After completing A to Z Challenge last month, I have been trying to reduce my online time and indulge in activities that doesn’t involve writing. In the last two weeks, I have watched the Ghost musical (which was exceptionally brilliant), organized a slumber party at my new home, completed five books, prepared my cactus collection and even have donned an ragtag artist’s cap.
I am sometimes too ambitious for my own good, lined up few art projects to be completed in the coming months. Fortunately, there was a 50% discount going on at LinCraft and I just went crazy shopping for oil paints, brushes and craft supplies.
Here’s a Zentangle girl I finished on Sunday, to be soon framed and hung on the wall.

My husband had bought a lot of large photo frames to display his photography but since he is too lazy to even get started, I have hijacked all his stuff 😀
