Eebs Doodles and Dubble Letter Words

I know "Dubble" isn't a word, but it should be because it has a double letter in it. If the word that describes double has a double letter, it provides an example of what it means within itself. You can see why it should be spelled "dubble".
I like to doodle. My daughter is an excellent doodle-er. I think she even out-doodles me. Here are just a few samples of my Darling Daughter's Doodles (three Ds! or DDD or 3D!).

Look! Cookie Doodles! (three double "o" words in a row- that's like double (dubble) prizes, or something!) In the lower left corner you can see how fantastically iced that cookie is and how marvelously well-doodled it is.

I generally like doodles. I also like miniatures and collections. Collections of miniatures are of particular interest. 

When Google started dooing doodles (ok, so I cheated on the "dooing", but c'mon! double (dubble) "Os"!) –which, I have no idea when they started– it just gave me a little smile anytime it happened to be a "Google Doodle Day" (I think I just made a new salutation). It might be because it kind of combines all three of the above. They are doodles of little miniature pictures, and when I particularly liked one, I would collect it. I especially like it when I learn something new from the doodle; it's a little fun bit of knowledge I wouldn't have known to look up otherwise.

Here are some sample Google Doodles:




















I mean, how can you not love this collection of miniature doodles?! 

Now, the thing about Google Doodles, is they have specific doodles for different countries and people (on your birthday- it will have a "Happy Birthday" doodle. Creepy? A little.) The doodles for other countries opens up a whole new realm of random bits of knowledge you never knew you didn't know. I mean, you could get lost in the wiki-rabbit hole for days! So, it is with fair warning that I give you the URL to go explore current and past Goodles (hah! I mistyped "Google Doodle" as "Goodles"– and I think I like it. I'm leaving it!) from all over the world. If I were you, I would warn someone that you are going on this adventure before you start so that they can come extract you if you don't resurface in a few hours... Enjoy the "Goodles" right here!

  1. I must say that is the most amazing post. I love to doodle and it’s just not something that is ever really talked about. I mean you just do it; you don’t ever really discuss it. I always thought of it as a nervous tick or something that I did to relieve anxiety but I have found that I actually focus better when I doodle. So, whenever there is a meeting or someone speaking at a presentation, I doodle. If someone was to see me doing it, they would probably assume that I wasn’t listening but quite the opposite. I can focus and listen much better when I doodle. Maybe it does relieve the anxiety of being in a crowded room or sitting still (I don’t do well at that haha) just enough to be able to focus.

    This was fun but I still can’t believe I just wrote a whole paragraph about doodling. Who would have thought? haha
