I decided to try a little Zentangling (is that a word?) Zentangle is a popular new way to doodle. It is supposed to be relaxing. I found it frustrating. My sister in law makes beautiful Zentangle projects. She even has some for sale in her etsy shop, The Purple O. She is taking a little break for summer to spend time with her kids.
Anyway, it was frustrating for me because even though I know it's not supposed to be perfect, I do not have a steady hand for doodling. I am sharing my first try, mistakes and imperfections included.

Zentangling is relaxing when you relax and let your pen do the flowing. You my darling have created an awesome pattern. I never would have believed it was your first attempt. I love the way it mirrors the sun in the digi image. Just fantastic Julie. I LOVE it!.Thanks for sharing it with Sassy Cheryls Challenge.
This is a beautiful creation with great details and perfect for our ‘GIRLY/FEMININE’ challenge. Such a cute image too. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Good luck.
