Hi Everybody!
Hope you enjoyed your weekend and I wish us all a good and safe week!
This evening we will be starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our lovely and talented Pinky is hosting, with the theme 'Flowers, floral' You always have 2 weeks to join us, and tags of all formats are welcome. Hope to see YOU there! The challenge goes live on our blog at 9 p.m.
I made 2 small and narrow tags, as I need them as tags for birthday presents. The background papers are from Gecko Galz, the card from some recycled cards and the rest was in my stash:
This evening we start celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm greeting to all of the nice ladies who visit here.
I am showing some photos of a trip to a little place near the border to Holland:
I just had cappuccino, my companion had a pot of coffee and 2 slices of cake:
On the way back home we stopped again and had plum pancakes, yummy!
There was a delightful little chapel there:
Between the two coffee and more breaks we walked along a stream and then round a lake:
A dragonfly:

A damselfly that would not keep still!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

ReplyDeleteThanks Aishu, They make nice cakes here in Germany! Have a great start in the new week!
DeleteGreat tags and the photos are beautiful! Wishing you a fantastic week Valerie. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha. We had rain here again yesterday, but no damage here, some places in Belgium were hit really badly again. Have a great week!
DeleteHi Val, good morning!. Another lovely post, with so much beauty to see. It looks a great place to walk around that lake in the woods. The tags are very pretty, love the colours. Have a great week, take care, hope you are feeling better! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. hope all is well with you. Take care, have a great week, hugs to you all!
DeleteGood morning, your tags are beautiful. and I really enjoyed the photos near Holland, yum those pancakes look so good-loved all that fruit baked in, great spot for cakes and coffee too, loved the pretty blue dragonfly. Have a great new week ahead and Happy T Kathy
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy. I love pancakes, sweet or savoury. Have a wonderful, new week, take care! Hugs!
Deleteus too I haven't made us any in a long time-should do that
DeleteYessssss! Enjoy!
DeleteSuch pretty tags. The chapel looks like a happy face!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb! It does indeed, it was beautiful inside and out!
DeleteLOVE your amazing work of art, and as always your photos are always a journey to me. Bella has finally decided having a nap near my desk is better than going into the crate....she looks contented, will post a pic tomorrow. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, glad Bella is learning! Hugs!
DeleteGood morning Queen of Balconia and its Dominions, Principalities and Possessions: I hope that I find you in good health, or at least improving health, Your Majesty, and that the food that enters your mouth is becoming tastier by the day. Your tags are lovely and cover but two of your many qualities, known to all your subjects, Grace and Charm. I always view these tags as bookmarks, of which I am inordinately fond, and have many. I use them perhaps more than most, however, and some of the large tomes to which I refer frequently can have as many as twenty peeking out atop the pages. The first picture of the damselflies is in fact a dragonfly, the long slender one with wings folded above its abdomen is a damselfly. Having consumed so much coffee before perambulating along the stream and around the lake it's amazing that you didn't feel the need to top up the water levels yourself! You obviously had a glorious day out that day and gorged on your entire sugar quota for the week. 'Tis Monday here and still Monday there too. Enjoy the week ahead, Valerie. Make sure you conduct yourself with grace and charm, but I am sure that you always do. Hugs and kisses. David
ReplyDeleteHi David! Thanks for the corrections, I have altered my text to accommodate them! My food is still not quite to my liking, but I'm hoping one da to be able to sink my teeth into something hot and spicy! Oh yes, (dis)grace and charm definitely apply to me, of dear! Tags can really be used as bookmarks, I use a lot of mine like that as well. But also old envelopes, strips of paper etc when Im too laz to look for a book mark! Yes, coffee can sometimes lead to the need to seek out a shady spot, but there were toilets there, so I didn't need to increase the water levels. Here it's going to be Monday all day, too. I'm rather sad because the farmer mowed the lovely meadow behind the garden, all of the lovely flowers have gone. The words I was thinking about him din't include grace and charm, you can be sure of that! So, I'm off to make myself some lunch. Have a great day, tke care, hugs to you both!
DeleteWow! Those tags are so bright and cheery, and I love them. Plum pancakes sounds like something truly unique and yummy, and I'm always in for the soothing scenery pics. Sending you lots of hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteThanks Ro! The plum pancakes were very delicious. Have a great Week!
DeleteGreat photos. Have a nice day;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Martyna, have a great week!
