Monday

Well the rains have returned.  Yesterday was foggy in the morning and beautiful the rest of the day.  Today actually started out ok but by afternoon it started raining.  Really can't complain, we've had a long warm summer.  Here it is the end of September already.  After all this is what the Pacific Northwest is known for. 

I spent a fun day yesterday with my daughters, celebrating two of our birthdays.  We wondered the Pearl District in Portland, shopped a little, ate and drank a little, laughed a little and had a great time together.  One more birthday to go,  I think we might go for a hike.  

If you get a chance check out my shop on Zazzle.  I just added some new items today with a pair of doodled ballet shoes.  

Finished a little recycled jewel box this week and another three doodled, recycled candlestick birdhouses.   I've added both items to my She Who Doodles Etsy shop.

Working on another jewel box then onto a chair I picked up cheap at a thrift store. 



I love working on multiple projects at a time.  Something is always drying before the next step anyway so makes it easy.   

I feel like I've been on the computer most of the day, guess I better close out and fix some dinner.  Time for some cold weather meals, time to get the crock pot out. 

Thanks for visiting.

Social Media

UGH!!!  Social Media will be my undoing.  I recently took a class on how to use social media to help market my art.  So I've been making changes, searching groups, put myself out there more.  Now I need to double the time I scan thru my FB pages and discovered that it was worth while posting more frequently to Instagram .  Twitter gets caught in the middle somewhere.  And then there is Pinterest , my Etsy shop and this blog.   So for starters I thought I needed to add all the social media icons to my blog but couldn't find any I liked so doodled my own. Fun project put the trick was getting them posted.  Spent a day trying to figure out how to get them the size they needed to be to line up.   Got a little lesson in HTML.  But persevered and as you can see they are neatly in a row and the background is transparent.  You can find just about anything you need to know how to do on You Tube.  Also found a great little online program that will instantly turn your backgroun

Washougal Studio Artist Tour

 Finally some light at the end of the tunnel.  My first art event for over a year is now scheduled for Mothers Day Weekend May 8 and 9.  So excited to have the opportunity as a guest artist to participate in the tour again.  This will be my 3rd year with the group.  Lots of great returning artist and a few new ones.  We'll even have the Runaway Kitchen Food Cart joining us.   I have a years worth of new work to show.  This last year has been very productive for me as far as new work goes.  Maybe not in other ways.  But some good and some bad.   Hope to see you at the tour in May.  A great way to spend time with your Mom. Thanks for visiting. Cyndee Starr

I haven'd done a post card swap for several years.  ihanna offers a swap twice a year now and they are always fun.  Not only to create the postcards but mostly receiving them.  Watching the mail box each day to see where the next one might come from.   It's not too late if you are still interested, just follow the link above to sign up, you have till Oct 22.  ihanna is in Sweden so this is an international swap.  Finally started on my 10 postcards,  a little paint, a little collage and finally some doodles.  Just waiting for my list of addresses to send them to. It's not like I really needed another project but always fun to do something different.  I have 4 scheduled fall/holiday events and another on a wait list.  Plus it's football season and the grandsons are playing.  By the looks of the wins all 3 teams will be going into playoffs.  The rains have started after a long dry summer, but thankful the smoke is gone and the air is clear.  Feeling sad for all
