... but I dont' always use one...  sometimes I will just start to play...  a blank piece of paper doesn't scare me at all..  

Sometimes I will add color to paper... like  this one above, prior to even drawing the string...  I use my worksheet and put inks on it... and then spritz with a  fine mist... and apply the paper to pick up the inks...  I love to see what comes out on the paper... sometimes I HAVE to do a few to feel satisfied about this...  LOL...  I love playing... can you tell..  

Okay... enough BLAH BLAH BLAHing...  Thanks for stopping by and hope that you have a fun day playing too... it is overcast and trying to rain...  so it is a good day to fool around in the studio... but maybe I will do some more cleaning...  never can tell...  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 

 

Twinkle, Twinkle Halloween

BOO !!!  
Happy Halloween is right around the corner...  
and here we are at Altered Alice doing it for the whole month...  YEAH...  so much fun...  

 

CHAPTER 20: Twinkle like a Bat, Shine like a Tea Tray!

...it was at the great concert given by the Queen of Hearts, and I had to sing "Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!How I wonder what you're at!"You know the song, perhaps?' `I've heard something like it,' said Alice. `It goes on, you know,' the Hatter continued, `in this way:-- "Up above the world you fly,Like a tea-tray in the sky.Twinkle, twinkle--"'-- Chapter 7, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Just like the Mad Hatter's song, we want you to create something that twinkles or shines; bats are optional! Think bling, metal, glitter, mirror card; the possibilites are endless! Some of the design team will be using some very unusual Alice-inspired designs. Just like you dress up for Halloween and take on another persona, these racy images have Alice and other characters all grown up and taking a walk on the wild side!

Our sponsor this month is Smeared Ink, home of edgy, wild and fun designs in rubber and digital forms has released a Wonderland Collection; images are available individually or as a set. The randomly-chosen winner of this month's challenge will receive a $15 shopping spree in their online store.

Enter your project by Friday, October 25 for a chance at the shopping spree. As always, multiple entries are encouraged (after all, this is a monthly challenge) but each entry must be on a separate post. All projects that meet the challenge criteria are welcome, but entries that feature Wonderland will have two chances with each project entered instead of one.

 So in order to have Halloween come here... I had to have a pumpkin!!!  So I made one with paper.. . 

I wanted my pumpkin to be a special kind of moving pumpkin... but I also wanted it to look like  ribbed pumpkin... with nice leaves and long vine hanging from it.. 

 I wanted all kinds of leaves on the top... and a nice stem...  

As a small child, I always wanted a nice stem on the pumpkin to hold...  once the pumpkin was cut open and you wanted to put the top back on it... you needed a nice stem...  

 So the pumpkin has 4 sides that open... and each one of the panels shows you a GREAT digital image from our sponsor this month...  

  You can peek under each panel to see a different Halloween scene... aren't these just great???  

Alice is really having some effects from the Mushroom!!!    

But what fun I had adding all kinds of colors to the mushroom with stickles... this pumpkin is one glittery pumpkin...  

Twinkle, Twinkle...  


Also Alices' little bottle and box with a piece of cake are all glittlery too...   

 As you can see, each panel is totally glittery and twinkling...  

Alices' hat, and the skulls eye sockets are all glittlery too..  The bones on the table cloth might look pink... but they are a crystal glitter...  

So wish these pictures showed the pumpkin and the pictures real to life...  

 The roses, and the Queen's dress are all a glitter too... 
What a sexy Queen...  

 And check out this one...  

The Cheshire Cat is really all a glitter too...  with a full moon added with a little glitter.   wow... love the look of this one...  

 I have shown you these digital images alone... but each one is in a separate section of the pumpkin...  and the reason for that, is that each one has eyes cut out so that when in the section, they will look like this one... I have not been able to capture the eyes on camera... but this one did show up...  

Under the pumpkin, I have a little box... and a votive light...  which lights up the entire pumpkin as each section is opened up.. . 

I had so very much fun with these digital images and making the pumpkin...  Halloween will be special this year...  Glenn is going to love these digital images...  that is for sure.  

The Pumpkin Patch

Today being Saturday, it is ZENDALA DAY!!!   And Erin  (of Bright Owl)   has chosen a GREAT theme... FALL and then she added a great mandala to create with... LOVE IT all...  I also love your costume Erin... I have to add Congrats on the 200 followers... and I wish I could say I am one... but with this 'wonderful' dial up, I try to keep things as neat and clean as possible so that I can avail getting onto my own blog easily... LOL... I am a faithful follower... just not counted in your total at this time...  but I am there...  so CONGRATS... 

