At work, I have a new set of Sharpies. They were very useful in staving off my frustration with having to be on hold while talking with one school or another at various points in the day. I just decorated my masking tape instead:

Taking every opportunity to add some color into my life. I hope your days are colorful as well!

flower doodles

i have more canvases than i can store right now.

i want to turn these flower doodles into paintings!

(look around...do you have a favorite?)

warm up

I'm certain of it.

Doodling is a silly word.

I admit that I doodle constantly during many, many meetings. Last week I tried to explain to someone that it helps me concentrate on what is happening, because I'm able to focus on what is being said and not on everything surrounding me.

I found an article in Time magazine that backs me up on this.

Do you agree? Does it seem like someone who draws flowers and vines and buttons over 3/4 of a notebook page isn't paying attention? It probably does seem that way. But it actually keeps my mind free from distractions that take me away from what is being said.

Are there any other doodlers reading this? What do you think?