DeleteLovely tags. They could serve as the gift itself :) The food all looks tasty. Great photos of your peaceful lake walk. It's an inviting area, perfect for my idea of a walk :) Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, flowers are always a great theme.The food was good, too good! It's a great place to walk. Happy T Day!
DeleteI agree with Divers and Sundry, the tags would make great gifts. I love the chef and the food looks awesome. The little bird holding down the check is adorable, too. What a beautiful spot to walk around. Take care and Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ, next week they will be gifted! The place we stopped to eat was really beautiful. Happy T Day!
DeleteI love your tags. So pretty! And yum to all that food!
ReplyDeleteThanks, those Pancakes were very yummy!
DeleteBeautiful floral tags, and lovely photos Valerie!
ReplyDeleteAlison
Thanks Alison, have a good and safe week! Hugs!
DeleteI love your tags Valerie, so pretty! What a fab day out, those cakes look delicious. Take care and have a great week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue! Cakes are unfurtunately always delicious! Have a good week!
DeleteBeautiful tags Valerie, love the colors, they are perfect to add to a birthday gift! Gorgeous walk photos and all of the baked goods look delicious!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Tammy
Thanks Tammy! Have a great week, stay safe!
DeleteThose tags are incredible. I really LOVE both of them, but the one with the butterfly was special. Of course, the one with the lavender flowers was simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at the coffee your friends got. Having to split two little creams is not my idea of fun. I use at least six each time I use the tiny cream pots. However, the pie looks good. I enjoyed the trip around the lake and the beauty of the serene photos. That chef, like everyone else, caught my eye, too. Thanks for sharing your incredibly lovely tags, and taking us with you on the trip near Holland. Gotta love the architecture of the area, too.
Thanks Elizabeth! I never use tose little pots of milk, if I can't get cappuccino I drink it black! It was a nice trip out indeed! Glad you like the little tags!
DeleteI do like your tags.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outing you had, a very nice selection of photographs.
The little chapel does look very nice.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan, it's always good to get out for a few hours! Have a great week!
DeleteThose are great tags and what a super idea to make tags to use on gifts. And you look like you had a wonderful little trip. And a very yummy looking snack with your cappuccino. I have never seen a plum pancake before but it sure looks good too. And a walk, you can't go wrong. I hope you have a super T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. I had never eaten plum pancake before, either, but it was delicious. Happy T Day!
Deletewhat really pretty tags Valerie!! And what another lovely excursion with nice treats, coffee and wonderful scenery. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! Yes, it was a nice little trip. Happy T day!
DeleteHi Valerie, gorgeous tags, so pretty and I love the colours too.
ReplyDeleteLooks as if you had a lovely trip, beautiful scenery and a lovely place for a walk.
Tasty looking cakes as usual and the plum pancakes really look yummy.
Happy T Day
Jan
Thanks Jan! It was indeed a lovely, shady walk for a hot day. The plum pancakes were totally yummy! Happy T Day, hugs!
DeleteHappy T Day, Valerie! Your tags are fun - love the flowers and colors plus the butterfly. The pictures are wonderful as I love seeing different places and things and you have a knack for finding them. I can't decide if my favorite is the plum pancake or the dragonfly, but all are a treat. I would have two cakes too if they looked like those! Looks like it was a great trip. Thanks for sharing. Hugz
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! Make some plum pancakes, they're really good! Happy T Day!
DeleteWow, what a wonderful place to visit! So pleased you shared all the amazing food and views, I so enjoyed the virtual tour and walk 😁. Your cakes and those plum pancakes look so delicious - yum, yum! Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. I didn't try the cakes, but the plum pancakes were fantastic! Happy T Day!
DeleteWhat a beautiful walk around the lake. A lovely location indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe coffee and cakes look inviting and the plum pancakes look really tasty. I have never had plum pancakes even though pancakes are very popular in Holland. But for me the cheesecake really 'takes the biscuit'. My mouth is watering.
Your tags are really gorgeous. Whoever receives those will be so happy!
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Thanks Lisca, it's a beautiful place, and the plum pancakes were out of this world! Glad you like the tags, they are for 2 special friends. Happy T Day, hugs!
DeleteThe narrow tags are really a good idea and just lovely. And so, too, are the photos from your excursion to the village near Holland. I like the chef!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I would have liked to bring the Chef home with me!
DeleteLuv your charm and grace. Thanks for the awesome photos
ReplyDeleteHappy Tag Tuesday
