What about a doodle day?

To Doodle or Not to Doodle?
Noticed that I like to doodle? Of course you have, you don't have any choice if you visit here more than once. Incidentally doodle is a funny word, the more you say it the funnier it sounds, doodle doodle doodle. Okay the caffeine has kicked in now, can you tell, can you!
Anyways back to the point of this post, in my blog visiting I have noticed that little stick people are rather popular in the blogosphere. So when visiting fellow stick person doodler That Grrl, I noticed on a post that she was wondering about a doodle meme or doodle something, so I suggested a doodle day.

She then took the baton, not to be confused with the ill fated olympic torch because that would be silly (damn this coffee is good shit) and wrote this post Let's Have a Doodle Day!.

So what exactly is a doodle? Check out the definition here Doodle Definition in which a blog that happens to be on entrecard is linked, the rather excellent doodlage.


What will you need?
Here is a list of some of things that you might use to doodle
*paint program on your computer or something fancier if you have it *pen *paper *crayons *felt tips *pencil *scanner *camera *A blog to show it off, either yours or mine.

If you don't think doodling is right for your blog and therefore that means you get out of it? Think again! You can doodle something still and I will post it here on my blog. So certain grumpy folks that means you and you, surely you cant resist the possibility of doodling anything that takes your fancy. A doodle does not have to funny, look good or have any sense to it at all, it can be anything.

So what I want to know is, what do you think about a doodle day?
There is a Charity Doodle Day on May the 8th so maybe something to coincide with that would be good, read about it here USA National Doodle Day. I missed the UK one, so that will have to wait till next year. Let me know any other ideas you have. Also this is not a serious thing, its just meant to be fun.

An example of me if you don't play along :)

Update Post:
1. From the feedback I have gotten so far, I think I will go with the 8th of May for my contribution, but I will make it a Doodle Week so that you can post something any day you chose from May 8th - May 14th.
2. Do you want a theme? or are you happy to just go doodle mad on whatever topic?
3. This is not a meme and I don't really want a link back, its just something fun that you could just fit into any post. If you want to mention the charity site that would be cool, but i personally have no affiliation with it, I just love to doodle.
4. Do you want a badge if you participate?
5. Check the comments in this post to keep up with the latest doodle banter, but I will probably keep updating this post too.
6. I have decided to do an online doodle, as well as a pen to paper doodle.
