T stands for use a quote at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Time is flying, as always, and tomorrow, Tuesday, we will be starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, hosted by our lovely and talented Michele. The theme she has chosen is 'Use a quote'. As always, you have 2 weeks to link to us and tags of all formats are very welcome. I am looking forward to visiting your blogs and seeing what you create. I made a hybrid tag using a photo taken many years back  of the sun and clouds over the Sea of Galilee:


At TIOT you still have a week to link your creations for our
'love is in the air' theme:




Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice girls of the T Gang.

Last week I went with my buddies G and N to a Chinese restaurant near here. It is a huge place, and although it was almost empty when we went in, it soon filled up with people enjoying the midday buffet - all you can eat for 8.90€. And they had a 15% discount running, so we paid even less. The food was varied and good, and we enjoyed filling our plates at the buffet and eating it! You can see more pics, also of the lovely buffet,  here 
 My drink was diet coke, I needed to save a few calories.... G had normal Coke and N a green tea, served in a pretty pot:


Looking out from my seat by the window:


Lots of delicious calories:


My wonderful dessert plate:



And of course, there were fortune cookies:






We will definitely go there again!

This morning I enjoyed watching a sliver of the waning moon in the dark sky:







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

  7. Love the tag and the journal page is beautiful ! The restaurant looks and sounds great and it's always nice when good food comes at a good price. Hard to find these days. Love all of your photos. We have had nothing but super gray skies lately with snow and ice. Makes for tricky walking. Today the sun is finally shining ♥ and a warm up is in the forecast so the ice should leave then!!!!!
    Happy T Day

    Dein Besuch beim Chinesen war bestimmt lecker und die Sprüche wo daraus kommen sind immer lustig und so Hintergründig.

  27. Wunderschöne digitale Kreationen! Den Spruch im Glückskeks könnte ich gezogen haben :) - den sollte ich mir zu Herzen nehmen.
    Deine Fotos sind jedesmal so faszinierend zum Ansehen!
    Happy T Day!

  28. I haven't had Chinese food for a long time and it looks yummy! I think you had a fun day out although not sure your fortune is all that happy of a fortune. I guess it is more words of wisdom. Loving your latest tag too. Very clever how you layered everything and have the sun peeking out. And nice Valentine's day piece too. Have a happy T day Valerie. Hope you are doing something fun! Hugs-Erika

  34. The page with the bird hair girl is stunning, Valerie. That's a uniquely beautiful image. Love your tag too. You're a real wiz with digital effects.

    My mouth waters when I see a Chinese restaurant like that. All we have is a P.F. Chang's, which is pricey and, while the food is good, it's not my idea of typical Chinese food.

    Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen

  35. Wow Valerie! I love your tag and that girl with the birds in her hair is wonderful! Your buffet place looks really good! We like to go to a World Buffet with our grandchildren - not just Chinese but Indian, Tex Mex, Italian and Japanese on the buffet! Your moon photos are fabulous! Happy T Day! Chrisx

  36. I apologize. I would have been by sooner, but I ate something at dinner last night that didn't set well and I got very ill.

    Your art today is superb. I was especially impressed with the beautiful woman's hair and how you treated it. That was simply stunning.

    I always love a good Chinese buffet. They are so good and you have a lot more choices than when you have to order off the menu. And you got a bargain, too. The restaurant looked lovely, and it appeared from the photo there were lots of choices, too. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous tag, your journal page, and your Chinese buffet and diet Coke with us for T this Tuesday. Again, I am so sorry I am late visiting. Still trying to keep it together.

  37. your quote tag takes my breath away! as does your creation for TIOT -- so very lovely! xo

  38. Your tag is beautiful. I love that photo of the clouds over Lake Galilea. And the hybrid piece is stunning. The bird hair is very original. I canh't read the quote very well. I assume is was glitter.
    The Chinese restaurant looks very nice. I am a bit weary of buffets as I don't know how seriously they follow the food safety regulations. etc How do I know if children haven't put their hands in it bla bla bla. But as a rule I really love Chinese food. And I can imagine for that price you will go again.
    Love the photos of the moon.
    Happy Valentine's Day
    and a belated happy T-Day,
    Lisca

  39. Valerie, that tag is exquisite! I just love that you used your actual photo- all the more wonderful!
    How long ago did you travel to the Sea of Galilee? I'd like to see more photos some time.
    The second piece had me giggling again with the "bird's nest" in her hair! When I was young, with long hair, my Mom would brush out the tangles always exclaiming..."this is like a bird's nest!"
    hugs,Jackie xx
