About Me

My photo
Debra Castaldi
I am a retired Veterinary Technician who has always been a little crafty. I was staying in Maine the summer of 2011 after loosing my eldest son (only 24) to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when the art of Zentagle found me. It was therapy, meditation, and a distraction that has worked it's way into my heart and soul. I hope to pass this art expression on to others in hopes that they too will reap the benefits that I have experienced since tangling has entered my life.
