I'm so pleased to see this thread. I am usually the one in meetings at work doodling on my notepad. Sometimes I keep the doodles, not the notes.
I'm not very good at drawing; horrible at painting, but I'm creative and like trying different things. Lately it's beaded bracelets and earrings - I can make a pair of earrings while driving to work at stop lights. Scary huh? (and they worry about people driving while talking on cellphones...)
