doodle-oodle-do

I admit it...I had to take a break from my dictionary...it is still there and waiting for my March choices but for the past few days I have been doodling.

First I found a little youtube video of how to make a little tabbed book.  Really cute and really easy!  Here is the link:

Heer is my blank book:

Honestly this was so much fun to make and because I had a blast I am making up a few of these for future use...I am also going to teach some great students how to make these books in an upcoming workshop.  The only question is...are you one of those great students?

But I digress.  I am filling this little book with my own doodles, quotes and other little pieces.  Here is my progress so far:

Okay that is it for now.  I will continue to fill this book with doodles and quotes and lists.  It relaxes me and fills me with a sense of accomplishment.

 

I had a wonderful gift come to me today.  I have arthritis in my hands and wrists and have had since I can remember.  Today the mailman delivered a pair of Tommy Copper fingerless gloves.  They are compression gloves and for the first time in weeks my hands are almost completely pain free and my freedom of motion is vastly improved.  Thank you Patti!  You cannot begin to know what this means to me.

always,
