just doOdling …

January opens the box of the year

and brings out days that are bright and clear.

Beautiful Saturday morning …

 

AND it is a beautiful Saturday morning …

just quiet, relax and easy.

I am tossing a simple tutorial … making the creative weekend mojo on the GO …

Oh lalala … this is something that I used to do a lot as child -

DoOdle

… the last pages of my notebooks were full of "whatever" images … names, swirls, hearts, faces.

and my old time fave - Snoopy and the gang.

I wished I kept them.

Doodles are simple drawings … just for fun however it can also have meaning …

an interpretation that only myself will know … the story behind it.

so, enjoy your cup of coffee and …

Let's doodle together … just simple swirls.

 

After coloring the image, let it dry then start doodling...

 

let it swirl, twist, circle it ...

anything ...

 

make it small, large, medium ...

anything ...

 

do some dots, lots of dots, small and big ...

make it different ...

 

be boLd and fUn ... make it beaUtiful!

 

 

aren't you enjoying it? 

no rules ... just letting it go with the flow ...

Monday Inspiration … with Chef Marci

 

reMeMber? 

Maria from the Sound of Music … ?

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

la … la … la … la …

la … la … la … la …

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

la … la … la … la …

I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Yes… I feel good whenever I remember …

aside from my being a paper fanatic, I love coOking and bAking …

do elaborate and intricate presentation …

small portion yet the taste lingers in your palate that will forever be remembered …

I truly miss my baking pans and my Valrhona chocolat …
