This Tangled Little Card found it's way to the Phoenix Art Museum!!

Browning MT

These Tangled Little Cards found their way to a small town in Glacier County Montana... Browning. 

From the official Browning website, we learn that it is the largest community on the Blackfoot Indian Reservation and is home to nearly 9000 members of the Blackfeet Nation.

Main Street Browning MT

Only thirteen miles West of Browning is an entrance to Glacier National Park.   

One of those Tangled Little Cards ended up in Teeples IGA, the local grocery store...

TLC in the COE at NAU

How's that for a title of acronyms!

I was in the COE yesterday while it was completely deserted; what a quiet place without students and faculty.

This Tangled Little Card was left near the front entrance.  Do you think someone will pick it up first thing this morning or will it sit there for others to enjoy until finally someone takes it?

Interestingly, I went back the next morning for an 11:00 meeting; the TLC was still there! 

Remember....

Nevada... Have you seen this tree?!

This is a wonderful story from Sue Williams:

"My husband and I were making our way through the Nevada desert from Wendover, NV to Death Valley when we came upon this tree right by the road.  There were no other trees around, not for what seemed like a hundred miles or so, just desert.  I call it "the giving tree" because people had hung hats, shoes, shirts, mugs, bottles, scarves, and more all over the tree.  I taped one of my cards on a branch.  I was so moved by this experience and so happy I was on that road to see it.  The world may seem like a deserted desert at times but we are surrounded with loving people with kind hearts."

That last sentence is so simple yet it says so much!  I imagine that at times everyone feels like they are in a deserted desert and there is nothing like a speck of kindness to bring about change. This tree radiates with kindness.

What great photos of "the giving tree" -- can you find the Tangled Little Card, before scrolling to the third photo?!

Thank you, Sue, for placing a TLC on this beautiful tree.

The water feature by the pool inspired the tangle for this Tangled Little Card.

The Tangled Little Card now awaits by the pool.  Who will pick it up?!

Shreveport LA

My dear friend is in Shreveport right now placing Tangled Little Cards here, there, and everywhere!  And then she emails me to let me know that the cards have been morphed into bookmarks and placed throughout the library!  What a brilliant idea, Bonnie!

There one sits, waiting to leap into the hands of someone who just selected the next great book to read!

Around Town

Today at Bookman's I was talking to a young woman about her dog.  When she left, I noticed that she put this on a table as she passed by it.  I love that others are sharing artistic acts of random kindness!

Then off to the Aquaplex so the kids could play in the water. I did this Tangled Little Card (even though my only source of ink was a Sharpie!) and left it in the lounge area.

Where will the next Tangled Little Card land; and who will find it?!

Quib freed by Ing....at FHS

When I place a Tangled Little Card I always wonder in who's hands it will land; it may be a student this time!

I tangled this tile while my kids were engaged in swim practice.... at a high school; so this Tangled Little Card sits in the cafeteria waiting.  

Now, knowing that some of my former students attend this school, I will also wonder if I shall hear from one letting me know I got the quote all wrong! The quote should read...

" Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." -- Mark Twain. 

All alone... waiting for someone to walk by and pick it up!

I also posted this....

For some reason, I don't put my chop on the Tangled Little Cards I make.
