First, I was so excited to wake up and find that my little love bird was "Today's Featured Birdie" on the Brave Girls Daily Truth! Eeek!
and there is a cute little story aboout this little birdie...
Last weekend, I found myself sitting and then eventually laying on the garage floor with a box full of old crayons, markers and pencils that the boys have used through the years. (I keep it in the garage because I often have little "love bugs" with anxious little creative hearts & hands "ready to play"when they see me in the garage.)
So, with all of the dads standing in our garage this past weekend, watching football and yadda yadda yadda...in came my little visitors. (That is how I ended up on the floor)...when in walked my most favorite little girl with the cutest little t-shirt on...with a little bird on it. (inserts screeching breaks sound effect). It stopped my in my tracks, for just a minute, so that I could quickly doodle it out on a scratch paper and then of course, I continued on coloring and cutting while laying on the garage floor.
Once the football was over, the papers were picked up, the box of markers was tucked back into place and the garage was quiet, the little brave birdie came to fruition!
now, on last little thingy dingy...Some of you have asked, and YES! I am in the early concept stages of Doodle 201, so I would suggest that if you have not already taken Doodle 101, please do...because you will want the basics down...here is just a look at one of the new doodles that will be part of 201















Good for you for making it on the Brave Girls website! I love that site, and am excited to peruse around yours... looks very interesting!

That is so awesome my friend! I love this little birdie! You know I use birdies for my photography watermark. I wonder how i can make your birdie into a PhotoShop brush and use a Stephanie Ackerman original as my watermark...hmmm....the wheels are turning!!
