Round and Round

and round – that’s how my “Circle Journal” will go this year.  Actually I have two  for 2012– one with my yaya girlfriends and one with my blog girlfriends.  One is a “Blue Book”  - we each chose a song with blue in the title – mine is “Blue Moon”.  Have you ever counted how many songs have blue in the title? There’s tons.  Last month we met at LaVerne’s house and this month I’m having a Valentine party to work in them.  Even for a Book of Blue you need  pink in an invitation for a holiday steeped in pink and by the way if you were here you’d be invited, too! 

 And for my other journal I chose to have a book of poems or quotes. We could choose whatever theme and color we wanted so true to you my Pink Saturday friends I had to have a pink cover!  And for some reason this year I became fascinated with several new things. Owls for one and Zentangling!  So I zentangled my way through my book of Wise Words with a wise old owl.   I forgot to take a picture of my finished book before I sent it on its way but here it is almost done and not bound.

I love this little owl guy. This is before I got my new set of pens…

and these are my pages  after my pens arrived.  I love the idea of forming an image by just breaking it down into shapes and patterns…does that even make any sense.  (Again this is before I finished this.)

Honestly, I could just Zentangle all day! (Part of another page.)

And then zentangle some more!  My “Blue Moon” cover…I hung the moon by a zentangle … sounds like a song in itself!

Here’s a book I bought from Amazon in case you, too, become “zenchanted”!

For now I need to zentangle my way out of this post as I have an early morning date with an estate sale.  

Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for getting this little soirée going each week.  Do stop by to see her

for some pink inspiration!  xoxo Nancy
