T sTands for sTill Tired

 Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a good weekend! I stayed home and had a restful time, and am hoping I will get more done this week. Just now I am having problems with standing up, walking, climbing the stairs etc. I hope this is just a flare up and wil go away sooner or later. Sorry I didn't visit anybody at the weekend, I wil not be able to catch up but will try to do my 'duty' this week!

Today I have a tag for  my 'books' challenge at Tag Tuesday. The challenge runs for another week, so hope to see YOU there. This should have read T A G!!:

This evening we will be starting Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here. For my party ticket I have a painting inspired by Kim Dellow  in one of her courses. The background was made with soft pastels, then I used acrylic paints, inks and paint pens;

Last Monday I got some flowers and then watched them grow and develop:

And they are still doing well, as is my balcony garden:

On Friday we had stormy weather, thunder, lightning and a rainbow:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Facing up to Friday

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday - TGIF -  and that means it's time for Nicoles FFO and Gillena's AFFF and more. I'll start with the 'more' - another tag for my books challenge at Tag Tuesday:

For this one I used a pic of me when I was 5, taken on my first day at school. If you look carefully at the background you can see some faded faces there - my grandparents. And that thumb with the dirty fingernail was cut from a magazine:

I painted this colourful hound after a fun lesson with #Emma Petitt, who does such a wonderful job rescuing dogs in Spain:

And then I changed it a bit in my magic programme and added some butterflies for Alison's come fly with me challenge at AJJ:

And some face funnies:

And some painted faces:

Sorry I was hardly around these past 2 days, I had  a couple of very stressful days and needed some rest.

Have a  great Friday, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, snd this time the lovely Valerie is hosting - yes, that's me. This post should have gone up hours ago, but someone forgot  all about it!

Our theme this time is books, and you can make tags with bookpaper, or as Bookmarks, or using characters, themes, or quotes from books et etc. I'm sure you will all have lots of ideas.

Some of my tags are very grungy, I just needed to make grungy things just now, I have been doing so much with birds and flowers lately and I need a break! As always you have 2 weeks to join us and tags of all formats are welcome. I hope to see lots of you joining in - have fun, and stay creative!

A wonderful mural:

Some thinkies/funnies:

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks for coming by!
