A Research Project

There is a research project lerking here...

I went to an appointment and left this Tangled Little Card in the entry of the office building.


Two weeks later I returned for a follow up appointment.  The card was still there!

 
The Tangled Little Card had obviously been moved so perhaps read and enjoyed.  Interesting, huh?!  It was left behind by at least one person... did they obtain enjoyment from the little card and want to leave it there for someone else to find and enjoy?  Why didn't they take it?  I find it fascinating that for two weeks it could have been potentially enjoyed by several, each person leaving it for the next.

I did go back to the office building a week later just to see if the card was still there; it was not.

I love a good Chai Latte.  This Tangled Little Card was left at a place in Flagstaff that makes the best Chai Latte... a mix of sweet and spicy!  Do you know where this card was left?!



Sharing the Kindness-- Sue Williams

When I first started this project, I left a Tangled Little Card in a cemetery in New Orleans.  That card was found by Angela Gage who has now passed the passion of spreading kindness via Tangled Little Cards to one of her students, Sue Williams.  Sue's blog is Lighting the Candle, do check it out, her art is gorgeous!

In a July blog post she mentions the Tangled Kindness Project and an upcoming vacation from Ohio to California.  In the post she writes:

"I thought it would be fun to participate in this project and make and leave cards along our journey.  So I now have a purpose to learn this method of art.  Pictured is my first card to take and leave on my journey".  

It is the purpose comment that gives me goose bumps; I am so happy and grateful that the purpose of spreading kindness is enjoyed in this project by others.  Thank you Sue for spreading kindness!  Your work is beautiful and I know that the finders of your Tangled Little Cards will cherish them!

Here is her first Tangled Little Card... who do you think found it?!

Tangled Little Card by Sue Williams

Jordan Valley OR

I have been traveling for the past 4 months placing Tangled Little Cards in random, beautiful, carefully selected, obscure, and wonderful places!  My apologies for neglecting the blog; I will find a balance in traveling and blogging sooner than later... I get so carried away with making placing cards that I don't post.

So, here is the first post in a long time.  

In our Western US travels we over nighted in a Jordan Valley OR.   We have traveled through before but this time opted to stop to experience the Basque culture... and I still don't know how to play Basque handball!  There is a Basque restaurant, the Old Basque Inn, that serves lamb chops with lots of garlic, just how I like it!

So, on to Tangled Little Cards.  The hotel we stayed in was pretty... basic. Although it did have great views!

View to the West from our hotel room.

I took this picture of these trucks, well, just because I thought they were pretty cool!  Plus they reminded my kids of the movie Cars which was a bit hit in my family.

View to the South from our hotel.

The morning we left, I placed this Tangled Little Card on the steps near our hotel room.  I always wonder who finds them...
