T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a good and restful weekend. Sorry I have once again been MIA, I have been very down and didn't have the energy to do anything. Let's hope this new week will be better.  First off I have a journal page for Mia's 'add a photo' challenge at AJJ. I have a colourful painted and scribbled background. The photo is the bird on the branch, a winter photo from which I digitally removed the background:



And I have some coffee memes and pics for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party which begins this evening, and I would like to welcome all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit:


My huge coffee cup:


My fave breakfasat -yogurt and a banana:


And more frothy coffee:











I want to colour my hair:




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

    I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling down, if you have no energy you can't be bothered to do anything can you? My answer to most problems is a cup of coffee and a bar of chocolate - ok maybe not the answer to my weight problem! I love your digital art, but then I always do! Take care of yourself and I hope you have a much better week, Sue xx

    I am staying with my daughter in Ottawa right now and yesterday I had a breakfast you would have approved of, Valerie - Greek yogurt and blueberries. It was delicious. We have been out in the snow doing lots of birding and had wonderful close encounters with deer too. Today we will make the long drive home. When we left on Friday there was no snow at all in Waterloo, but here there is lots of it. Quite a contrast. My birthday is at the end of February, but we won't be seeing Caroline and her family before then so they gave me a gift last evening, and had a birthday cake with candles. We don't usually do any of this, but a significant milestone is coming up so they wanted to mark it. Andrew, my son-in-law is an astronomer so they presented me with a plaque of the night sky as it appeared on the day and location where I was born. Quite special I think. Hope you are feeling a little better. Hugs and kisses - David

      So glad you have had a nice time with your daughter, and tell her she has a good taste in breakfasts! Now that milestone sounds interesting, tell me more! The plaque of the night sky specially for you is a fantastic idea! Have a safe journey home, hugs! xxx

    Liebe Valerie, ich dachte schon hoffentlich nichts passiert aber das langt auch diese Niedergeschlagen sein ... ich drücke dich mal ganz lieb...
    Dein Journal ist grossartig geworden, es passt für die Stimmung! Mir ist heut auch irgendwie zum weinen zu mute trotz dass ich Fahrrad gefahren bin und draussen nochmal war aber dieses blöde Wetter und diese Warterei auf den Terminen, da ghets nicht vorwärts hakt am Santitätshaus und das andere noch so lange macht mich klirre.
    Es geht weiter auch mit Tränen oder mal Traurigkeit oder Niedergeschlagenheit das darf auch mal sein, du bist so tapfer immer zu und munterst so viele andere Menschen auf mit deinen Worten und deiner wundervollen Kunst! Viel Kraft wünsche ich dir!
    Liebe Umarmung Elke

    Lovely art. Especially the clever use of the digitally extracted bird. I have tried that in Photoshop but I make a mess of it.
    The dog hiding the cat made me smile.

    Dear Valerie, I'm sorry to read that you haven't felt well and I sincerely hope that this week will be better for you. Your latest piece of art is just beautiful. I like the colors of the background and of course the bird - I love everything with birds. I have no idea how you do all this digitally work (removing the background? I would love to do this in some of my pictures...), but the results are always stunning. I had to laugh about the dog hiding the cat.

    Love your journal page. Very colorful. The coffee sign is me all the way. I once told a waitress that we knew and loved to talk "coffee first, talk after". She got my coffee and now shows up with it automatically. The funnies are great. You have a great sense of humor.

    Hope you are feeling better. Take care of yourself.

      I'll be quick. I was drawn to the AJJ page because the background was so abnstract, which contrasted so well with the foreground.

      I laughed at he coloring her hair and I fell in love with the dog and the "katze." Actually, the cat looked comfy.

      Thanks, too, for all the coffee and cappucinno shots for T.

    Your funnies and thinkies are always great, Valerie. I like all your coffee images, especially the one with the raccoon. I don't think I could live without coffee. I was hanging out in the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki this morning. The electricity in our rented condo building was going to be off for six hours, so I ordered coffee and prepared to hangout a long time. Unknown to me, the electric shutoff was cancelled about nine minutes after I left. Such is luck ~ lol! Take care!
