  10. Happy Anniversary, Margaret!!!!!!!!!
    I have been inspired by you, your art, and your blog since I attended CZT15 in 2014. You are one of my favorite Tanglers in the Mosaic App, and I always enjoy being notified when you have uploaded a new tile. Someday I hope to attend Zen Again and meet you in person.

  12. Congratulations Margaret. Yours was one of the first blogs I found when I discovered Zentangle. You left me in awe and I wondered if I would ever be able to produce anything remotely as beautiful. But slowly and surely my skills have improved and I'm developing my own style. And you've been encouraging, helpful and inspiring throughout! Thank you!

  14. Happy Anniversary! Thank you for your perseverance and inspiration. I know how much work blogging is. Have you ever thought of turning your blog into a book? I know I would love a copy. (And I hope I win one. All of your originals that I bought were lost in the fire)
