Hi Everybody!
Hope your week is going well!
Today for my doors challenge at AJJ I have a piece with a quote from Helen Keller, which is very true:
I made this A3 mixed media challenge some time back and din't get round to posting it. I am linking to Paint Party Friday:
Beautiful winter mornings:
Frost:
And some funnies /thinkies:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
That is a beautiful door view. And yes, the Helen Keller quote is so true, isn't it? And your butterfly page feels tropical and wouldn't that be welcome right now? It hasn't been too cold here, but it is cold enough that I just let the dogs out and it is lightly snowing. And I just got the ice cleared off the deck today. Smile. And Lucy's comment is so true. Its so frustrating some times. Sorry to hear you are back in the clinic, but hopefully they'll be able to help. take care of yourself please. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. After some freezing days here it's turned mild and windy. 11° today. I have had my first examinations and checks already, lots more to come next week. But it's a good place to be! Stay safe, hugs, Valerie
DeleteLovely quote and beautiful art. Good memes today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, stay safe!
DeleteBeautiful art and I loved the photos too hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, we had some wonderful early mornings here! Stay safe, hugs!
DeleteLast play I was involved in was the Miracle Worker. Although I was stage and hand.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe

ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, everything okay here, and my bed is good, too. I've had the first examInations, there aRE A LOT MORE TO COME, (sorry). TALK later! Hugs!
DeleteA beautiful doorway image and quote, and a wonderful mixed media piece Valerie. Lovely photos too, and great memes.
ReplyDeleteI see from Erika's comment that you are back in the clinic. I hope you are well again soon.
Hugs,
Alison
Thanks Alison, this this a good place to be, and everybody is nice and friendly! Stay safe! Hugs!
DeleteWhat a beautiful page to include in your journal. Helen Keller was very inspirational and I love this quote which I will try to recite as I go about my daily business.
ReplyDeleteLove the Party page - so full of dancing ladies and those dancing butterflies too.
Great funnies, I love the Peanuts one.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks Neet! Helen Keller was really an inspiration. Th doorway is here in Kaiserswerth. Have a wonderful day, stay safe, hugs!
DeleteHi Valerie: I am sure that the clinic is the best place for you to be, but I wish you didn't have to be there. That would be mean that you were healthy and carefree, able to go wherever you you want, get yourself over to London perhaps to revisit the places of your childhood, eat cream buns and drink coffee. The mere fact that you are in the clinic means that restrictions are imposed on you and of course you are only there because you need medical attention. What it means for me to go on like this I am not sure; I know that it makes me sad, however, to see a free spirit confined. It brings to mind a beautiful bird imprisoned in a tiny cage, singing forlornly and yearning for freedom. Be as well as you can my lovely, dear friend. I will be thinking of you. Hugs and kisses. David
ReplyDeleteThanks David. The clinic is a lovely place to be, an old villa set in beautiful gardens, but of course there are restrictions and lots examinations, needles being stuck into me and blood drawn etc, but I feel well here in spite of it all. I have a large and sunny room - well, at least when the sun shines! The food is good, and the coffee automat makes wonderful cappuccino. I'm trying to see it all positively! Have a happy new year, all the best to you and Miriam! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteHi Valerie,Im sorry to hear about your fingers and hope that they are not too painful, I have trouble with my hands too, which can be incapacitating at times. Your doors challenge is just perfect with the Helen Keller quote and so true too.
ReplyDeleteInspirational artwork and photos as always. I really enjoy reading your blog and thank you so much for your comments, I am going to try an be more proactive with mine. Best wishes for the New Year - Michelle x
Thanks Michelle! We use our fingers so much, and only realise how much we need them when something goes wrong. Take care, and hope to see you blogging more in the new year! Hugs!
DeleteGreat quote and beautiful art piece with butterflies. I like the funnies/thinkies. Wishing you the best for the new year.
ReplyDeleteThank so much Nancy, take care and stay safe, hugs!
DeleteI love how you added the text to the sky - that's a great doorway and that Helen Keller quote is so true! I love the fantasy page too - very calming, as are those early morning photos. We seem to have rain everyday, not ALL day, but everywhere is very soggy.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Lucy - so many not wearing masks even though they are requested to!
Hope time is passing well in the clinic, Hugs, Chrisx
Hi Chris, thanks a lot. Here it's gone from freezing cold to warm and wind and wet, very strange weather! I love he early morning time, too, so beautiful. Here I have a nice view of the garden from my window. Here I have had lots of examinations already, there'S always someone waiting with a needle! But this is a good place to be. Here we are all masked! Happy new year, stay safe and healthy.
DeleteA beautiful quote from Helen Keller. Both your pages are lovely in different ways. The first is serene and the second is vibrant with colour and texture. Hugs, Teresa
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa. Happy New Year to you and yours, hugs, Valerie
DeleteThe quote is inspiring. We're finally getting cooler and more seasonal weather here but no frost lately.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed. Here it's very mild, wet and windy!

ReplyDeleteBest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae. Helen Keller was such a strong woman, an example to us all! Happy New Year
DeleteI read Erika's comment and was surprised you were back in the hospital/clinic. I know you will be safe there and get lots of great food and coffee, too.
ReplyDeleteYour entry for AJJ is wonderful. Helen Keller is a god person to quote and that door is fabulous. Your other journal page is quite quirky. When I saw it, I thought "controlled chaos."
Another who knows what she's talking about is Lucy. Cute, but true, too. I hope you have a safe and healthy New Year and a far better 2022 than we've had the last two.
Thanks Elizabeth, I'm drinking coffee right now. I have a nice big room, and am being well treated. I told the doctor I was only here for the coffee! Good that she likes coffee, too! Controlled chaos, that's my life! But I even cleared off my work desk before I came her! Happy New Year! Hugs!
DeleteA wonderful quote, beautiful photos and that Lucy cartoon is spot on! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, Lucy is always good! Hugs!
DeleteVery glad you posted your previously unshared page it's an inspiring addition with it's Kaleidoscope of Butterflies what a grand theme you chose I wish I'd had more time to play and share in December. That's a wonderful quote from Helen Keller, i'm jotting that down in my journal dedicated to your theme Valerie. Peanuts Lucy speaks wise words too..
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy Healthy New year Hugs Tracey x
P.s Happy PPF too x
Thanks so much Tracey. Helen Keller was a very inspiring person . Have a good New Year, stay happy, healthy and creative. Hugs!
