Hi Everybody!
Sorry I have been MIA these past few days. I woke
up on Christmas Eve with a temperature,
accompanied by a nasty cold, cough and
sore throat, and had to spend some time in bed
trying to recover. It is slowly getting better,
although my cough is still rather disturbing.
I sincerely hope
you all planned your days better, and that your
holidays were more fun!
Today I am re-showing an A3 mixed media
'clear-off the-table' collage made three years back.
I gave it a work over some weeks back to correct some
things I didn't like. I am linking to
Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin.
The photos were taken on this day I year ago:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hi Valerie love your mixed media work and I do hope you are feeling much better now my friend and I love your nature pics,thankyou for sharing 💋
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you haven't been well, and hope you are getting some help with shopping etc. Look after yourself. Love the journal page you shared, your work is always a feast for the eyes. I'll ring you tomorrow when P goes! Hugs, Sarah

ReplyDeleteValerie, I am SO sorry you've been so sick. It's a horrible time of year for it, isn't it? Although really, any time is horrible when you don't feel well. Those colds stick on so I'm glad you are taking good care.
ReplyDeleteI loved that you went back to your old work and fixed some things up. I've done that too. And why not?! We grow! I love the pieces you shared.
Happy New Year Valerie, I hope you feel better soon. Fantastic journal page and photos! xx

I was hoping you weren't down and out with and just off having fun, but I guess you were down and out. Hope you are improving quickly Valerie. Seems there are all kinds of things going around so just keep washing your hands and get rest. I do LOVE your fixed up page. It is great for the end of the year and appears to me the woman's looking back on her previous year's adventures. :) Take care of yourself my friend. But it is good to see you back online. Hugs-Erika

I have been SO worried about you. You have no idea how much you are missed in blogland.
ReplyDeleteThere's a LOT going on in your altered art entry. I couldn't take it all in the first time, so had to see it again. It's a genuine beauty.
It's amazing how much different a year is when you look back and see the photos from that day last year. Thanks for sharing it. And PLEASE, please get better soon. I'm working on it too, so we'll see who get better first!
