I hope you all had a nice long weekend, if you were lucky enough to have one. Here in Saskatchewan we were celebrating Family Day.
The boys' home made valentines from last week were a great success. Chewie hand stamped and then hand wrote a card for each of the kids in his class. It was perfect, his design was so simple and the sentiment was his. What a creative kid.
Artoo opted to make one giant multicoloured masterpiece and then we cut it down into ATC sized cards for his classmates. They were a big hit at the valentine's day party in his school.
B-rad surprised me with pink roses and a funny card - he totally gets me.
Artoo had his first big dentist appointment in years, and i was super stressed out about it because the last trip to the dentist was so traumatic for him (and for me). But he was amazing, and he cooperated with the dentist and she was even able to get his dental xrays done!! unbelievable.
His teeth were clean and healthy, so we celebrated with a giant chocolate chip cookie, as you do.
such a happy boy |

You may have seen this tangle out and about in the internets lately. Back in November, Zentangle HQ released a few new tangles at their CZT Retreat ZenAgain. Well, on Valentine's Day the latest Zentangle Newsletter came out with the Step-outs for the new tangle Waybop.

Love your Waybop, Laura, and the fun cards the boys made. So sorry they are under the weather and hope they are both well soon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Wayboptile. In Belgium we don't have a family-day but that's very nice and so lovely to get roses from B-rad and funny cards from the kids. I wish them a quick recovery!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, very nice work on your WayBop tile. Fancy, very fancy. I am glad the boys are pretty much ok, hope they are feeling better soon. Yesterday when you didn't post your challenge, I was worried something very bad had happened. I didn't know Canada had a holiday for Family Day. Now I understand. Thanks for all you do for us Zentanglers. Have a happy week.
ReplyDeleteYup Laura, that is a beautiful tile and I'm sending the boys good health karma. I so enjoyed this challenge and had hoped you'd challenge us with Waybop. I added Auraknot to it and was very pleased with the result and the endless possibilities it conjured up.
ReplyDeleteI hope the boys are better soon so they can enjoy their break - and so can you. Loved their valentine cards. And I'm enjoying the Challenge this week, there's a lot of potential in this pattern I feel.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile! Hope your boys get better soon!
ReplyDeletethis was so fun!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved your boys' Valentine's cards! They are so sweet and creative. Thanks for the challenge - Waybop is becoming my new favourite tangle. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying experimenting with Waybop love to the boys and you!
