Never too busy to tangle.....

This is usually so true, but last week was a bear!!  A whole family full of company in my tiny apartment and I broke the little toe on my right foot by catching it on the coffee table leg..... ouch!!!  We had the best time, however - you know how it is when you see old friends.  Lots of laughs, plenty of good food, a couple of picnic adventures, and always, the beautiful beach!!

Missed Laura's "straight lines" challenge, but wanted to try it anyway as the challenge this week is to use only curving lines.  The Diva wants us to see if we feel any different drawing curves than straights, so had to do the straight first......  I'm usually into curves, but actually enjoyed working with only straight lines and felt a bit more inclined to keep adding tangles.  What we learn about ourselves and our drawing because of these challenges!!  It's great ;-0

So, here's my curves tile followed by the straights tile, and then a few cute pics of the good time I had with my company..... enjoy ;-0

 (please ignore the little blob of white paint in the upper left corner - the phone rang, my pink marker slipped, and I had to do a wee bit of repair ;-0 - WHY does this happen only when you're about finished?????)
