Doodle Party!

If you ever have the chance to take Mary Beth Shaw’s workshops, do it!
She's generous with her knowledge, her sense of humor is wonderful and her enthusiasm contagious!

I’m a lucky girl to live in St. Louis...I got to go to Mary Beth Shaw’s recent Doodle Party at Chesterfield Arts for a relaxing evening of doodling and creativity!

Mary Beth brought lots of her own doodles to inspire us along with her favorite doodling media: Identi-Pens and foam board! Chesterfield Arts provided everyone with adult beverages.

I saw friends and met new people, too.
I enjoyed sitting by John (Mary Beth’s husband) and talking with him as we doodled.

And of course there were StencilGirl stencils galore to incorporate into doodles!!
Here’s one of my doodles that incorporates Michelle Ward’s Maltese Set stencil:

Stencils are a great way to begin doodles, too!
Below are two more doodles I began during the workshop:

This doodle began with Terri Stegmiller's Spider Flower stencil.

And this doodle began with Terri Stegmiller Slices stencil!
Looking forward to doodling on these more!

Just prior to Mary Beth's Doodling workshop, CBS Sunday Morning aired this video on the benefits of doodling,
too:

And read more about Mary Beth's doodling at her Monday Musings!
Happy Doodling!
