You're not dawdling if you're doodling. :)

From "Doodle"... to Final!

The Doodle Game

"Doodling" for me represents a game that I played often with my mum growing up and now as an adult with my own kids. We call it the "doodle game" or "squiggles". It's the perfect past time on a long journey or during a sleepover.

Emily and I played a game of doodles for this post. As you can see, a little someone wanted to play too.


The rules are simple. One player does a quick doodle/scribble and the other player has to turn it into a picture. You can flip your paper any which way you need to.

I like to play in my sketch book...that way I know I won't lose it. (I save and date all of them.)

Give it a try, it's a ton of fun!

Weekly Theme: "Doodling"

I am a compulsive "doodler". I'll use a pencil, pen, computer, anything. So many of these end up in a file or trash can, but sometimes, I happen upon one that I'd like to expand into a painting. I think it keeps my mind and hands active, and you never know when you'll draw something worth keeping. I just took a long road trip, and it was nice to sit in the passenger's seat and doodle away at the scenery out of my window. The hours flew.
