Doodles and More

Sometimes girl's just gotta doodle.  Doodling helps me create something when I don't want to make a painting.  Doodling is good for the soul.  When I was a little girl, my sister and I colored every day.  Our favorite coloring book was a "Bride" coloring book.  It was a thick book, with lots of pages just waiting for our crayons (Hello, my name is Barb and I sniff crayons).  The Bride coloring book followed a pretty young thing from dating days to her honeymoon.  My favorite pages were always the pages with flowers - I would color those first.  Then I hit the pages with dresses.  I would color the dresses up and make them all gorgeous.  My sister would do the same.  I am left handed, she is right handed so it made for some great double coloring.  I would color the left page, she would color the right page at the same time.  Oh my, we did have some beautiful pages in that book, but we never colored the bride's boyfriend/groom.  Why would we?  He had nothing lovely to color.  We had that book (hidden in a desk) for years until our OCD throw away everything not nailed down mother got her hands on it.  I would love to have it now.  I would color all the flowers, then all the dresses.  What does this have to do with doodling??  Nothing.
