Day 2.... and some tips on the Linkey thing

Good morning!
Everyone get some sleep? Work out yesterday? stop eating cookies for breakfast? Oh.. that might just be me that needed to stop doing that. :D Most importantly, did you CREATE something!?!?!?

So yesterday got us off to a GREAT start. We had a dozen people post in the linkey, several people tag me on instagram and pinterest and a coupel email me stuff!
I'm going to create a board on pinterest that will include the artwork that doesn't make it to the linkey that I will share in a weekly post.
Now, about sharing... I don't want to clog up everyone's facebook feeds and stuff by posting all the time to all my groups and stuff, so I'd like to encourage you to invite your friends to join in and let them know about it if you want. The more the merrier!!!! I'll post on all my social media periodically too, but I don't want to get all spammy.

Little note: If you sign up for email alerts it should give you a reminder daily when I post.

I'm kind of all over today... YIKESsorry, I don't know if I need MORE tea or less. I'm going to say more. The answer to tea is always yes.


Ok, so here's what I got done yesterday (and this morning!) in my Tangle a day calendar. I've decided to try for a light/dark theme, where I do each tangle in a lighter and darker version. I really like the way it turned out yesterday, today... eh... not so sure. The really good thing about the calendar is I have to kind of just deal with it. I'll learn to love it.
And here's the starting page of my journal!
I do like this. It's pretty simple... but I wanted it that way. It has a blue and green watercolor wash and then just a fun design.

I also made dinner but I didn't take any "food porn" pictures last night! Today I already did my tangle, and I kind of have a busy day so sadly I don't know how much more I'll get done.. but we'll see right?

I can't wait to see what you all have for me today!

I know a few people were having trouble with the linkey, so here's a bit of a tutorial. I don't know how good it is... but if you have trouble please let me know and we'll figure it out together

Ok! That's it for today! Have a great one! Do something awesome! :) Share it!
HEY! TGIF!! :D

  4. OK. I decided I'm not going to post on my blog every day, but I have created a Flickr album, and I will probably post a week's worth of stuff at a time on the blog. Today's piece is a celtic knot in which I tried three different colouring schemes, using the three different sets of grey Prismacolor pencils, Cool greys, French greys, and Warm greys.

    1. Nice! I know it's hard to decide how to showcase stuff on blogs, etc. I think that's a great way to do it!

  5. How do I link a pinterest board? When I try to on the linky machine it says the url must have a #39 on it. I don't understand. Sorry so many questions

  8. I'm going with Zentangle's no stress approach: whatever I can do in that day is perfect. It might be a whole tile, or more. It might just be learning a new tangle. It might even be trying a new tangle and not yet getting it to work very well. Or it might not even be a tangle, it might be singing or writing.

    Whatever: I am thrilled with the challenge to be creative every day.

    1. Janet, can you link each day on the individual days posts? If you look at the top where it says Whimsy by Kelly, in hte pages, click there it will take you to the main blog, each days post should be the most recent :)
