INCHIE 'TIME'

"TIME FLIES"

is my entry for 

Every Inchie Monday's

Weekly Challenge

Last night when I was laying in bed, I was thinking about time, and what I was going to do for this weeks challenge. And that's when I thought of "Gosh, how time flies!" How many times do we say that? "I can't believe that another year has flown by!!!! Let's hope it was a good one for everybody! 

Please make an effort to go to Every Inchie Monday, and see everybody's great Inchies. And I do have to say, Chrissie and Cathy, your whole year Inchie displays are MAGNIFICENT!!!  Even though I started this wonderful world of Inching late, you have inspired me to want to create a 2013 Inchie page. (it just won't be a full year) ! But now I can't wait to (hopefully) do a whole 2014 year of Inchies!!!

Thank you soooooo much, Trillian, for creating such a fun, creative,

mind bending, challenge for us every week!!

I am having, way too much fun!

And thank you Inchers for your inspiring comments that you leave on my blog!

What a great lil' group of Inchers we are!!

XO's

and 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2014

INCHIE 'FOOD'

Every Inchie Monday

'FOOD'

(And Thank God we have it!!!!)

Pictures taken on top of a Pizzelle. Click on photos to enlarge.

 Again this was a difficult week to make a decision!! SSooooooo many things came to mind. So this first one reflects my Italian heritage. Pasta, Fish, Bread, Cheese and Vino for dinner. For dessert Pizzelles, Canoli, Woochadatta, and Italian Cookie.

I had to take this picture on a plate that my Slovakian Grandmother gave me,.

For the other side of my heritage it's Slovakian food! Cabbage Rolls, and Pierogi for dinner and then for dessert it's Apricot, Prune, Nut, and Poppyseed Kolache!!

This next picture is of a yearly tradition that came from my father's side of the family. (And I really don't know where they got it from.) Anyway, every New Year's Eve, we put out on our table, these three foods. A head of Cabbage which represents "Prosperity", a thing of Salt for "Wisdom", and a Loaf of Bread for "Food". This is a wish for these things for the upcoming year!!

I can't believe I actually did this post on Christmas Eve!!!! 

Wishing you all a 

Very Merry Christmas!!

INCHIE 'JOY'

Every Inchie Monday

 "JOY"

.

LIFE

   This week was not difficult for me to come up with something, but it was hard for me to decide which one I wanted to use. So, I'm using them both! I kept thinking of the days I took my pregnancy tests to find that "I was Pregnant"!!!!Seeing those two pink lines meant that I was pregnant!!! 'PURE JOY'!!

   I also thought, JOY means, the gift of waking up to each new day!!! 

   Not only am I waking up each day, but I am en'joy'ing my three kids, my husband, and basically 'LIFE'!!!! And that's when it hit me,..........LIFE is JOY!!!!

I put my Inchie's on eggs to take this picture because I love eggs and they symbolize  'life'!

Please go to Every Inchie Monday, and take a peek at the other Inchies and maybe you'll get inspired to join in the fun!!!

Weekly Challenge #148

"Happy Merry"

 I first did the lettering in gold gel pen and then I used pencil to do all of my tangles and then faded all of my lines. 

"This is what Christmas means to me!!!!"

"Thank you Laura for always putting so much of your time and talent into these wonderful Challenges! And I am so looking forward to all the different ways people celebrate their  holidays!!!

After I took my picture I just felt it needed color! Because that is what Christmas is about too!!

I just want to give a thanks to Kate Ahrens CZT at 1 Art Lady Kate, you were my inspiration for the holly, using Laura's tangle Boo*Kee*, from last week! I just fell in love with your challenge entry and it was perfect for adding a little color to my entry this week!!!  Thanks!

BOO*KEE* AND INCHIE, 'JACKET'

I Am the Diva CZT

Weekly Challenge #147 UMT v.XXIII

Boo*Kee*

"Oh BooKee Tree"

When I drew my string for this one, I wasn't really crazy about it and then I turned it upside down and that's when I thought of a Christmas tree!!! So that's where it all began!!! BooKee would work wonderfully as a garland on a tree! Anyway, once I started, I thought, what did I get myself into? I should have made my Featherfall much larger. This took me two different sittings to finish it! Anyway, it was fun!!! Thanks Laura, for creating such a fun tangle and for sharing it with us!!!

Zentangles: Featherfall, Boo-Kee, Purk and Fengle

"JACKET'

"Crazy,......not me!"

And yes, sometimes in this busy, crazy, life of mine, I feel like I need to be put in one of these kinds of jackets. The good Ole' Straight Jacket!!! I don't know if these are still used or not but this is my version of the word.

Straight Jacket:
