Thursday/friday Post

 Hi Everybody!

This painted collage was another piece made during the Lifebook taster sessions. I wasn't too happy with the way it turned out, but I  like the scribbly background! And I do like fairies! I am linking to Erika's 'favourite things' challenge at AJJ and to Paint Party Friday






Today I am sharing the rest of the snowy photos:















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

    Love your fairie ... and I love the fairies too!
    You noticed, when it snows the photos become black and white or sepia ... weird!
    How are you doing today, Gorgeous?!
    Spring is just around the corner! Hugs!

    I don't know why you aren't happy with your delightful fairy, I think she's super, and I knew straight away she's a LifeBook taster lesson. Do you think, maybe, we are our own worst critics? Anyway, I love her.
    Hugs, Deb

    If it has wings, I like it! Doesn't look like your snowfall was too serious, Valerie, a mere dusting, like icing sugar on a cake. We had about 12 cm on Tuesday and I was out shovelling my driveway when a neighbour two doors down cleared my sidewalk with his snowblower, and a strapping young fellow from across the street came to give me a hand to finish the rest. Human kindness is alive and well. A fellow blogger in Western Australia is growing pineapples in her backyard. Now there's a contrast in lifestyles! I hope that all is going well in the clinic. With love from Canada. David

      Hi David, we rarely get large amounts of snow here. How nice of your neighbours to help, snow shovelling is always hard. I am pleased that there are still good people around! Just a short reply today, I have a bad headache! Keep well and safe, hugs to you both!

    I love your fairy. I like how you cut out pieces and put them together. The scribbly background is especially great. It all works together as a fun journal page. Your snowy photos are pretty. We're having some light snow this AM. Hopefully it won't continue all day. Take care and hope all is well. Thanks so much too for sharing this piece at AJJ. Your support has always been much appreciated. Hugs-Erika

    Lovely. The fairy looks like she bloomed in the garden. Your scenery looks like the view out my windows. The weather dudes are talking about another more significant storm on Monday. 😿 Take care and stay warm.

    In my magical thinking head, I always think of Germany as having a lot of snow in winter, but I think we have more than you -- and it is a light snow year. I'm wondering if it is just a light year for you of if this is typical in your climate.

      The south and east of Germany get lots of snow, here in the Rhine Valley it is mostly mild with little snow!

    Why aren't you happy with it? I like the happy colors you used - to me the entire piece says "calm" and "happy". - My daughter is happy about the snow she is experiencing in Germany. I don't really miss it, especially not the wet stuff. However, snow does look nice, especially on a brilliant cold but sunny day. It was so cold here that the mountain tops around us received a dusting of snow. This doesn't happen too often.

    Sorry to read you are not happy with your art here, but I really like it, especially the colours you've used :)

    We've had some rainy days, the sunshine has disappeared! I hope it will be shining again soon.
    I enjoyed seeing your snowy pictures.

    Your page is fabulous, Valerie. The fairy is very interesting and makes me think - the designs imply shelter and warmth. Very cool. That scribbly background is fabulous as are the flowers.

    Great snowy pictures too. It has been cold here (for us) but we only have a bit a frost on the car - one day it was in the 70s! That was a fun day! I am hoping for some snow - something to kill the bugs down a bit so this summer is not too bad.

    I love the fairies - strong and so different from what we normally see. Just love those colours you have chosen and the way she stands out from the gentle wispy background.
    Thanks for the snowy photographs, we have had quite a bit of snow but I have been staying in where it is warm and dry (and not slippery). Whilst this pandemic is on and our numbers are so great we have to make sure we do not have any cause to visit a hospital.
    Glad you are staying safe
