October 17 is the first anniversary of my blogdom!
Bloggitude? Bloggeration? Blogiciousness? ... well, not boredom. I follow. I have followers. I post and comment and reply. I scan, upload, label, proofread and italicize. It's a whole world I barely knew existed 13 months ago. I launched this adventure following a
day-long Zentangle workshop planned by myself and Laura Harms, known to many of us as
the Diva. In the past year this blog has had more than 117,000 visits!!!

It's been quite a delight! I so enjoy and appreciate everyone's comments and compliments. It's inspiring and fun to see what other people are up to via their blogs. It's gratifying to have been inspiring and helpful in return. What a wonderful, supportive bunch you are!

I like the Hobbit custom of giving presents on your own birthday. But I also like getting things. :-) So, I'm going to have a DRAW (pun intended) and give away some of my art. Nothing will be framed - too tricky to mail glass. I will give away 12 pieces, one for each month in blogland, everything you see on today's post.

What's the catch you ask? Here's what I want in return: I would love to have a collection of zentangle tiles by other people - real, actual, original art, zentangle tiles. If you want to participate, here's what you can do:
- Send me one Zentangle tile. A classic zentangle: black ink only on a 9 cm (3.5 inch) square, white or off-white paper tile with pencil shading. No letters or words or objects. Just tangles.
- On the back write your name, mailing address and e-mail address. If you have a preference for any of the artwork, write that on the back too. If I DRAW your name I'll do my best to send you what you like, first DRAWn, first gifted.
- Only one entry per person.
- The deadline for receipt of your tile is November 18, 2011.
