Tangle Refresher 90

This may seem a bit early but when it comes to the holiday season a little advance planning (and shopping) can help take some pressure off this time of year. With that in mind …

If you are planning on giving the incredible gift of Zentangle® this year I’d like to remind you of shipping deadlines so you receive your order in plenty of time.

International orders, in particular, should really be placed ASAP because of the shipping volume all carriers deal with at this time of the year.

Zentangle gift-wise, I highly recommend the Official Zentangle Kit and/or The Book of Zentangle as the perfect gifts for anyone and everyone you love. I just love my copy of The Book of Zentangle and revisit Maria’s beautiful artwork all the time. Creatively, it is such an inspirational book.

Any of the official Zentangle art supplies make wonderful 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. (There are pale imitations on the market now, but none as good.)

• White, Black,  or Tan “Renaissance” Tiles
• Zendala Sets
• Ensembles, or
• Pre-Strung Tiles
• BTW – Zentangle books make great gifts too – visit the BOOK REVIEWS tab on the top menu bar for reviews and links to purchase

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 Sunday, December 14th. All orders are shipped USPS Priority Mail.
• For shipping anywhere outside the USA, the last date to order from TanglePatterns to stand a decent chance of getting your order in time is Sunday, November 30th. Orders are shipped by International Air Mail and I can’t guarantee delivery before Christmas for anything outside the US.

Of course I’ll continue to take and ship orders after these dates but I can’t promise they’ll arrive before Christmas.

Here are the direct links to the pages to place your orders:

• For orders delivered to Canada visit this page
• For orders delivered to ALL other International destinations visit this page

The Tangle Refresher series, aka Buried Treasure, spotlights hidden tangle gems from the past. It can remind you of tangles you might not have used for a while or introduce you to some you haven’t come across yet.

Here are five more tangle pattern gems and a Tangle Refresher from a year (or two) ago for your tangling pleasure. Remember to check out the “More Good Stuff” links below too. Zenful tangling!

BTW as you visit these tangles please Tweet or “like” them on Facebook so they get shared with a wider audience. Sharing links are on the left side of each pattern’s page. Thanks!
