For all ye non-doodlers (like moi) out there, rejoice!

You too can try your hand at designing some doodle-licious stationery and party goodies with these FREE doodles from Fonts for Peas. Check out my attempt at being artsy (okay, please don’t laugh as I’m no graphic designer). I just played a little with the font sizes, angles and backgrounds in Photoshop using  a combination of Pea KT, Pea Lauren and Pea Stacy’s New Doodles. Full disclosure: see that cute cow from Pea Tisha’s Doodles? It almost made it in there. Almost. Hehe.

Next post, I’ll show you one more thing you can do with your doodles.

And we’re ready to go! Off for some food and sun burnt fun with the fam this week, woohoo! I’ll be unplugging from my blogo-keyboard for now. Don’t worry, I’ve scheduled some posts and will try to micro-blog here.  Follow along so you don’t miss me too much, haha.

See you soon, and have fun wherever you are!

Hoo-yah! It’s hard to believe it, we know…

I was just sitting here at my desk, and it floated through my mind: “Hmmm… I started the blog in July of last year, I think … Must be coming up on an anniversary…” So off I went to check the archives– and lo and behold –

July 12, 2008 marked my first ever post! WOW. I still can’t believe it has been a year already. Time sure flies when you’re having fun!

So thank you dear readers. Thank you for always stopping by and leaving a comment. Thank you for watching this space, for caring and sharing and for all the blog-love and friendships. To fellow blogging friends whose daily dose of inspiration continue to enrich my life and expand my otherwise dormant right brain, thank you.  It’s truly been an amazing year and we truly appreciate you following along.  Blogging would be no fun without you all!  xoxo
