Tangle Refresher 38

Tangle Refresher!

The holidays are fast approaching and I for one haven’t started planning for them yet. This year Robert and I are very excited to have my Mom and sister Karen joining us to celebrate Christmas so I need to get my act in gear soon.

My personal planning angst prompted me to remind you of ordering deadlines if you are thinking of giving the gift of Zentangle® this holiday season – and would like to receive your order in time 🙂

Naturally I recommend the Official Zentangle Kit and/or The Book of Zentangle, as the perfect gifts for anyone and everyone you love.

And any of the official Zentangle art supplies – White or Black Tiles, Zendala Sets, Ensembles, or Pre-Strung Tiles – make lovely gifts for friends and rellies who are already confirmed tanglers. Especially if they haven’t had the luxury of drawing on the yummy Zentangle tiles – there’s nothing like it.

Beat the rush and get your orders in soon! Here are the “deadline” dates to note in your calendar:

  • For shipping within the USA, the last date to order from TanglePatterns to ensure delivery before Christmas is Wednesday, December 12th. All orders are shipped USPS Priority Mail.
  • For shipping anywhere outside the USA, the last date to order from TanglePatterns is Wednesday, December 5th. All orders are shipped by International Air Mail and I can not guarantee delivery before Christmas for anything outside the US. But if you order on or before the 5th, you stand a decent chance of getting your order in time.
  • Of course I’ll continue to take and ship orders after these dates but there’s no guarantee they’ll arrive before Christmas.

Hmmm, Thanksgiving is next week. Guess I should figure out what I’m doing for that first …

Tangle Refreshers can remind you of patterns you might not have used for a while or introduce you to patterns you might not have come across yet. Here are five more tangle pattern gems and a Tangle Refresher from a year (or two) ago for your tangling pleasure. There are also links at the bottom to more buried content, so be sure to check them out too. Happy tangling!
