Spring time in Australia

Spring time Flowers

Spring time is a lovely time of the year – the lovely fresh green leaves on previously bare branches, lots of colours etc.  Paint Party Friday seems to come around too quickly when the week is busy, doesn’t it. But that means it’s weekend again – yay!

On another subject, I have been busy with DottedSquare.com lately and I wrote a little snippet on why we should doodle. Here is an interesting video:

 

Happy Weekend.

  19. It is fall here (although in Beaufort SC that doesn't mean what it did in NY). But I agree - spring just gives you a new energy. Love your pages - lovely sketches.

  20. Beautiful journaling. I love TED talks and this one is great. I'm a lifelong doodler and still thank my first grade teacher for asking my parents to send a notepad to school with me so I could doodle on that instead of my other papers. But she let me doodle!! I teach at college level now and I always smile when I see my doodlers in class. I could go on and on...but thanks for posting it!

  23. Many interesting posts here. I had forgotten about your new blog. Loved the video about doodling. I don't feel so bad now about being a habitual doodler.