Also check out all the other entries for this challenge... but you have to go and see Erin's cute costume that she designed and made for Halloween...  so wild... love it Erin...  great creative thinking...  
 

So enough... I have had a very trying week... and I will not bore you with all the horrible details... but I am glad that I have my tangling to help my mind and spirit and soul all where they should be...  LOL...  I love my tangling and my journals.. and everyday I create in them when ever I have 5 minutes or so...it might look like I spend hours doing things... but believe me I don't... 

This week I was again cleaning stuff out of my studio, so I had a lot of papers that I really didn't want to toss.. so I made tags for journal pages...  and here is the proof...  

These two pages are where my Fall Zendala will be living...  for eternity!!!  

I had done the right hand page in July...  I love Fall as the colors are so very vibrant and actually so alive to me... the maple trees around here are florescent in color... the oranges are vivid...  if you used that color people would say that the color is not correct... until they saw the trees with those painted florescent orange leaves... so magnificent and regal.   

So I had to do some pears...  our pear trees didn't bear fruit this year... we have a very large problem with all fruits this year on the farm...  but I still love them.. so I had tangled them... on the left hand side of the journal... I had to make something to go along with this page... so I made a pocket... (since this journal is the journal of Pockets...  )  and but a little camelion on there... as they are running all over our decks and windows now catching the last of the warm sun spots...  they are so cute... 

 

 Here is a closer look at the pear page...  

I even used one of the 12 days of Christmas stamps for the pear page...  
and added a medallion made from tea bags...  

Of course one of my favorite things to draw and to have around me are the flowers of the season.. . 

My firethorn is really going crazy this year... but I am not bringing any of that into our home... too many little buggies on them.. . but they are so very pretty...  I love it..  

So this is the page that I have been playing with today...  

I wanted some nice fall thoughts to go into my fall pocket... so this is what I have so far...  

On the front of the pocket

THOUGHTS of the mind...  

 

Each one of these is for tangling on...  
This tag has not yet gotten anything.. but it will prior to the page being called DONE....  

It is a pretty fall paper that has so many nice gourds and I had to use it...  

 

A smaller tag with some of my favorite golden colored papers...  that I couldn't throw away... so I glued them onto each other to create a tag...  and of course had to tangle and then LIVE IN BALANCE... to remind me to do that...  which I have to be reminded of that each and every day... 

WE seem to be on the go all the time anymore... doing all kinds of things...  again... more scrap paper that I love... love dotted papers... have a huge stack... but this was just a little piece... still... I couldn't get rid of it..  

 I love to do the tangle paradox... because life is truly a paradox... when I first saw this tangle... I really didn't think I would use it that often... but it has become a favorite...  I love to see how many ways I can do them...  so that they create different patterns...  

Each one reflecting the difference just like the differences in each one of us... LOVE IT....  Again on some paper that I just couldn't throw out...  so pretty...   

 Did you ever buy a package of tags... because you loved them..and then never used them???  Oh well we will not talk about that... or how many times I have done that... but I did use one... right here...  and I love the way it turned out... maybe I will even find some more in my general cleaning up of the studio...  so many treasures...  left over from other things...  

 This in on the back of a piece that I used my Tapestry Stamps on... it is a fall wreath on the other side... but then I added this tangle to the other side...  

and a piece of Fall Tinsel from Tim Holtz's fall things...  

I even added pumpkins into this tangle...  Fall is upon us... and people will start arriving in our area to see all the colors on the mountain tops... it is really a very pretty time in the mountains...  

 Then today... Erin had us do a fall Zendala...  I love it...  I love the colors of fall...  the browns... I think that I used over 9 different brown colored pencils on this one...  I love the browns... and the purples, and cranberries... and the yellows, oranges, reds... and of course the greens...  so I put them all on here...  My little Pumpkin Patch zendala...  

Corn, Pumpkins, leaves, purple night skies, with purple clouds... and then the browns... love all the browns...  

 
 Here is this zendala a little bit closer... so you can see more of the detailing of it... it is really a pretty and favorite zendala of mine... but don't we say that about each one we do...  THIS   IS    MY    VERY     FAVORITE ONE      I    HAVE    EVER DONE!!!      And then we create another one... and that one is the favorite until the next one is created... love it all... so much fun... 

Well have a great evening... and talk to you all soon...  
Please check out my blog on Sunday... as my Altered Alice project is also a PUMPKIN... that opens all up...  Alice goes a rocking into Halloween big time... you will love the digitals... hope you will come back to see it...  Thanks for stopping by today... 

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
