About Doodlebug Cards
You may be wondering where the name Doodlebug came from. Well I have to thank the writers of the 1980's sitcom "Charles in Charge" in which the main character (Charles) is called Doodlebug by his ever affectionate mother. So when my best friend had a baby I started affectionately calling her Doodlebug... Flash forward 10 years and when brainstorming company names I thought of her... and Doodlebug was a natural progression.

So I have been making cards all my life. As a child I loved craft time and I loved making my mom and dad (and yes, even my brother) cards for Christmas, Birthdays, Valentines and every other occasion I can think of. I also love getting cards. Over the years I have spent a small fortune buying cards for my friends and family. As I aged I forgot that I loved to make handmade cards and continued to buy them. I love going into card shops, even now, and looking at all the pretty cards. I can get lost for hours and am known to ooh and ahh and occasionally drool. Pretty sad I know, but I know there are more like me out there, I see you at the market in the summer and I hear your ooh-ing and ahh-ing!

Over the 8 years that I worked for the Y, I had the pleasure of taking some exciting and interesting courses (staff perk). One particular class I was roped into was a card making workshop. My passion was rekindled. Actually my husband thinks it is an obsession, but I think he's wrong, I can stop at any time (grin). This class was so great, I had never scrapbooked before and the teacher taught us some pretty simple scrapbook techniques and made it so much fun it was addictive. The group of us walked out of class that night... more
