Thursday / Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. I had a couple of stressful days, but hey, that's life! 

Today I have  another journal page for Aimeslee's challenge at AJJ. Here I have altered an older piece and then added it to a digital background. I like making these mixed pieces:



Taken in a neighbouring town:


And some more flower images:





And some faces for Nicole's FFO and lots of petals for Rain's TADD:










I am also linking to Rain's TADD (petals) and Gillena's Friday art and fun.

And some thinkies / funnies:





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

    Today art is great. But I thought the lady in flower dress up is pretty neat.
    Coffee is on, and stay safe.

    Hi Val, good morning! Love your art today, and the flower lady is wonderful. Does she always walk around like that? This week is flying by, and I don't think I have got anything done. Today I must at least get the washing and ironing done! Have a good one! Hugs from us all, Sarah

    Your journal page is beautiful and so are all those great faces. The lady wearing all the flowers is nothing short of a one-woman show! I cannot stop laughing over that cockroach funny - it made my day LOL

    The yellow of your new art piece is so warm and cheery Valerie. I love it. And it is great to see and see again all the lovely petal pieces. They are really really lovely. And that girls flower outfit is amazing. I think I need a plastic cockroach too, but I don't know if my husband would even notice it-smile. Happy Thursday. hugs-Erika

    The highlight in this post is the young lady who walks around bedecked in flowers. That would be quite a sight to encounter on the street. Maybe you should dress like that, Valerie. Who knows what attention you might attract, and I am sure that a few butterflies would be happy to keep you company, maybe even a bumblebee or two - if there are any left. Then we have those long-necked beauties with hair flying to the four corners of the Earth so there is lots to keep a fellow occupied here. I had better make sure that Miriam doesn't see the one about the cockroach in the bathroom, or guess what I'll be finding there! Enjoy what remains of the week and the weekend that will soon be upon us. Hugs and kisses - David

      She certainly looks good, but I think I will leave it to others to pose as a flowery bush. But it might be something for you, the birds could nest in the flowers, and you would be an absolute magnet for bees. Okay, don't let Miriam see the cockroach funny.....Have a wonderful day, take care, hugs, Valerie xxxxx

    The flowers images are magnifique and I love all the faces.

    The lady in the flower dress was a marvelous photo catch. Of course I am wondering if she could possibly be comfortable if she sits down while wearing it.

    Hi Valerie, it's funny how some old artwork can come to life so long after it's birth and work so well with something new and works to perfection. Love it. Loving the flowery dress too, brilliant. Good collection of funnies, I loved the Cockroach one especially and might just try that Hee! Hee!. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Angela xXx

    I would love to meet the women bedecked in flowers. I am guessing she is a real hoot! You art is Spectacular, Valerie starting with the first piece with the wonderful discussion of "the real you". All of your ladies are beautiful and the Pup ... "My Best Friend" reminded me of my Izzi, who was indeed my best friend and I still think of her and miss her every day. The eagle made from rocks is awesome and I hope whoever made it figured out a way to take it home and mount it somewhere ... to beautiful to just leave on the ground. Your artsy ladies are always the best. You have such a talent and your creative mind is full of splendor. Thank you for this post, I loved every piece ... and I hope your stressful days have past ... I agree, part of life :)

    I'm not sure you will see this, but I LOVE the hybrid entry you gave us for AJJ. It is a real beauty. It is certainly worthy of Aimeslee's theme at AJJ.

    You packed a lot in this post. I am certainly impressed. Loved the dress and shoes on that woman. Really flowery.

    I loved the funnies, especially the monkeys on the ark and the eagle. I hope you are feeling better by now, dear. I know how stress can affect your life.
