Hi Everybody!
It's a rather windy day again here, so I've been busy in my arty kitchen, playing around instead of being good and doing housew**k. It's not too cold though, the spring flowers are all doing well and trees are blossoming.
Paint Party Friday is celebrating its 8th birthday this week, so congrats to Eva and Kristin for keeping it going for so long. It is my fave challenge blog, as there are no rules and no themes - we just need to join in and be happy:
And some pages from my journal:
Some photos from my walks this week:
The seagulls have been very active, they seem to love windy weather:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hi Val, I just saw this as I was closing my laptop for the evening. You have made some beautiful art again. The celebration piece with the Haring figures is fabulous, as are the other pages. Great photos as always, love the seagulls especially. Off to bed now so I'll wish you a good night. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteLovely birthday piece for PPF's 8th birthday and beautiful journal pages. Wow spring is busting out all over there! It is freezing here just till Friday hopefully.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of your walks, Valerie. You live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteAs for your pages, they are simply GORGEOUS. I need to try a llllllllot to be able to make some wonderful creations. Hugs, my dear friend.
Wow-8 years for PPF. Wow. Loving the celebration page and your journal too. And wow, so many spring blooms. They are so pretty. It is so nice to see plants 'coming back to life" after the winter. And are your seagulls gulls or terns? I am not sure because I don't know what German sea birds are like, but they look a bit like terns. I hope you had a great Wednesday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThere are always various types flying around, we get gulls and terns - and they are all noisy!
DeleteFun pages and lots of energy!!!Love the daffodills and the lady in the window! Thanks for your wonderful photos!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post to celebrate and gosh those blossoms are just spectacular...awesome love love love.xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful way to celebrate the kick-off of year 8 at PPF. It's a great page.
ReplyDeleteYour journal/altered book pages are stunning. So springlike, dazzling, and romantic. Such attention to detail, too.
GREAT photos today. I think you can say these were mostly for the birds (grin)!!
The birds are certainly very dominant just now, they all seem to have spring feelings.
DeleteA lovely celebrative tribute to PPF Valerie :D)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal pages and their quotes. My favourite is Home Sweet Home.
Lovely to see the quirky little fellow staring out from the windowsill on your walk!
The seagulls are all around where we go to walk as well... always up for a feed.
Beautiful blossoms - enjoy yourself and never mind about the housew***k lol, it can keep for another time :D) xx
fantastic celebration page and others journal pages. I like your photos.
ReplyDeleteThe first piece is celebratory. Love it. And love your journal:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like spring there! That mannequin sitting in the window is a hoot.
Yes, I smile every time I see it.
DeleteSo sorry to have been missing so much - but this is a lovely catch up post. I'm very happy I didn't miss the Shakespeare - lovely! - and the dancing mannequins celebrating are fabulous. Your photos, as always, capture the fresh air and delight of the outdoors. Amazing tree blossom... and those birds! New York is still definitely in winter - no signs of spring yet, really. I'll keep watching though!

I love the way you're celebrating the challenge anniversary :) It looks like Spring has come where you are. Wonderful flowers!
ReplyDeleteYour journal pages are very beautiful and your challenge page made me smile. The dancing, bouncing figures look like they're having lots of fun. And I'd rather do art than housework, too. Wow! Spring is so far ahead on your side of the world. We're still under piles of snow and the temps dropped to below Brrrrr this week. I really enjoyed seeing on the flowers on your walk. Enjoy your day
ReplyDeleteHappy 8th birthday to PPF.
ReplyDeleteI did like your beautiful journal pages.
Fabulous to see all of your photographs, especially the seagulls flying high.
All the best Jan

Die fröhlich bunte Geburtstags-Seite mit den lustigen Männchen sieht so schön lebhaft aus.
ReplyDeleteDie romantischen Seiten mit Shakespeare und Rosen sind auch total schön. Aber auch die Seiten mit den schablonierten Tulpen mag ich sehr, alles frühlingshaft schön.
Die Fotos zeigen auch den Frühling, beeindruckend der Feuerdorn mit seinem leuchtenden Rot. Hab ein schönes Wochenende und einen schönen März.
Ganz liebe Grüße
Sabine
Your journal looks lovely, Valerie, and so do all those wonderful blooms.
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of you and hope you are getting some help for your toes.

ReplyDeleteI do love these *This n That* posts Valerie. Makes me feel like i've spent the day with you :)) There's so much groove in your PPF page, makes me want to get up and go after i've given the dog her meds of course hee hee!! Love your ode to Shakespeare too, that's a stunning rose.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been very strange here over the past few days starting off bright and beautiful but finishing with high wind and heavy downpours. I'm glad this weekends Celebrations are indoors and not out.
