Hi Everybody!
Today I have another piece for Chris's challenge at AJJ, when we were young. Today I took the theme literally, and used photos from me and my husband when we were young! I have my teddy, he has his toy dog. Sorry, not much bla bla today, I'm extremely shaky today and typing is hard:

I'm also linking to Nicole's Friday Face off!
And I have a sunshine tag for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday, rather late but better than never!
And some funnies:
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I love how you use your family photos. You were such a beautiful child, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteThanks jeanie, I think all kids look beautiful at that age!
DeleteHi Val , good morning. Lovely journal page with you and Peter, so pretty. I hope you are managing in this extreme heat. Love and hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. Those were the days. It's still very hot here, especially in my flat! Hugs to all!
Deletehaha this chicken looks so fabulous:D
ReplyDeleteVery fashionable indeed!
DeleteYou were a beautiful young child,Valerie, which is of course why you are still beautiful despite ill health later in life. Those damn shaky hands must be very difficult to deal with, making simple things difficult, fastening a button, lifting a cup to your mouth, maybe even brushing your teeth. It is quite remarkable that you are able to produce art and I hope this is therapeutic rather than being the cause of added frustration. I am getting to the point where I envy those whose kids still live right down the street or in the same neighbourhood. At the very time in life when we need a little extra help, and maybe some emotional comfort too, our children live far away, sometimes half way around the world. Take good care of yourself. We are all cheering for you. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteThanks David, Beautiful these days is relative! I sometimes wonder who the old woman in the mirror is! Yes shaky hands are annoying, whatever I do, but I have to manage as it is. But it's a great excuse for not doing too much housework! I's hard when families live far apart, and I'm the last (wo)man standing in my family, the others of my generation are all gone. I went for a walk this morning and visited a freind for an hour, the rest of the day has been dedicated to being lazy - reading, hearing music and snoozing! BIG hugs, Valerie
DeleteI love this literal take on Chris' challenge Valerie. You and your husband were both sweet children. I like this take on the challenge, and it is fun to see you as a little toddler. And I hope the shaky hands clear up soon. I agree with David that it is amazing you can make such great art pieces, but then we both know how good art is for the soul. Take care. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, glad you like it! Art is a great help, and painting is much easier for me than writing or typing. It's very hot again here, and it loos like storms are on their was. Look after yourself, and say hell to your bees from me! Hugs!
DeleteThat should have been say HELLO to the bees from me!
DeleteElizabeth asked me to pass on this info: Bleubeard and Elizabeth are still unable to access her computer but want you to know they are not avoiding you and will visit once they are back online.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, kind of you to relay the message! Hugs!
DeleteHow charming! Such sweet photos :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so.much!
DeleteHope you feel better soon. Lovely page and tag, thanks for the memes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a great day!
DeleteOh dear, Valerie. I am so sorry you are shaky. It does not sound good for you to be doing anything much. I do hope this better weather (?) will help to restore your health a little. I hope you don't feel pressurised to provide artwork for your blog - you are more important and need to concentrate on getting well.
ReplyDeleteSaying that, I love the tag, it is so bright and sunny.
What beautiful youngsters you two were. I bet you made a stunning couple when you were older. The page is lovely and I do like how you have married the two images into the one page.
Take care, thinking of you
Hugs, Neet xx
ps the funnis - great, especially the hen
Thanks Neet. It does me good to make some art, takes my mind off other things. I hope the weather will cool off a bit, this enormous heat doesn't help. Yes, I liked the hen, too! Hugs!
DeleteGreat photos 😊 Have a nice day 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks Martyna!

DeleteOh Valerie, I want to just chase the shakiness out of your body, as I am sure you want to do every day. I want you to know how much I love both your page and your tag. The photos of you and your hubby when you were young are absolutely precious. And I especially like that you had your teddy bear and he had his toy dog. So cute! And your tag is amazing - it really does let the sunshine in. Loved reading the "funnies" at the end of your post, too. Gave me some good laughs this morning. Thanks!! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sharon. I am lucky to have some beautiful, old family photos. The shakiness comes and goes, some days I feel alomost normal, whatever that is! Stay safe and well, hugs!
