my camera and i need to have a chat. it knows all about my ravenous appetite for travel, which came to an alarming halt after the girls were born. it has indulged me in some magnificent
stateside trips over the past year, true. but it has developed the habit in recent months of abducting mr. artsyville - who is quite content staying put - to gad about the world while i'm stuck in the daily doo doo of domesticity, and quite frankly it's starting to chap my gypsy hide. first it was india. then it was china. then it was hong kong. and now the cheeky thing has run off to costa rica without me, once again whisking away my husband as the shutterguy.
so i created a traveling doodlespirit to tag along with my lovely one on the journey this time, and what a ride it was! oh, the things we did and saw in costa rica!
we wandered through the streets and gazed at architecture together. chatted with the townspeople.
saw love and texting in action.
nibbled on plantains, pupusas and other delights.
shopped at the little roadside markets.
and eavesdropped on people as they went about their daily lives.
i wonder where my doodlespirit will go next? if you could go anywhere today, where would your doodlespirit take you?

Love this! What delicious adventures your doodlespirit had in Costa Rica. Can't wait to see where she goes next! If I could go anywhere today, I think my doodlespirit would go to somewhere south of the equator, where it's summer and I could sit on or overlooking a beach, eating fresh seafood and sipping something cool... Good company would be a bonus :)
ooooo! make me a doodlespirit to go with yours! But make mine with one empty bag so I can bring back a lot of chingaderas!
xo
yay for doodlespirit tagging along!
That is a fun idea! Not sure where mine would take me. Maybe to some places I might not have access to otherwise, for example Buckingham Palace at three o'clock on a Sunday afternoon. Or is that spying?!
My husband says I can't have a doodlespirit with bags for fear she'll hit him over the head in frustration. He travels for business, too, and all the farther I've gotten from Ohio is Indianapolis.
One day, I'll be hitting Europe in style.
So inspiring! You know, with your - so good - ideas, you truly stimulate my creativity! I'm so glad I had the chance to know your blog address!
my doodlespirit is on her way to paris, as we speak....with an empty suitcase ready to fill with buttery croissants and macarons!!! here's to doodletravel!! ;)))
Hmm....I've sent my doodlespirit up to my sewing room, to cut out bag pieces so I can skip right to the sewing step! I spend so much time wishing I had more time there...
You are so funny! Our doodle spirits should get together!
This is great!! Aimee, you're a genius!!
Oh my what a fabulous trip. I think my doodlespirit would take me to Hawaii for some ocean, sun and relaxation.
YOU are toooo cute ! This is hilarious!! I NEEEEEEEEEEDDD a doodlesprit!!! Can mine have a chihuahua?
Kitty = Kathleen Tanguy from FB BTW......:)
oooh that's an easy one - back to Switzerland for sure! please come with me Aimee! :D
I'm with Susie. I need LOTS of chingaderitas ys huarachudas! And mine will need very messy bed hair because rolling out of bed just before hitting the pupuseria is what I'm all about.
Sister, you kill me. Your husband is a scoundrel and shall be made to pay for this chicanery. Big time.
that's the spirit!
this puts a huge smile on my face this morning.
how adorable. costa rica is one of my favorite places. my best friend married a tico and lived there for years. i can taste the yucca frita's right now. thanks for taking me on your journey this morning!
I LOVE your little doodle spirit! What does she carry in her suitcases I wonder? And more importantly, what does she bring back??
Hey little lady, let me carry those bags for you.
Tip? No, no, not necessary, I couldn't!
Oh, but I WOULD take a plate of htose nice plantains.
YUM!
yeay! for the doodles spirit- she really showed your naughty camera.... what does it think to go off without you!
AND Aimee how could you do that? how could you ask me where i would go??? now i have been thinking how i havent travelled very much lately.... sigh... would definitely join your doodlespirit in costa rica :) i also would zap to ... i wont start - because once i start i cant stop... remember i am a fellow gypsy!
i love the doodlespirit concept! you are fabulously creative!
what does a doodle spirit pack in her two bags?
lovely trip. i need a spirit too :)
love your doodlespirit!! so clever!
What a wonderful idea - my doodlespirit would be off to somewhere warm and sunning and be able to fit into a bikini!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ohhhhh holy crap, this is funny! Good grief, girl, those had better not be heavy suitcases. They had better be shopping bags! Awwww, beautiful Costa RRRRRRRRRRica. Soon, dear, soon. You will be on the road again.
Love Doodlegirl! and her adventuring spirit! I need her in my car this morning to steer me onto a roadtrip. May I have her cell?

love your doodlespirit...it looks like she got a new dandy doo for her delicious days! x

oh, mine buggered off ages ago. ninjaland is my guess but, who knows, really. she may be in downtown manhattan, for all I know.
yours seems to have turned into a shopaholic, hun. love her hair, though.
What a fantastic idea - I love the idea of a traveling doodlespirit. Looking forward to seeing what she's up to next :)
I love this! (and almost everything I've seen on your blog:) I'm having the best time being inspired by all the creativity you have going on!
Love this ... hmmm, I think I already left this comment on your most recent post ... well, LOVE this!

I like your doodle spirit. Maybe we all should make us one :)
your traveling doodleprint is very charming :)
up to my neck with last minute deadlines, wish i could travel, disappear for a bit, right now...
love, love, love this! here´s to doodlespirit travels!
I LOVE the doodlespirit! Fabulous.
she (you) are so chic and quite the light packer!
I like this idea a tremendous deal... mine would today go to someplace in Turkey. I've never been there and think I'd like the sights. They'd well suit my Tuesday afternoon mood.
g xo
Well how wonderful is your doodlespirit. If mine could go anywhere, it would be a trip round America to meet all the lovely bloggers I have met in bloggy land.
Great way to see the world!!
