questions?

Due to this community project being run solely by volunteers and advertising executed based on donation we ask every one have patience and provide us with grace as we get this Rockin' and Rollin'.  This project was developed to aid all creators needing alternative avenues for selling their products due to Covid. Our goal at The Doodle Academy is to support all creatives in our area. Please contact us at 580-309-1582 with any concerns or ideas in which you think we could improve this endeavor.
