Love Is In The Air



It's February the month of Love.


Two Lives, Two Hearts joined as One. 


Happy Valentine's Day 


All we need is Love.


These pages were so much fun to create.


Isn't it wonderful that sometimes all we have to do is smile 
to spread a little love 
and brighten up someone's day.


There are so many ways to show your love,
&
Love Always Wins.

 Have a LOVELY day :)

 Your blogging sister, Connie

    Hi Connie,

    I just love your doodle/zentangle drawings! Very creative and fun! I saw some indian pottery that reminded me of zentangles and took some photos this past weekend. I need to get out my sketchbook and see what I come up with.

    Thanks for visiting me. Yes, it's so nice to have a store nearby. I hope she makes it in this economy.

    Hugs,
    Kay

    Such cute drawings and lovely sayings. You're talented! I wish I could settle down enough to sit and draw. I haven't done it in years. And, I went to college for art! I admire that you do that.

      I love fine point Sharpies for my drawings and then Tombow and Tim Holtz Distress markers to color in. Tombow in my opinion have better size tips, but Tim Holtz markers come in amazing colors :) I even sometimes use crayon brand . . . they come in two sizes and they will save you a lot of money :)
      Have fun and thanks for the sweet visit.
