T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend was good and that this week will be even better with  not too much Christmas stress.

This evening we will be celebrating  Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, where bloggers from various countries meet to share their drinks. Welcome to all who visit here! I am sharing a hybrid piece  made using photos of my Christmas endeavours taken a few years back. Coffee and mince pies - there's nothing nicer! I am also linking to Jo's snowy weather challenge at AJJ









Sorry, I'm having problems typing just now, so this post is short.

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

  1. Those mince pies look yummy. I like how you made this page, using the stamps. You had me thinking of Christmas card and sending cheer. And I do love the dog meme. It's so true, and the pup does look cute with those nonpareils . Have a great T day week ahead, and Happy Hanukkah too. hugs-Erika

  5. Hahahah, no, I haven’t seen any Christmas cookies! That jeep is a hoot. Oh no, sorry you’re having trouble typing. Not fun. There’s a thing called Otter? I believe is the spelling. We can talk into the free version and it transcribes for us. Not sure if that’s helpful to you, tossing it out in case.

    1. Thanks Ivy. I have a speech to word programme, but it doesn't work well, and writes things I didn't say, perhaps I don't speak distinctly enough! Have a great week. Hugs, Valerie

    2. Otter is the same, doesn't do all the words right. Does work well enough for me when I need to transcribe a video, but not well enough for me to up to the paid plan.

    3. Yes, all of the word to text programmes snd the same!

  7. Hi Val, good morning! It's raining heavily here but at least there was no ice. I love your 🤶 Christmas page, so pretty - great funnies, too. I need to do a big clean and tidy up before the family comes. Have a great week, hugs from all, Sarah

  8. I can't even remember the last time I had a mince pie, Valerie. I think you should come over here and make them for us. Your bed is made, the pillow fluffed, we are well stocked with coffee, so all is in readiness. Be sure to let me know your flight details so that I can pick you up. I even drive a VW so you will feel right at home in a German car. Yesterday I awoke with a bit of a sore throat and a headache, so I thought I might have contracted the dreaded COVID, but I tested myself and the result is negative, so I guess it is just a common cold. My throat is still raspy this morning. I am happy not to have a long neck like the ladies you create or that would really give a whole new meaning to sore throat! Happy Hannukah, may the menorah in Kiev shine as a beacon of defiance to that butcher, Putin. Hugs and kisses - David

    1. I'm so glad you haven't got Covid, and hope that your cold is soon history! When I can afford the bus fare I wll hop over to visit you, and bring mnce pies with me. Yes, let's hope that a bright light will soon shine for Ukraine, my heart goes out to those poor people who are suffering so much. After Christmas I will be going into the clinic again, I hope they can help a bit. Have a great day, BIG hugs! xxx

  11. I'm going to try the little mince pies this year. I'm the only one who likes it, so a "real" pie just doesn't make sense. Happy T Day!

  12. Mince sounds good! Grocery stores used to have packaged vegetarian mince filling for pie, but not so much any more. I always enjoyed the spice blends in it. I haven't had it in ages.

  14. Hi Valerie, I think he definitely knows where the cookies went Lol!. Mince pies, it wouldn't be Christmas without them. I'm lucky as a parent of a girl my hubby used to teach has made ours for years and they are so good, nothing like the homemade Mince pies. Take care and stay warm. Christmas hugs, Angela xXx

  15. I love how you created the journal page. The stamps are so clever and fun. Loved the snowflakes, the bird, and the mince pies. My grandmother made mince pies and suet pudding every year at Christmas. I miss them. Thanks for sharing this great entry that works so well with both T Tuesday and Jo's theme at AJJ.

    Your funnies are so adorable. My favorite was the snowman DNA kit. Take care, get better, and stay warm, please. Happy Chanukah and Happy Holidays.

  16. Valerie, that is such a beautiful page! hose mince pies look to die for - I haven't had a mince pies since forever. The last one I ever had was in England sometime in the early nineties when I spend my Christmasses (?) in London with my then-boyfriend. Lovely memories. The coffee on your page looks delicious and the dog made me laugh! S/he definitely enjoyed those Christmas cookies.

    1. Mince is a mix of dried fruits and spices soaked in alcohol and put into glass jars to ripen for a few weeks. Tastes good!

  22. Those mince pies look really pretty with the star.
    I'm sorry to hear your hands are playing up again. I hope it soon gets better.
    I loved the funnies, especially the Jeep. My son has a Jeep and I will send it to him.
    Happy T-Day and have a lovely Christmas, if you celebrate it.

  28. Love your hybrid piece but i must say that the snowman funny has me smiling as I write this and I think the smile will last quite a while yet. In fact I am going to share it with my other half. I don't know where you get them all from but they bring me such joy.
    Hugs Neet xx
