T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody! 

Here's wishing us all a great week. I am sorry that I still haven't visited some people, but I think I am almost caught up now.

Today I have 2 last faces to share for Erika's Let's face it challenge at AJJ. This was the first of the big haired ladies I made, an A3 piece painted with acrylics:





And this is a photos of me at 5 to complete the row of faces:


This evening we are celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies who visit here.  I found this advert for a coffee shop here:


And this one needs no explanations!


Sorry, this is much shorter than usual. Did I here someone say 'thank goodness'?! I am very low on energy just now and need to cut back a bit.

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

  4. I'm so glad you had so many ladies' face with that great flowing hair this month. They were all so wonderful, and this lady with the red hair is beautiful. And you were a cutie at age 5. What a fun page. You look so excited. And you have a couple of great T day photos. I hope your energy comes back soon, and I hope you not only have a wonderful T day, but great week ahead. And of course, thank you so much for all your pages this month. It is much appreciated, especially since I know you haven't been feeling well. Take care. Hugs-Erika

  7. Your post maybe sorter but it packs a big punch with your beautiful faces, loving the colour choice of reds & blacks in the first and how happy you look Valerie on your first day at school. My Mom has picks of me on my first day, I can picture it as if it were yesterday. I'm hoping February gives you that extra energy you need.
    Take care of yourself Big Hugs TRacey xx

  11. Good morning Valerie: First there were two eyes, then there were three, and now we are down to one. Not only that, but it's closed. However, I think she is winking at me coyly and you just captured her in mid wink. She and I will get together later and hatch our nefarious plans. As for that little girl of five, pictured in front of George Washington, she is SOOOOOO cute, and looks so happy. Of course, she grew up to be a knockout version later in life, and along the way discovered more exciting and unusual birds than anyone EVER in the long and storied history of ornithology going all the way back to Plato - and that was even before George Washington. I hope that today you are feeling a little better. You are overdue some serious relief. Hugs and kisses, David.

    1. Hi David! The eyes may vary, but you can't say I haven't offered you a variety of nice girls this month! I'm wondering about your nefarious plans.... Glad you like the little Valerie, she enjoyed going to school and learning! And recently she has seen more strange birds! Short answer today, I hope I soon have more energy! BIG hugs, Valerie

  19. Feel better soon, dear friend. I love the lady with the stunning red hair. She is a real beauty. You created SO many wonderful faces this month and you have done AJJ proud. To see you as a child for the final face for Erika's theme was pure joy. It's a lovely journal page with you as the terrific focal point.

    Welcome Prince Coffee House. I'm sure when you are feeling better and able to get out and about you will take us there. Thanks for sharing this new coffee establishment with us for T this Tuesday.

    I'm still laughing at the cat drinking coffee and reading the paper. It's adorable, dear Valerie.
