Inchie Zentangle Swap

[Mary Hicks]

You are invited to be part of a 1X1 Zentangle (ZiTs) swap! If you don't know what a Zentangle is, please go to this CCS Group for more information: http://coachcreativespace.ning.com/group/doodling

The deadline will be May 25th, 2008. I will be the Hostess for this swap. Please let me know if you would like to participate. Depending on how many join the swap depends on how many 1X1 Zentangles you will have to make.

The ZiTs can be black & white or in color -- it's your inchie, make it as you wish!

Ain't art grand? Have fun, and I hope we get lots of participation

Jules, I suspect it is the fault of the Middlebury Mail Mugger, near Bend, who waited a long time at the Middlebury PO to purloin your envelope ...and do we know anyone who lives in Bend and who cannot resist inchie pinching??? : )

[Jules]

Your guess is as good as mine. Middlebury is predominately an Amish community which makes it even stranger.
Bend is Barb's burg. Mine is South Bend (even though it is north, and in a cornfield without any bends) But it is kewl having Barb as a Bender buddy. :-)

Inchie pinching?

Can't be me ... I have no purloined inchies in my posession! All my inchies were gifted to me out of the goodness of pea pickin' hearts ...

Jules, 'tis much better to bend than to break :)

So when are you going to Bend?

[Mary Hicks]

I'm going to pick Jules up on my way when I come! We'll be there Tuesday -- get my couch ready! Man, do I wish THIS were true...

Some day, okay Jules, you and I will road trip it to Bend?

[Jules]

Yes! Yes!. Yes-yes! Yes!!!

[Mary Hicks]

Okay, okay...calm down...we need to plan this very precisely!

I'll pick you up on Sunday morning around 11 a.m. We'll share the driving and stop only at mom & pop restaurants for sausage biscuits and/or scrambled eggs with grits. I'll bring enough water in my cooler to get us to Barb's.

When do you want to head home?

[Camille]

Ooooh, I love greee-its! I just have got to balloon by to meet you gals on Sunday! Expect me at 10:30. Look for me on top of Barbs roof, and then we'll all fly over to the nearest best breakfast nook in Bend!

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

You can never go home again ... ballooning to Bend is like landing in OZ, Mary ... unless you have ruby slippers :)

[Camille]

Make sure you don't miss the Bend in the road that leads to Middlebury...and hey can I come too? I would love to see y'all...we could try to go there during a "Balloons over Bend Festival" We could rent a balloon and fly over Bend and then land on Barb's roof!

[Camille]

LOL Barb! Oh well, you know how the FBI leaves no stone sunturned? Well they do that with inchie pinchers too...it was just a lead which to a Bend in the road that lead to some naughty pea pickers in Middlebury afterall....

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

Yay, the sun stone is safe!

I'll be sure to keep an eye on the sky for the balloon, and climb aboard, so I can direct us to The Pancake House, or maybe Jake's if you have big appetite ... Jake's used to be *the* truck stop on the main highway, but they built a bigger newer one in another town south of Bend, tore down Jake's truck stop in Bend and moved the restaurant, and now building a Gottschalk's store on the site where the truck stop was ... ah, progress ...

[Mary Hicks]

The postal worker picked up three envelopes this morning, filled with delicious Inchie Zentangles on their way to Mellisac, Jules and Dabs! Thanks for participating! Let's think of another creative idea to swap soon, okay?
