Dear tangling friends,

Each year at this time I appeal to all users and subscribers of TanglePatterns to once again make a contribution, large or small, to help with the operating costs of keeping this unique Zentangle® resource going for another year.

I depend on the financial support of the site’s users and subscribers to help me keep TanglePatterns going. There is no financial support from Zentangle, Inc. or any other corporate sponsors. And just as the yearly cost of living continues to escalate all the time, so do the operating costs of keeping the site running smoothly and securely.

This annual November fundraising drive helps to pay the site’s many operating expenses — dedicated server, multiple software licenses, and assorted behind-the-scenes service providers  — and ensures I can continue to keep encouragement and fresh creative inspiration coming to you week in and week out, all year long.

I use this site several times a week, consider it a spot of brightness in my day! I’m relatively new, and hope to contribute patterns of my own, soon. For now, a monetary contribution is certainly a fair trade! ~ Susan M

Linda, I have made many purchases from your site and I use it as a reference tool at least DAILY. Your emails are one of the best parts of getting my mail….I squeal when I see I have something new from you! I can’t tell you how very much you are appreciated for so many things. Like others here, I am on a disability income so funds are quite limited, but I will be setting up a small monthly donation. That, coupled with my purchase, will make at least a very small ‘ding’ in operating costs.

From the bottom of my heart, I give you my very deepest thanks for all you do. Zentangle and this site became a life-ring when I definitely needed one in my life. ~ Rita

Your contribution matters, no matter how large or small.

HELLO TO EVERYONE WHO USES THIS SITE, regular or not!

Sometime ago, I decided this site and Linda deserved my help as I use her site every day for one thing or another.

I am an aged pensioner living on a government pension in Australia, so as a result I have to be somewhat frugal with my funds! However, I am SURE that like me, EVERYONE reading this CAN afford the cost of a cup of coffee once a month, YES?! I arranged with my bank to deduct an amount and send it to Linda every month, which keeps on giving, without me having to even remember once a year.

Give up the cost of ONE CUP OF COFFEE A MONTH and if EVERYONE who uses this site did that, it will be wonderful and a great help I am sure. Go on, arrange it now and DO SOME GIVING BACK to Linda and all she does for us all with TanglePatterns.com ~ Sue Z

If you gain creative inspiration from TanglePatterns, please ensure this unique site continues to be available to you and the worldwide Zentangle community.

Somebody last year suggested that, since Tangle Patterns is sort of a club where we can share patterns, ideas, photos, etc. maybe we could make a “club membership” type of donation and I thought that was a great idea. So I am sending my small annual donation today via PayPal! Thank you so much for all that you do on our behalf, Linda! ~ Rosemary

To the faithful tanglers who have supported the site in the past, my deepest appreciation and thanks to you for caring and helping TanglePatterns continue to exist.

Since I use your site many times each week, and find it incredibly useful, and easy to navigate, I shall continue making a monthly contribution. Thank you for all the skill, time, and effort you put into this resource. ~ Noka

Linda, Your dedication to this website is a blessing to anyone who supports the arts. I can’t draw an accurate stick figure but I can tangle, thanks to your detailed, interesting, educational website. Your website not only teaches Zentangle, but history, geography, and anthropology. The worldwide audience of Zentangle has opened up the world to me. I look forward to being introduced to something new in every email you send. While I will offer my financial support, I can never truly repay you for all you have given me! ~ ZaBeth
