New Challenge at TIOT - Halloween

 Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT -

🎃🎃 Halloween 🎃🎃

Projects of all formats are welcome, and as always you have 2 weeks to link to us. Pop by our blog and see what my teamies have made!

I made an A3 mixed media page. I used a textured and painted background which I collaged with various Halloween motifs: 








Late afternoon at the Rhine is always beautiful:



It rained and we had real puddles so I could wear my wellies again:





The fire boat:


Veggies at the market:






I saw this at the tram stop. It says 'wandering building site'. There was no building site in sight, so it looked like it had wandered to the tram stop alone:


The following pics were sent to me by my neighbour Wolfgang. They were on vacation in a wine-growing region:




You can see the vineyards in the background:




An elegant bird house:


Strange wild life from the region:




I asked Wolfgang if I could show his pics on my blog, and he said he is happy that you all get to see them!

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

  6. I love our little visits along the Rhine. The next best thing to being there, and as none of us, well, most of us, are not travelling your photos are bringing me joy to see each day. I suppose I should think about decorating my porch for Hallowe'en, but no one will see it this year, only me.
    Stay safe and well
    hugs, Deb

  7. What a great way to show Halloween. Your journal page is made up of all things I conjure up when I think of that holiday. I really enjoyed the close-ups, too.

    Thank Wolfgang from me for sharing these lovely photos of both the vineyards and the unique wildlife. Hope you have a super day, too. I'm off to bed in about an hour or so.

    2. Wonderful art Valerie, and photos along the Rhine. Wolfgangs photos are great too, I remember seeing rows and rows of vines stretching of up the hills when we visitied Germany.

  18. Love this page Valerie, great background for you spooky images! Love the photos both from you and Wolfgang, how kind of him to send you some. I love the idea of you in wellies just walking straight through those puddles! The Wandering Building sight sign made me smile, don't know why, and now I've gone back to it my mind is working overtime and I've got the giggles! Hugs, Chrisx

    1. Thanks Chris. I LOVE walking through puddles in my wellies, I know I need to grow up, but perhaps not just yet....Have a great week!

    2. And I know what you mean about that sign, I imagines it marching around with a shovel and pick looking for work....

  19. Awesome Halloween page Valerie, you have me wondering about the spider cuisine, I'd like to see how it would be served in a posh restaurant.
    Super photos but not so good to have all the rain.
    Stay safe and I hope your heating problems get sorted soon.

    1. Thanks Yvonne. I'm sure if they served spiders and fried bat-wings in some of these fancy restaurants people would pay and enjoy them! Stupidity knows no bounds! Have a great day!
