Hi everybody!
We had another wonderful, spring-like day with lots of sunshine, and I just love walking with the sun warming my back!
At Moo Mania the theme is London, which is, of course, just right for me. I made a very simple tag, using a stamp from Artemio. The background was distressed with stormy skies, London Fog and tumbled glass DIs. I stamped the image with archival black and clear embossed it, the birds were drawn, The label was in my stash. I fixed the tag to some hammered and distressed card. The Tower of London is very precious to me, as I was born and grew up just a few hundred yards away, and we often used to play around there, and at the Tower, or go bathing at Queen Mary's beach by the Tower in the summer. When I see the Bridge I feel I am home.

Today I walked to Schloss Kalkum and visited the ducks. I hope you can see how much better my eye looks today!
The ducks were, as always hungry, and enjoyed their bread and salad leaves.
And I found the wonderful flowering crab-apple bushes in the hedge in front of the house where I live.
Here's hoping the sun will shine for you today!
Have a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Oh Valerie ..erstmal diese London Arbeit ist sensationell schön und dann die Fotos!
ReplyDeleteIch sehe wie viel weiter der Frühling bei Euch schon ist..
aber er wird zu uns auch bald kommen, die kleinen Spitzen meiner Tulpen im Beet machen sich an die Arbeit...

Danke dass Du auch schon für MOO MANIA & MORE so eine tolle Inspiration gewerkelt hast!
Wunderschön!

Gorgeous image of the bridge and great tag, love the photos. glad your eye is still improving xx
ReplyDeleteI like your tag which doesn't sound all that simple to make.
ReplyDeleteThe ducks must always be pleased to see you, salad leaves they say, yum, nobody else brings those.
The boy ducks are looking spring fresh with their glossy green heads.
They are greedy for any sort of food, but they LOOOOVE those salad leaves! I always save the outer leaves when I wash my lettuce so I have plenty to take for them!
DeleteEnjoy your spring, we had to shovel snow today! Beautiful tag and photos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful London tag--the image is terrific.
ReplyDeleteBet the ducks cheered when they saw you again :)
What beautiful photographs and the blossoms are such bright colours-a feast for the eyes. Talking of which--so pleased your eye is much better.
Have a great day
Love Chrissie x
I think they cheered when they saw the plastic bag of food in my hand....
DeleteLove your London tag. Super photos too. x
ReplyDeleteA lovely London tag Valerie and what fabulous colours the apple blossoms are. We had a lovely sunny (but still cold) weekend too, a bit overcast today but at least the days are getting longer now. Have a nice day! Xx
ReplyDeleteA fabulous tag and beautiful photos.

Wonderful tag of London! Your photos and walk are gorgeous! Glad you eye is healing along nicely! Enjoy the week!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, what a darling London tag. Love the image!! Your pics look so springy. Please send some warm air our way. We are only 14 degrees this morning and covered in ice. Really unusual for sunny Texas!
ReplyDeleteHugs
If I could, I would - just read your blog, the weather does not sound like spring! Hope it will soon get better!
DeleteLovely to see Spring blooming somewhere, your photos are gorgeous! Love your tag, the bridge looks great on that background, fond memories for you I'm sure. Big hugs, ~Diane
ReplyDeleteI love your tag Valerie, and your photographs are as beautiful as always. It really does look like Spring is coming your way. Glad your eye is feeling better too :-) xx
ReplyDeleteSo pleased your eye is looking a lot better Valerie :) Such a fabulous tag :)
ReplyDeletePlease send us some of your sun I fed up with the rain :(

Wish I could!
DeleteWunderbares Werk... sieht toll aus! Sehr schöne Fotos ... bei dir ist der Frühling schon angekommen!
ReplyDeleteAlles Gute weiterhin, LG, LonettA
No Spring yet. Cold and damp but no snow thankfully. Our duckies won't eat bread but love all manner of vegetable trimmings....even squished tomatoes. They are always amusing to watch. xox
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you are doing so well, and the beautiful photos prove it! That tag is so pretty, too. When I visited England, we drove across the bridge which was just amazing!
ReplyDeleteOooh valerie,das tag sieht suuuper toll aus,und die Bilder sind wunderschön,der frühling ist bei dir angekommen,klasse.
ReplyDeletehier blüht es auch an allen ecken,nur vergesse ich immer den Fotoapparat um Bilder davon zu machen,und mein Handy ist nicht mehr wieder zu finden *grmpf+mein schatz hat mir gerade eins zum übergang vermacht *freu*
hoffe deine Augen heilen gut und wünsche dir weiterhin gute Genesung.*knuddel*
Alles Liebe Deine Jeannette
Beautiful tag Valerie - you have talked about playing in London after WWII. What a different city it was then. I have loved every minute I have been lucky enough to spend in London. I have only been twice but those memories are very fresh.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that your eye is getting better and better. My eyes must be getting worse because I cannot see the picture of your eye!
