This, That and the Other

Hi Everybody!

We had another chilly and windy day here, but the weather

prophets have said that some spring weather should be

on it's way soon. But cold or not, the buds are budding, the snowdrops are peeping out of the ground, and the hope of warmer

weather is growing, too.

I have a card suitable for Valentine's day this week, not really

my thing, but I tried it. The Eiffel tower, the sentiment and the

 Paris couture stamp were in a big box of goodies

sent to me by Gill, thanks so much. I will show you

the rest another time, just don't get jealous! The heart was cut 

from a birthday card, the lace was from an old blouse, and the 

hands were a present from dear Chrissie. The 'love' brad

was a present from Sabine - thanks to all. The white card was in the package
of my new knee-socks....

I am linking to Go Tag Thursday, romance/Paris; Simon Says, 

Young at Heart and More mixed media, anything goes with optional red.

For Linda's lovely '50 shades of red' challenge at Art Journey Journal

I have a hybrid piece, made using a Frida Kahlo stamp 

and some free stencils from Stencilry . I added the stamps of 

Queen Elizabeth, as she is 

celebrating the 65th anniversary

of being Queen this year - congratulations!

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday.

The flowers on my amaryllis are still blooming;

Yesterday I walked through our little town again. This ship, which looks 

like it's carrying mountains of snow loomed out of the haze:

It must be some sort of mineral, but I don't know what:

Snowdrops:

In the basilica:

The golden shrine of St Swidbert:

The font with the strange medieval figures round it:

Every one has a different face, and some of them look

really wicked. I always wonder why such ugly figures got put 

round a font where kids get baptized:

Have a good day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
