Winter wonderland is nearly over....

Hi Everybody!

Only one more day and then our winter wonderland challenge at
Art Journal Journey will be over, and on Monday a new challenge will be starting.
Here I have a hybrid piece, using one of my snow photos and some digital elements. The haiku is from Matsuo Bashu.



And here a beautiful happy mail letter that dropped into my mailbox this week from Donna:


A wonderful collaged card packed into the cutest envelope. covered with flowers and pretty tape with music notes, and inside 2 little heart shaped notebooks!
Thanks so much Donna!


This gull was busy having a little snooze:


I wonder what these ones were thinking about?


The dried seed pods look beautiful against the blue sky:


This one is specially for Yvonne:



Bath time for the birds:



Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  6. Winter looks like it has passed you by, except in your lovely hybrid entry. Such a cute little mouse.

    How sweet to think of Yvonne for the boat. It's a genuine beauty, and you are always so thoughtful.

  9. Fabulous photographs Valerie. Just had to save the tree one it is so wonderful.

    What a wonderful winter page with the very beautiful images and a haiku.This reminded me that I used to write lots of those but they were all a bit sad for some reason.

    How kind of Donna to send the card and little gifts. The heart books look interesting.

    Have a great day

    Love Chrissie xx

  12. Hi Valerie, another beautiful fairy winter page today, and the haiku is a perfect match for your page.
    I also like the photo of the tree and the others remind me that spring is on its way. The birds are happy and the boats just keep arriving for a photographic treat. Thank you. Happy you received a lovely Valentine from Donna.
    Hugs,
