Write "Zentangle Class" on outside of envelope

Zentangle (pen and ink) on paper is all the rage...you will want to be "in" on this amazing, fun creative and easy-to-do art form. "Zen" is in the title for a reason....it is relaxing, calming and can create a "sense of well-being". Ginny has taught over 150 people so far over the past year. Although it "looks complicated", the motto in Zentange is "anything" is possible one stroke at a time." If you want to see some of Ginny's Zentangles you can visit her blog and scroll around under the label: Zentanges". http://ginnystiles.blogspot.com
