Doodle days

Still doodling :)

Quite enjoying doodling the main theme of the day. One thing I have noticed is that Sunday's theme tends to be food related!!! Especially as we get closer to Christmas!!!

This week in doodles…

Monday - lots of bits to do which were all over the place
Tuesday - lists, lots of lists
Wednesday - paper culling
Thursday - time is flying
Friday - it's what Friday's are always about… Wine O Clock
Saturday - went on a bit of a housing hunting mission and found a loooooovely one
Sunday - a bit of a pre-christmas party at mum and dads - always yummy food and wine ;)

So, what's your week been like…

Carry On Doodling

I've been carrying on the #doodleaday which I'm quite pleased with myself for doing - I get bored/distracted VERY easily! Some of the doodles aren't anything amazing, but it's just the process of illustrating the general activity of the day…

This week…

Monday was all about decorating the office.
Tuesday I'd had too much coffee!!!
Wednesday was Lisa's birthday, so lots of cake that day.
Thursday there was a lot of Christmas sing-a-long going on.
Friday I was trying to feel inspired!!!!
Saturday - cleaning, in preparation for putting up Christmas decs.
Sunday we had the first turkey dinner of the month :) Yummmmmmm

Doodle Week

At the beginning of the week I embarked upon a Doodle a Day challenge, I thought rather than keep putting the doodles up on here every day I'd put all the doodles together at the end of the week.

I have been doing a doodle a day though - honest!! You can see the doodles on twitter, I did post them... @pikadoodles

Monday - Cold and tired = Coffee
Tuesday - Thoughts turned to having a stall at next Spring Handmade Nation fair
Wednesday - Lots of phone calls
Thursday - Lots of questions
Friday - Rushing around like a loon
Saturday - Rugby World Cup Final day - NZ v Aussies
Sunday - Long drive back to Warrington (5 hours!) tired eyes!
Today - All about Christmas decorating

A Doodle A Day...

Just because I like to give myself a challenge, and even more stuff to do, I thought I'd start A Doodle A Day #doodleaday

The doodles have to be a theme of the day, so the very first one I've done is the theme of "Cold" (because it's 0 degrees today!) and what more do you need on a cold day other than a lovely warm mug of coffee...

It would be great if you all wanted to join in on Twitter, I'm just going to be doing the hashtag #doodleaday

I'm not doing full on amazing drawings - just doodles.

The definition of Doodle:
1. To scribble or draw aimlessly.
2. A figure, design or scribble drawn or written absent-mindedly.

Doodles away :)

Present List

It's freebie list time!!!

I thought, as it's nearly Christmas - eek!! I'd do a Christmas prezzie list. Although, judging by some people's tweets, quite a lot of you have already got your presents sorted!!

Anyway, for those not as organised, like me, this is a list I use when I've got lots of prezzies to buy. Christmas being one time of the year and the month of May being another!! It just gives me a bit of creative license to think about what to get for someone if money was no object, then from that it creates all sorts of ideas of alternative presents...

CHOOSE & WIN

In the run up to Christmas a big mug of hot chocolate is what's required (that and a cheeky rioja!!) - but what to drink it in...

Well, we've come up with a couple of designs that will be manufactured onto lovely "hug-mugs" - mugs you can wrap your hands around and keep you warm (unless you've finished the bottle of rioja and are quite warm from the alcohol!)

However, there's just one more step to choose the design...

YOU get to make the choice and once the design has been chosen, a winner will be picked at random from the social media hat and receive one of the mugs in time for Christmas...

What could be better (except for that bottle of rioja!!)

These are the choices...

All you have to do is like the Pikadoodles page on Facebook here and let us know which you prefer... simples!!

Or leave your comments below...

Competition finishes on Monday 4th November :)

Change is good..

This month's freebie download is all about changing things.

The seasons are changing and the time is changing (don't forget to put your clocks back on Saturday night/Sunday morning)!

I've been reading a book about time management and changing things in your life to manage time a lot better. It gave me the idea for this list.

I love a good list!!

It's looking at the things that you REALLY want, and what you have to change to get it. So if I REALLY want to have all my products ready in time for the various Christmas markets I need to make the change of sitting watching Luther or Blue Bloods back-to-back!! As great a series as they are, it's not helping me manage my time!!!
