Thanks Linda. I think it’s a great idea to do a re-cap like this occasionally, even for people who are familiar with your site. Something that wasn’t interesting a few months ago may be just the thing now.

I just want to take this time to THANK YOU for all the work and energy you have put into making this such a tremendous resource for all us tanglers. I love that I can come to your site for refreshment and revival,new ideas and an appreciation of all the many many tanglers out there and what they are doing with their ideas and creativity.
Let me just tell you I’m “TOTALLY” hooked. I find myself checking my email just to see if a new tangle has been posted. I’ve always been a doodler. As a child I would spend hours on the phone with friends and find myself doodling on my jeans or my sneakers. I guess for me, this is the more grown-up doodling for me.
Love the wedsite, keep the tangles coming.
