With gratitude – It’s time to lend a hand to help keep TanglePatterns alive for another year

Let me begin this fundraising appeal for 2022 with a huge, heartfelt “THANK YOU” to TanglePatterns’ current patrons!

I love you guys! You are my TanglePatterns Angels. I simply couldn’t continue to do this without your generous support and I appreciate you so much. Thank you!

Each year on November 1st I ask ALL of the site’s users to help underwrite the operating costs of running the website and keep this one-of-a-kind Zentangle® resource going for another inspirational year.

Donations are most gratefully accepted any time of the year and there’s an always-accessible big yellow “Click to Support TanglePatterns!” button over there >>>> near the top of the right sidebar to make it really easy.

But in November I need to know I can pay the bills for the coming year and that’s where I need your help now.

Asking for financial help is something I wish I didn’t have to do. But the site’s operating costs are such that I must. While TANGLEPATTERNS GUIDE eBook sales are important and really, really appreciated, donations are crucial for sustainability.

Please, don’t tune out this request for assistance. This resource relies on everyone who uses it to support its continued existence. Together, WE keep TanglePatterns going.

I invest all my time and energy in offering sparks for your creative imagination and it’s a full time endeavor just keeping the content coming. There is no “team” keeping things running, it’s just me folks, and it’s my honor and pleasure to serve you.

All I ask is for you to invest a little to help me continue to keep TanglePatterns and all of its resources available.

This only takes you a minute. Your contribution makes a huge difference and it’s deeply appreciated. Click this secure button or use this secure link.

I use your site every day on my practice, and it is a permanently-open tab in my browser. Thank you for compiling such a wonderful resource for the tangling community! Kind regards, Yvette C. CZT, by email

Dear Linda: Thank you for keeping your website going because it truly is an invaluable resource for endless numbers of people! You are the real Angel for us tangle lovers. Without you, this art form would not be where it is today and anyone who tangles should be very, very grateful to you and your passion for tangling because it is hard work to keep the website going. Your website is beyond excellent!!!! Cheers, Phylis, by email

Like many of you, I have been using Linda’s site TanglePatterns.com since 2012 on a regular basis. I became a regular “donor” some years ago. I do this willingly as Linda does SOOO much for us all.
The easiest way is to arrange through your bank or Paypal for an automatic amount of your choosing to be taken from your account once a month and transferred to her account. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount; I am sure the price of a magazine or a cup of coffee, once a month helps her and honestly you don’t feel it. I am not “rich”, I am a government funded pensioner of 77 from Townsville in Australia and if I can afford to help her, I am quite sure most of the rest of you can too. So let’s show her how much we value her and what she does so willingly for tanglers world wide. (By the way, what I have written here is quite unsolicited!) ~ Sue Z

I am happy to help. It’s been a tough year but I always enjoy exploring TanglePatterns.com for inspiration. It would be a terrible loss to our Zentangle community if we didn’t have your wonderful website. Thank you for all you do!!! Lee M., CZT, by email

Linda, your generosity in delivering tangles to “the needy” deserves a medal, but until you get it, pls accept my donation. By “needy” I mean people like me who love having something to look forward to at the end of the day: which for me means paper, pen and tangling. And tangling, means getting into a zone that is unlike anything else, a sea of tranquility in a world of strife :).

You do so much good by sharing tangles, and perhaps you’re actually sharing an aid that helps people stay balanced and sane as well as happy….daily.

That’s it: it’s a daily shot of “happy”.

Could be you’re changing the world, one zentangle at a time. I know you’ve changed mine. Waving from Toronto, Nina

I am endlessly grateful to the understanding (and outstanding!) members of our Zentangle community.

With deepest gratitude and love and cyber hugs,
