Hi everybody, another weekend has flown by and a new week has started. I spent a lot of time at the weekend carrying on with clearing out and moving furniture round, but I think I overdid it. I had bad pains again, and my blood-pressure went sky-high, so I ended up having an early night with pain-killers and hot water bottle, as it was a chilly day, too.
At least I was able to sleep in a room that once again resembles a bedroom instead of an Oxfam storeroom. Okay, the butts over the bed take some getting used to, but I don't see them when I'm in bed....Usually when I clear up, I move the things into the bedroom to get them out of the way, and it was really looking bad. Now it's almost normal again:
For the second week of the challenge over at *The cheerful Stamp Pad* I have made a painted postcard. The background has been painted with several layers of acrylic paint, using punchinella for effects. I sponged through the waste from a TH branch tree die-cut to make the shadowy tree. The bird is from Prima.
Today I am going to have a more restful day, I will have to wait before I tackle the hall and kitchen, but then, I should have a tidy apartment all round....I hope! Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for dropping in!

You have a very unusual bedroom Valerie but I think I like the originality!
Hope you're feeling better today and that the aches have eased a bit.
Fabulous postcard! Love all the textures and bright colours.
Don't overdo it today!

Post card is sensational the colours and textures sing.
Butts over the bed beats the hell out of flying ducks! XOXO Zoe
WOW! This is gorgeous!
Don't overdo it---rest up! This is a beautiful post card--I love the vibrant colors and the punchinella effects.
All that moving of furniture would definitely take its toll on you. Maybe a few quiet days are what is needed.
This room is so fresh and zingy with wonderful art, did you alter them?
It is much cooler here today with rain and they have forecasted snow for the weekend.
Wishes

Your tree is just lovely!
Your bedroom looks soooo cool...butts and all. I love your little card too. :-)
Beautiful postcard!
The butts over the bed really cracked me up. LOL
hugs lynn
Oh noooo, sorry to hear about your over doing it... take it easy, Valerie! ((hugs))
Wishing you well, always.
Thank you for posting the pictures, the butts over the bed made me smile today :]
Love it!!
Mmmm, nice shiny bottoms ;D
This would be my husbands dream room, lol! I love how they look over the bed too! Such a happy pattern in your curtains (I am shopping for some to match my yellow quilt) which is not as fancy as yours. Love the texture in the postcard too!
I have decided we all need butts over our beds!!
your bedroom looks beautiful! But then you are an artist, I would expect no less! Pretty postcard too!
Hi Val, Love your cozy bedroom, so fresh looking. I have an Oxfam bedroom right now, I need to clear out badly, think you have me thinking about it. LOL
Were you a proctologist btw. Love those butts. LOL
Take care and the tag is spectacular.

Yeah, inspiration mosaics were not on my radar til I saw it on someone else's blog and wondered how to do it. It really only took 5-10 minutes since I already had a stack of flickr faves. Plus, it looks cool! :) Thanks for the visit.
Those butts gave me a smile. So artsy.. And your post card looks fabulous.. Take it easy my friend.
Another gorgeous bolt of color! Bravo! xoxo
Gorgeous colours on your post card and cute bird. What a lovely sunny room too with a touch of humour! x
Stunning! Love the ghostly tree and all the bright colors through the waste.
