Weekly Challenge #7 | Breathe

This is an awesome challenge for us tanglers this week from Laura at I am the Diva Challenge Blog. Being a partaker of yoga, I completely follow Laura's logic and made myself comfortable in my zone, put on some music, lit a little nag champa incense and proceeded to b.r.e.a.t.h.e. Very relaxing and at the same time totally stimulated to create my tangle! I hope you enjoy it! I made a point to use a lot of new-to-me tangles that I've barely used in...

Samantha's Dragonoligist Party | 2010

My nearly 4 year old expressed to me that for her 4th birthday she would like a Dragon Party.

So began the planning for a not just a party but an event! I take pride every year in creating unique one of a kind invitations for my children's parties and knew that this party...
