Hi Everybody!
Hope you are all enjoying your week. Time is flying by as always, and there are never enough hours in the day. And to top it all the Lifebook Taster Sessions are keeping me extra occupied, so many great ideas and inspiration!
Today I have another tag for Michele's silhouettes challenge at Tag Tuesday:
And I have one more piece for Elle's Books, cats, tea challenge at AJJ. I love this vintage picture of the children learning, and the school cat is looking after them! I added a colourful overlay in my digital programme:
And some thinkies / funnies and photos:
I love to watch the dawn:
And in the evening the sun often shines over the rooftops and illuminates the tops of the trees:
I thought this photo from FB fits wsell to Elle's challenge:
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
I do like both your art pieces.
ReplyDeleteYour dawn pictures look great.
Happy midweek wishes.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan, have a great week!
DeleteBeautiful tag Valerie, love the silhouettes and I love those little kids and the cat, great vintage picture..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy, have a good week!
DeleteThat a fun tag with a great quote. And true too. (I have a tag in tomorrow's post too.) And that is a wonderful school page for Elle's challenge, and I am glad they have a classroom cat too. And I would love bookshelves like that tree. That is the coolest. I hope you're having a great week. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your tag! Dogs and cats are family! Hugs!
DeleteI love your tag I also love that bookshelf-so awesome happy mid week hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Kathy, that bookshelf is wonderful indeed! Hugs!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! I love both pieces today, the children at school is really precious, and the elegant and willowy lady with her dog. Hope you are feeling better, look after yourself! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. I was at the doctor's today, and then went for a meal with Heike, yummy! Hugs!
DeleteGood morning Your Delectable Business: I think a I need a bookcase like that. One in every room in fact. I am now at the point where I am culling some of my books and each time it is a wrench to let them go, but when one comes in another must go! Not quite one-to-one, but close. I took a load to our naturalists club meeting on Monday night and people gobbled them up with glee and enthusiasm. At least I know they will go where they are appreciated. I can’t bear the thought of taking them to a thrift store. I have a funeral to go to this weekend. One of my brothers-in-law died. He was ninety years old and had dementia, so we don’t need to feel especially sad. The older I get I have concluded more firmly than ever that people live and people die and there’s not much more to it than that. My daughter and son-in-law will be visiting too, so if I am slow getting to your blog, you will understand why. In the meantime be very good (well maybe a little bad), have fun, walk sprightly, drink coffee, hug Heike, greet the geese. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteHi David, good afternoon! I think we would all like that bookcase, it's a lovely idea! I know how you feel, I have had to get rid of a lot of books, too, and it always hurts. I have less room here than in my previous apartment. Yes, people get older and die, sad but true. Have fun with your daughter and son-in-law. I was out with Heike again today, and we enjoyed some delicious food! Being good is boring. Good girls go to heaven, and girls go everywhere! HugsXxxxxxx
DeleteI love your poodle woman! And those skies are really something -- the silhouettes of the branches are elegant.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie! The skies are fabulous! Hugs!
DeleteLovely tag and page, enjoyed the funnies and sunrise
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, enjoy your day!
DeleteLove your silhouette on the tag, very elegant. The image on the page with the kids and the cat is lovely,, maybe the cat can read the book too, they are smarter than we think after all. I wonder what that star is in your sunrise photos, or is it the moon? I can't tell (my eyes). And yes I would love that tree bookcase too, isn't is beautiful? Thanks for joining me for the Books, Cats & Tea September theme at Art Journal Journey this month. Happy Journalling! Elle xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle, everyone loves that bookcase. The star is a planet, Venus or Saturn. Cats are very smart, and my car and dog were best friends furever. And sometimes partners in crime! Hugs!
DeleteI love to see them getting along together. Thanks about the planet, and for showing me that bookcase!
DeleteLoving the silhouette tag with the vintage flair as well as that tree filled with books. Beautiful scenery too, enjoy your coffee and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. Have a good day, hugs!
DeleteI love that book shelf tree. Imagine having that in your home! Lordy, Lordy, what would people think? LOL.
ReplyDeleteIf I like something, I don't care what other people think. I would love one here! Hugs!
DeleteKot jest najlepszym przyjacielem . Bardzo podobają mi się fotografie wschodu słońca są jak obrazy namalowane farbami. Miłego tygodnia życzę.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lucyna, have a great week!
DeleteLove both art pieces. Mornings are a special time of day. seeing a sunrise is a perfect way of starting the day. Love the book tree. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Thanks Jim. The sunrise every day is a wonder!
DeleteI love the funnies and as always the pieces. Hugs Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, hugs!
DeleteSuper Tag Valerie, I like Michelle's theme, should have posted my Tag, but ended up child mind for a long weekend, only had my tablet with me which I don't keep my craft photos on. Anyway, better late than never,lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you are keeping well. xx ( you are next to host 3rd oct. xx )
Thanks, I had forgotten all about it! Good that one of us still thinks! Hugs!
DeleteLiebe Valerie, ich gebe dir absolut recht, der Tag hat nie genug Stunden - aber es ist genau so, wie es das eine deiner thinkies / funnies nahelegt: Das Wichtigste ist, dass man die Leinwand des Lebens mit bunten Tagen bemalt, und ich denke, das machst du (und ich übrigens auch). Du hast wieder sehr schöne Kunst geschaffen - und deine Himmelsstimmungen und Abendsonnenbilder sind ein Traum.
ReplyDeleteAlles Liebe, Traude

Thanks Traude! Eine Welt ohne Farbe kann ich mir nicht vorstellen!
DeleteThat's a stunning tag. Just beautiful. But of course, I loved the journal page you created for Elle's theme at AJJ.
ReplyDeleteSome great photos and lovely shots of your world. Cute funnies, too, especially the cat.
Thanks Elizabeth, have a great day!
DeleteSchön dein Tag und auch dein Journalseite, tolle Ideen sind das alles und deine Fotos sind wundervoll wie deine Witze! Die Zeit geht so schnell um... schon wieder Herbstzeit.
ReplyDeleteSchönen Abend wünsche ich dir!
Lieben Gruss Elke
Danke liebe Elke, die Zeit fliegt vorbei und ich schaffe nie was ich mir vornehme. Hugs!
Deletethise meme with car:D hilarious:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, hugs!
DeleteHi Val, another lovely post. That tree bookcase is really something special! Hugs, Martha
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha. Hope all is well at your place. Have a nice evening and a lovely Friday! Hugs!
DeleteI like all your thinkies/funnies but the book tree - WOW, that is something else. How fantastic is that!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos too, and the one with the golden tree tops is particularly beautiful. You will have me looking out each morning now but I don't think we have much sun around. Our new windows are plain glass (previously leaded) so I am really appreciating the gardens now when I sit looking out.
Love your tag. I remember going through a phase of 20's type ladies and still love them. I have quite a lot of Ertes ladies showing his fashion designs, always a pleasure to use.
I am addicted to period dramas and so anything around the Edwardian/Victorian period always appeals to me and these girls at school are fabulous. What a great picture for your journal and the addition of the cat (which I think is a marmalade one) is just perfect for Elle's theme at AJJ.
Hugs, Neet xx
ps hope you are ok
Thanks Neet, glad you liked the tag and journal page. Those fashions were much nicer and more elegant than clothes today! Have a great week, take care, hugs!
DeleteBeautiful art and sunrises Valerie.
ReplyDeleteI love the book tree too.
Alison
Thanks Alison. Everyone loves that book tree! Hugs!
