meet arnie......

......this big, bad boy is heavy duty stuff! he only accepts heavy duty staples and is sheer HEAVEN to use! for some time now, reece has been complaining about 'wimp' not standing up to the task at hand so it was time for wimp to be replaced. i wish i could say that wimp has served us well but that would be a lie. much to our frustration, he has pretty much been a 'wimp' from day dot.

as you can see, arnie is almost twice wimp's size -

NEWSFLASH - today is the first day in three weeks that i have felt half-human again.....YAY! those supplements sure pack a punch....thanks, mum! but, instead of painting today, i found myself reading blogs....thanks, ro! ;)

as i don't have any more painting progress to show, here is a zentangle i did last month. these are so much fun to do because even i don't know what the outcome will be.

Arnie is impressive!

Glad to hear you're finally feeling a little better. Being sick is such a drag. I love the zentangle!! I do them when I don't want to have to think about anything....usually when I'm watching tv. I think they could be therapeutic!!

Thanks, Rita!

Thanks, Janet! Arnie is a dream to use....I never thought I would get so excited over a stapler. lol And yes, the zentangles are so therapeutic....love doing them.

Lovely and intricate zentangle! And it looks like your new Arnie can do some serious stapling.

Hey, if you ever start a group for those of use that use all mediums in our work , please give a holler.

Ohhh, Serena, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. I'm almost there. I have 1 foot in Sickyville, and 1 foot in Wellville. I'm hoping for both feet on Wellville soon. Love the zentangle. For some reason it reminds me of Escher. Hooray for Arnie. I know how a strong staple can make life more convenient. :)

Will do, Linda ~ :)

Thanks, Luci, and I hope you now have both your feet planted squarely in Wellville as Sickyville is just no fun at all. :)
