Happy Valentine's Day!!

     No excuses.  I could've blogged several times this week.  I should have - so that I didn't have so many things to post.  But face it, I have been lazy.  I went to school this past Monday, then the weather started doing its crazy thing and I got off two days.  Then the rest of the week was winter break.  So I have had several days in a row to perfect my laziness.  I did spend time drawing and doing things on my Cricut, but I just never posted.  So here goes!
     I did two Diane Clancy challenges.  I love those.  I think they are one of my favorites.  We are given 3 letters of the alphabet and have to use tangles that start with those letters.  I used some of the strings from a facebook challenge to put my work on. 

Challenge #44 - MBZ - miander, box it up, and zooloo

Challenge #45 - WIR - whirly, ilana, radio waves

      Another super challenge I participate in is over at Made by Joey.  This week we had to do a yinyang symbol using any tangles we wanted to.  I made a "bobble" in one spot and started to toss it.  But some shading sort of helps hide my brain cramp on this one.  Sort of.

     The That's New to Me challenge #50 had us using a new tangle with the letter K.  I chose kloorz.  I also used ta-da by the feature artist. 

     Diva's challenge was to do a Valentangle!  I used one of the Facebook strings again and put one of those gems inside it.  I love they way they look, even though mine aren't quite as realistic as I would like. 

     And last but not least - well it is least in size - is the piece I did for Every Inchie Monday.  The word was slippers.  They are the first thing I do when I come through the door each day.  Shed those shoes!  My slippers are somewhat old and very beat up, but oh so comfortable.  I can "hear" my feet cheer when I get them on.  Seriously.  I can.

    I hope you are spending Valentine's day with someone you love or at least doing something you love.  I am doing school work when I finish here.  No, I am not complaining.  I have had all those "lazy" days, remember?  And I have one more day of winter break tomorrow.  Besides, I honestly don't mind school work most days.  While this year has been the most difficult I can remember, it has nothing to do with my class, the work, or my colleagues.  I do believe the stress has worked a number on my health.  I am still getting over the bronchitis.  It does linger, doesn't it?
   Have a wonderfully blessed day!  Thanks for dropping by!
