Tuesday Mixed Bag

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting   new challenge at TIOT 
-quotes-
so we need to see some words of wisdom on your projects. Projects of all formats are allowed, and you have 2 weeks to link your creations to us - hope to see lots of you at there!

I made a hybrid piece, using photos of the Basilica, Erika and a bird in a tree. I have given it bright colours - not my usual choice - to underline my message.




For 99 faces I have another doodle face, and I have started doodling again, so there will be more to come.  This is number 94 - 5 more to go.





And as it's Tuesday it's also time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so a big welcome to all the T Gang. I did not manage to get round to everybody in the Gang last week, as I was just exhausted after the Rehab/Boot camp, but as I am now free again, I will get to you all this week.
Today I am sharing some Flapjacks - these are English cookies, made with golden syrup, brown sugar, oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruit - whatever you have to hand. No, no calories. They are sticky and delicious!


And my drink is, as always, cappuccino.


And some photos taken on sunny Saturday:





Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  5. A really wonderful page with the best quote ever I reckon. Great use of your wonderful photograph.

    The doodled face is terrific. She looks a bit shy and maybe even the hint of a blush.

    Nice looking brownie thing and I was pleased to see it was calorie free as I have gained a few calories while the family have been here.

    The photographs cheered me no end as we have had rain and gale force winds and today there is a thick frost and red sky which usually is a sign of something we would rather not have

    Enjoy your day

    Love Chrissie xx

  15. I never heard of these flapjack cookies.Here a flapjack is a pancake, but they look yummy and I would make them. I will have to look for a recipe. LOVE the hybrid piece today too.The colors are great and I love the layout too. And your sketch is also really fun. You are getting so close to 100...bet you are getting excited to complete your challenge. Have a great T day.

  16. Yumm! I love flapjacks! But I'm trying to lose weight so the flapjacks will have to wait.
    That is a great quote you have chosen.
    And I love those buds on the bush. Yes, spring is on its way.
    Have a great week,
    Blessings,
    Lisca

  17. Tolle farbige Collage mit den Basilika-Rundbögen, und auch die Haare deiner Doodle-Dame gefallen mir sehr. Bei uns ist es nur grau, da tun deine blauen Fotos richtig gut! Lieben Gruß von Ulrike

  18. Like Erika, I have never heard of flapjack cookies, but thought they were very weird looking pancakes. Love the looks of them. And of course, I'll gladly share a cappuccino with you.

    Those totally unlike-you colors fit the quote so well. It turned out to be a gorgeous piece. And the doodle is fabulous. I LOVE the springtime hair, too.

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful (as always) photos, your wonderful art, and your flapjacks and cappuccino with us for T this Tuesday.

    Sorry I was so late getting here. I'm having computer issues again.

  19. LOVE the colors of that sweet hybrid piece Valerie! Your portrait drawing is really lovely. I don't know-those treats look dangerous to me:):) Always love the outdoor photos esp. along the waters. Happy T day!

  20. Hold on to the cappuccino and flapjacks....I'll be right over:)
    Your doodle drawing is so delicate. And I love the thought behind Blue and painting yourself a different color. Not to mention the color you picked:)
    Hugs

  21. Oh those colors are beautiful and illustrate your quote perfectly liebe Valerie.
    Your treats look very delicious and tempting ♥
    The budding branches made me think of Pussy Willow at first glance.
    Happy T Day oxo

  23. beautiful colorful art work! I have an art friend who just put purple dye in her hair one day on a whim...guess that would qualify as 'color yourself!' always enjoy your lovely photos, the sticky bars look yummy, and the doodle face is lovely! happy T day...so glad you made it through boot camp! ♥

  26. Fantastic quote for your journal page today. I think I'll paint myself a bright, sunny yellow. Yellow and orange are not my favorite colors but when I think of spring, yellow always comes to mind. Your face sketch is terrific again today, Valerie. Hugs,
