Happy Thanksgiving 2024

I have to say, I absolutely loved the sound of the paper in the video of Maria writing out the thankfulness quote. I also loved listening as well as watching her write. I could almost smell the paper and the ink! I’m very grateful for my art studio which is full of wonderful materials and Zentangle drawings. It has windows on 3 sides and I look out at woods, our bridge, a creek, and often deer, a large hawk, ducks, a groundhog, woodpeckers and lots of birds. I’m also grateful for my husband who worked really hard to get the studio built!

I sat silently, wrapped up in the scratching of your pen across the fibers of the paper, as you wrote these beautiful, heartfelt words. I was grateful I could hear, and see you putting the finishing touches on this lovely work of yours. But mostly I am grateful that your hand is healing so that we can witness your creativity once again.

With much appreciation and gratitude for all the joy you bring to us.

I am grateful for my Bestie, who took me to my first Zentangle Retreat! Forever memories were made and a full Practice was born. Thank you Zentangle! 💜

Thanks to all the people i met this year and gained knowledge and skills From!

Gratitude for mutual love and kindness!
Thanks to you, dear people for the inspiration you give us!
Be healthy and blessed with your labor!

I am so thankful for the friends and family that Zentangle has brought into my life and how it has changed me for the better. I am continually amazed at the good in the world that Zentangle has opened my eyes to. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I’m so grateful for all the skills and techniques I’ve learned through Zentangle, all the amazing people I’ve connected with, for my friends and family, and for art in uncertain times.

I am so grateful for Zentangle. It saw me through the recent dreadful storm that left us without power or even cellphone service for more than 4 days. The wonderful calming effect of tangling meant so much to me during that stressful period. Enormous trees completely uprooted and dumped on homes, vehicles, roadways and gardens.
More than grateful that we came through in one piece, unhurt and safe.

Happy Thanksgiving Rick, Maria and the entire Zentangle family. I am so grateful for you all.

I’m grateful to see nature’s beauty and in turn, the pieces artists create.

I’m grateful as I see my friends, neighbors, family and even those I don’t know, smile at one another.

I’m grateful for the gifts that practicing Zentangle has provided to me. So again, thank you Maria, Rick and the entire ZENTANGLE family.

I am very grateful that, despite all the bad things happening right now all around the globe, I find myself surounded by people who love me just as much as I love them. I am grateful for the baby my friend gave birth to just 2 month ago. She teaches me to stay in the moment and to treasure it.
I’m grateful for my students, who constantly surprise me with their joy and creativity.
And I’m grateful for all the small things that give me comfort when thousands of “what if”s flood my mind and threaten to trigger another anxiety attack.

I hope you all are safe out there. Happy and healthy. Or at least mostly okay. It’s so precious.
