Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

I must  confess that I forgot to do my post for TioT on Tuesday, so I'm hanging my head in shame. Our theme is winter wonderland. Anyway, here it is:



It's also ideal for Jo's snowy winter challenge at AJJ.
And as there are lots of faces, I am also linking to Nicole's FFO

And the tag is, of course, meant for Tag Tuesday where Pinky is hosting with the theme of trees. And yes, I'm late here, too. This has not been as easy week!



And I am also linking to Gillena's Friday Art Fun.




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

  8. That unrealistic image had me laughing. I was totally in awe of how you created that tag. And I think your TioT entry is fabulous. You might be running behind, but your art is still stellar.

  9. Hi Val, good morning! We've got snow here - have you! I hope it goes away before it's snowball throwing time! Love your snowy pictures, both are very cleverly made, you get the perspective right. And yes, there are people I would like to smack! Hugs from us all, Sarah

  10. Thanks Sarah. I'm sure your kids will enjoy snowballs! I'm not a fan of snow at all, but it does look pretty before it gets dirty and mushy. Have a great weekend, hugs to all!

  12. Hello, Valerie: I don't think you should hang your head in shame. Forgetting things is one of the privileges of old age, and if you have been sick too then it is even more understandable. I have been known to go for a book to check something and forget what I went to check! As long as I don't forget to take the garbage out I am okay! There are so many challenges you have to remember. Just look at all those you mention today. And Nicole's FFO challenge sounds like something a nasty neighbour I once had might threaten! I could weave a few choice epithets into that! 'Tis the end of the week and if we have made it so far we have done well! Hugs and kisses - David

    1. Thanks David, that has comforted me! I think we all get a bit forgetful when we get older, and there were really lots of challenges this week, and it's not over yet! Yes, FFO does sound rather nasty, but it's still fun. I would often like to tell people something like this when they get on my nerves, but mostly I have myself under control. But I think nasty things! And thans for the reminder, I need to take my garbage out today, that's important. And we have made it through another week, that's always positive. Have a great weekend, take care! BIG hugs to you and Miriam xxx

  14. I had to laugh about "sitting on the floor." I know how my aging body doesn't like it when I do that.

  15. Sorry to hear it's been a tough week. Hopefully the weekend will be better. I am loving your wonderful winter scene, and it is perfect for Jo's challenge too. I like that tag too. That pathway is as enticing to walk as the one you had on your AJJ page. Hope you're having a nice Friday and weekend ahead. hugs-Erika

  16. Hey no shame at all. Life is busy and forgetting one little thing is quite OK. LOL Besides how fun is that art page? And the tag is just gorgeous. I love the funnies today too. Have a wonderful day and thank you for joining FFO.

  18. Those are both beautiful pieces and perfect for the theme! I'm sorry to hear things have been bumpy but hoping by now that it's looking up a little bit. The funny about being on the floor cracked me up. Truer words!

  25. Lots of happy faces enjoying the winter day, Valerie! I'm enjoying the cold much less this year. I seem to always be wrapped up in my fluffy housecoat. Terry hates the cold, so we are headed for Hawaii in January. I love your tree piece and the Steinbeck quote. The quote is true for so many opposites in life. And I love the funnies, especially the gift-wrapping one which I can so relate too. As a matter-of-fact, I'm not sitting on the floor to wrap any Christmas gift this year ~ lol! I hope the coming week is an easier one for you! Please take care of yourself! Hugs to you!

  30. You are late in posting and I am late in commenting ... so , we have something in common :) Your winter Wonderland is beautiful and picks up on what we all love about winter as does your tag ... and how true that we need to know the cold in order to appreciate the warm. Oh and how I relate to your little Sloth and the poor man on the floor, Ha! All of your Art for Fun are wonderfully funny ... you make me smile. Be well, Valerie and stay warm.

  34. Love your Tag Valerie, something I've always liked is the photo effect, its so crisp, made more nostalgic by the little cutie down in the corner. Hope you are continuing to improve xx

  35. I love both of these scenes Valerie. No snow here but white all over with a very heavy frost! Hugs, Chrisx

  36. Lovely snowy scene, so different to the other one but both are equally nice. Hard to choose a favourite between the scene and the tag, both so contrasting. I do like the little figures in the scene and once again your funnies are great. The first one is me this week.
    Hugs, Neet xx
