The Bright Owl   and   I am the Diva

 

This is a 2 4 1 I used the Bright Owls template and the challenge from the Diva was to incorporate 2014.

I have also started on a new adventure for my self  working on an art journal  Journal 52

 

 

I have not got the first prompt done but I did manage to do a cover page and this fish page. I still need to catch up and make my cover and do the prompt.

 

Happy New Years to All hope it will be a very good 2014 for everyone

12 Step Program for Doodles and Zentangles

Introduction

I decided to dedicate a page to help those who are addicted to doodling in its many forms. If you need help or counselling please seek help immediately. 

The 12 Steps

Start with the following 12 steps if you need to recover from this addiction, and practice each step daily. 

1. Do not cover all your walls with doodles. Leave some space for family photos.

2. Do not keep multiple projects going at the same time.

3. Do not buy pens, pencils, markers and sketch pads when you have lots at home.

4. Do not let your drawing area look like your can't stop to clean up.

5. Do not look at everything as if it is your next idea for a doodle.

6. Do not stock up on supplies just because they are on sale.

7. Do not let doodling distract you from fixing dinner, doing the washing and taking the kids to school etc.

8. Do not stay up doodling all night.

9. Do not keep every magazine and piece of junk mail for the patterns you could copy.

10. Do not relegate the kitchen table to doodling only. The family have to eat somewhere.

11. Do not save all packaging for the doodling ideas, you have to throw out some things as rubbish.

12. Do not promise you will quit tomorrow, it never comes.

More Steps

Other people have different symptoms they have written me about. If you are suffering from any of these behaviors you will need to do them daily as well.

13. Do not lie about going to bed and then stay up another 2 hours doodling. (Nikki let me know about this one)

Diagnosis

This 12 Step Program is a good check list if you are not sure you are a Doodleaholic. If you do do, 3 of the 12 items listed you are well on the way to becoming an addict.

STOP NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
&
START THIS PROGRAM

Other Symptoms

I know there are other symptoms of this dreaded addiction.

If you know what they are please add them to the comments below so that I can include them in this 12 Step Program. I think I many have to add a lot more steps, and promise to do so to help those in need.

My Confession

I am not recovering, I am addicted, I cannot turn away from many of those 12 Steps

sooooooo

IF YOU CANNOT KEEP TO THIS  12 STEP PROGRAM

YOU MAY AS WELL CONTINUE TO DOODLE

BECAUSE THIS ADDICTION IS NOT HARMFUL ANYWAY

AND IS SOOOO MUUUCH FUNNNN.
