The year is well under way, and I'm still not inspired to add to the blog-o-sphere, except to pass along some pretty amazing You Tube videos. 
(Oh, here I need to take a detour.  Last night we were listening to the joke/humor edition of Prairie Home Companion, a non-stop Laugh-In.    One joke we loved was:
Did you know there is a new social networking site?   You Tube, Twitter, and Facebook have all merged.  The new site is You Twit Face.  LOL.   Well, I guess you had to be there.  We thought it was hilarious.)
So, this year I seem to be focusing more on calligraphy, thanks to the few ladies who have taken me under their sheltering pens after the Zentangle workshop.  I found this wonderful You Tube presentation of the word  "MAGIC".    Prepare to be amazed if you're a calligrapher.

Growing Older in the New Year. A You Tube Laugh

It is a new year, and a happy one, too.    A dear friend sent me this, and it is so choice, I want to share it.
While the first minute and a half is a real prayer, this delightful lady adds her own personalized message to the Hearer of All Prayers.   A reminder for all of us.

Sending you to someone else's blog

This blog post was just too good to keep to myself.   I got it from Lori Vliegen, who got it from Julie Fei- Fan Balzer.   It's about getting your art supplies organized, and who doesn't need that???  I'm going to get started on that first thing Monday morning.  (Do I sound like a procrastinator?)
