Zentangling or doodling on small pieces of paper is very addictive! As you can see, I am expanding with colors.
You can use any paper for these. The first image (bees) was done on tracing paper, the other two on vellum.
Interested in starting some zentangling yourself? Drop me a line in the comments, and I will share my sources with you!

Eliza is now available in my Etsy store!
An edwardian calling card was the starting point for this lovely journal!
A small glimpse into Eliza's life can be found throughout the journal, with a bit of help from census documentation.

Eliza lived a long life, born in 1837 and married in 1859. She saw many noted events during her lifetime: the Gold Rush of California in 1848, the Civil War 1861-1865, the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, and so much more!
Eliza passed away in 1922 at the age of 84.

The journal does not include these events, but there is enough space available to add them.

My YouTube channel has a flip through of Eliza.

Part of organizing my craftroom is trying to control paper scraps... who am I kidding 😂😆🤣 Paper scraps are like gremlins. They multiply and pop up everywhere! 😂😆
I found a large 18" by 24" sketchbook at value village and the pages are perfect to create masterboards with. This is the first one I made today while watching Downton Abby. 😁

And Eliza is done! The only thing I still need to add are metal corners on the cover. They are on order and should be here next week.
A flip through will be available on my YouTube channel soon! If you would like to be notified when the flip through is available, go to my YouTube channel and click on the bell to subscribe.
