Diva Challenge 373 Non-Dominant Hand

The challenge this week is to complete a tile using our non-dominant hand.  It's a type of challenge with which I'm familiar.  For the past 14 years I've been using the "non-dominant side of my brain" for my work.  I am NOT a math person at all, but I've been working in finance.  It has taken years, but I'm finally somewhat comfortable with the credit/debit thing.  What I am very comfortable with is spreadsheets.  To me, spreadsheets are all about being able to see a pattern and work with it.  I leave the formulas to take care of the math.  :)

DC 371 Onion Drops

Diva Challenge 370 - Mezzanine

This week's Diva Challenge is a UMT featuring Mezzanine by Heidi Sue.  I'd already started a Thank You card which needed a little something.  I decided that Mezzanine might just fill the bill and I'm rather pleased with the results.  Happy Tangling!
