And I'm still tired! (Well you went to bed too late again!)Need to drink enough coffee to get this written and then bath and probably another hour in bed, or 2, it's Sunday!
And Sunday means sketch day over at Sophia'a Blue Chair Diary, although I just looked at her blog and she doesn't seem to be home. Still, here's what I made.
They are dream sketches again. In the first one someone had taken my ballons away, and let them float so high that they were over the rainbow. Everyone was there, watching, but I couldn't see them again. and was cross!
It has been drawn with watercolour pencils, pencil and black ink.
The second picture has been painted with water colours. It was on of these strange dream scenes where everything was sort of wrong, although it looked normal at the time. There were large building with lots of windows, but no doors leadin in or out, the park was full of fishes and sea weed, and I was getting wild because they weren't driving in the right direction.....
And yesterday there was nothing worth while watching on TV, so I finished off my Mail-Art envelopes. Now I have 5 to bring to the post office this week . It's gonna be happy dragon day!:
I had a happy time playing with lots of stamps, old and new, and then adding other bits and pieces to finish them off.
And to end, a list of senior texting codes, sent me by friend Narda In Illinois, who always sends me something to lagh at each day!
SENIOR TEXTING CODES:
ATD -at the doctor.
BFF -best friend fell.
BTW -bring the wheelchair.
BYOT -bring your own teeth.
FWIW -forgot where I was.
GGPBL -gotta go, pacemaker battery low.
GHA -got heartburn again.
IMHO -is my hearing aid on?
LMDO -laughing my dentures out.
OMMR -on my massage recliner.
ROFLACGU -rolling on floor laughing and can't get up.
TTYL -talk to you louder!
So, I wish you all a nice Sunday, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Journalling dreams is a great idea. Ive been doing it for years. But writing not 'arting' them. Who's stealing or taking away your fun (balloons)? And the house is you. Are you feeling 'out of whack', feeling you are a bit caught up with no escape? We could get all deep and meaningful here. Lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the envelopes!
Sounds like you have some strange dreams! Love the pics though, and the lovly envelopes. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteyou amaze me but perhaps not as much as your dreams! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe text cuts are fabulous so much fun XOXO Zoe

I love your dreams in techni colour. The mail art is superb, hope we hear how it goes at the post office. The texting codes are hilarious, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteI think painting your dreams is a very healthy way to deal with them - very revealing. I write - painting would be more fun. Must try it. Yours are always so well illustrated. The mail are is WONDERFUL. I'm not sure it's fair to take ALL of them into Grumpy at once ... do you really think she's ready?????? ;o) Have a wonderful restful day. Love the chat line talk -- will have to forward that to a few of my friends. hugs, Donna
