T Stands for This and That

Hi Everybody!

Tomorrow we are staring a new challenge at
Tag Tuesday - all creatures great and small, hosted by
our lovely Wilma. I hope you will have time to join us in the next 
2 weeks. I have just been doing digital crafting this time, as I
have not yet been well enough to get back to the grind.
'All things bright and beautiful' is the first line of an English 
children's hymn. My first thought with 'all creatures great and small' 
was Beatrix Potter, and her famous and lovable creatures:



For Elke's challenge 'landscapes of the soul' at
Art Journal Journey I made a digital piece using images from 
Mischief  Circus, Serif and me. I am also linking to Digitally made,
Halloween or use.....purple:



Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a big welcome 
to all of the ladies of the T group. My drink is usually coffee, but
lately I was feeling so bad I didn't even want my coffee - that
is a bad sign!


Sunday's sunrise:






Some photos taken last time I was out and about:






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

  9. I love the tag with the adorable Beatrix Potter images. Its a super new theme.
    Your digital page looks awesome and how you used the head silhouette to create a calming yet thought provoking scene is Fantastic.
    The photos all look super, the leaves have really turned autumnal.

    Der Tag och wie süss der ist so goldig die Tiere auf dem Land sp romantisch!!
    Schön der Engel im Schuafenster und die Pilze tolle Fotos von ihnen. Und das grösste mit dem Fahrradständer im Laub ich musste laut lachen, weil da stand vor Jahren mein Fahrrad auch schon mal. Es berührt mich immer wieder diese schöne Erinnerung dort !

    Lieben Gruss Elke

  13. What amazing art you chose for us today. I like that tag you made and it gives me an idea for one I might try. I also like your AJJ entry, too. It's really beautiful and so nice to see you are at least working with digital.

    Your photos are superb. I love the shots from town. They are really lovely, especially the bicycles and the leaves.

    You must REALLY be sick if you don't want coffee. Now I think I need to call a doctor for you if you don't want your beloved caffeine. Thanks for sharing your lovely art AND your cappuccino with us for T this Tuesday, but please get better soon so you can drink the real thing soon!!!

  14. Dear Valerie I have not been in touch so I did not know you were not well. I hope it's nothing serious and you are mending. Sending thoughts and good wishes for your health.
    Your tag is just darling, and the dark fantasy piece-LOVE!! I know I'm really sick too when coffee isn't appealing:(
    Beautiful autumn scenery along the Rhine. I don't think I would have walked away from that angel though:):)
    Get well, and happy T day!

  15. The tag is just precious. Beatrix Potter's creatures are perfect for the hymn. The journal page is stunning. Love all the imagery. Fall is a lot further along at your house. With all the leaf drop. The mushrooms look like little umbrellas. Too cute. Hope you're feeling better and will be able to enjoy your coffee soon.

  24. I'm sorry to hear you're still not feeling well, Valerie. Yet still you found the energy and inspiration to create some beautiful art. The Beatrix Potter tag is darling and the AJJ page is absolutely stunning! I enjoyed your autumn pictures about town as well, especially the bikes and the mushrooms popping their skinny little heads up through the leaves.

    Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen

  26. What adorable inspiration from Beatrix Potter! I loved her stories and artwork as a little girl. Coffee is a must for me every morning however when I am sick, it is one of the last things I want. Your coffee appetite will bounce right back. :) Those mushrooms are the cutest!
