Hi Everybody!
Today I have a piece meant for Wendy's challenge , 'Above us only sky' at AJJ. The hair of this lady is filled with the colours of stormy sky and lots of stars and glitter. Sometimes I neeed to play with things that glitter and shine! And I wonder what the 2 birds are up to? Has anybody got an idea?
And I have another snowy piece for Pinky's snow challenge at Tag Tuesday. And you still have time to join us there!
And some thinkies / funnies:
The Rhine is still riding high:
Have a great week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
Oh, she is beautiful with her glamourous hair and the birdies are kissing her cheeks..gorgeous Valerie..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy, hugs!
DeleteI love the green hair and her face. The Christmas tag is festive and so pretty. I hope you are feeling better. I love, love, love, the history meme. Beautiful photos too. Have a nice eveing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, the history meme is so important! Be well soon, hugs!
DeleteI thought of making tags for gifts.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely idea! Hugs!
DeleteLovely lady and a beautiful tag! Thanks for the thinkies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a great day!
DeleteI bet those birds are singing to her, trying to calm her nerves and make her smile. I do like all the stars in her hair. The Rhine is certainly high right now. If it goes much higher the sidewalk will be gone from the looks of your photos. And I had to laugh at Randy stuck to the frig. I hope you're feeling at least a little bit better every day. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika! The Rhein will be rising more, we are expecting heavy rain and storms! I hope your dogs don't swallow magnets! Today I was a bit less tired and have achieved quite a lot, so I hope that's a good sign! Hugs!
DeleteHave a wonderful week. Also, I love the eye. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! On the dog stuck to the fridge.
Huggs!
Yes, the dog is funny!! Hugs!
DeleteHi Val, love your gorgeous lady, she's lovely. Hope you are not doing too much, you are supposed to be resting. Be a good girl and have a nice day! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteI am resting, Sarah, at least more than usual! Visited Heike and got the shopping with Andreas, now it's feet up time! xxx
DeleteStormy and starry skies sums it up here. Hope you're improving now? Hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, how are you feeling? I am slowly getting better, just always tired, but it will go away sooner or later! Hugs!
DeleteYes, exactly... stars, glitter and Christmas belong together.
ReplyDeleteAll good wishes for you from Viola
Thanks, you're right, they belong tgether and to Christmas, hugs!
DeleteJust loving this latest painting and the birds appear to be approving of her lipstick color! LOL Fun tag with all those cute elements too. Wishing you a great day and good health.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. I would love to wear lipstick like that, but it makes me look ghastly! (Even more ghastly than usual!) Hugs!
DeleteI have no idea what those birds are up to, but I just love that lady's purple eyes and ruby lips. Gorgeous face!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I wish my eyes were that colour, too! Hugs!
DeleteThose two birds look like roosters, Valerie, and they are gazing up at a beautiful female. No doubt they are wishing that she was a hen and dreaming of a randy romp! I have been told that guys do that sometimes. Girls with sparkly hair are guaranteed to fuel ambition! But the piece about history strikes me most in this post. It goes to the very heart of this notion of censorship in far too many jurisdictions. It’s words are so true, and that poster should be displayed in every public place, in every school, college and university in backwaters like Florida and Texas, and form part of the oath of office when politicians are sworn into office. History is not subject to the personal whims and beliefs of anyone. I am very happy that you are feeling a little better. The world needs the daily wisdom of more Valeries. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteThanks David, this was specially for you! I hope you don't go n a randy romp too often! And yes, the meme is very important and should be applied to all people wherever and whoever they are. I am sure there are politicians who have never heard of suc h a suggestion, they need to learn! Hugs! xxxxxxx
DeleteFabulous lady, and I think the two birds fancy her lipstick. It looks as if you have had as much rain as us, loads of flooded rivers around here in Herefordshire. Love the dog stuck to the fridge. Thank you also for the e-card, very thoughtful of you. Hugs Wendy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy! We have had much too much rain and it's not over yet!
DeleteNo idea what the two birds are thinking or doing. You obviously had fun creating them though. Love the dog stuck to the fridge door. Love the Norma Marshall quote and the two puppies.
ReplyDeleteHugs and best of Christmas wishes
Thanks Jim, much appreciated!
DeleteJust dropped by to wish you a wonderful pain free birthday and happy solstice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, hugs!
DeleteLove the face and Christmas tag-the cat in the bathroom is so typical=if it's on the floor I will lay on it unless it's my bed-I gave two brand new ones to charity shop after a few months and they didn't even have the decency to so much as sniff them !!!
ReplyDeleteCarol x
Thanks Carol! Cats and dogs have a favourite bed, always the bed where their people are sleeping....
DeleteShe looks elegant. The river here (the Mississippi) has been low, breaking some records and causing trouble with navigation.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better.
Last year the Rhine was also almost empty, now it's overfull. But we have no climate problems....
DeleteHi Valerie, I used to keep a cockatiel and he loved to sit on your shoulder and nibble your hair and I think your two have that in mind. I am definitely with Norma Mashall's view of history. Hope you have a very happy Christmas. Hugs, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteBirds can sometimes be very funny. I had 2 budgies, a green one and a blue one, and they liked sitting on my shoulders and trying to unpick my plaits! Have a wonderful Christmas with your family, hugs!
DeleteLovely art.
ReplyDeleteGreat words from Norma Marshall.
I think it's your birthday soon? Many Happy Wishes.
All the best Jan

Thanks Jan, much appreciated! Hugs!
DeleteYour lady is gorgeous, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting better.
May your Christmas be filled with love, laughter, and treasured moments shared with your dear ones. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Veronica, merry Christmas to you and yours!
DeleteWell, at first glance i thought they were her ear rings. Now I see they are quite separate from her and can only think they are adoring her. Whatever they are doing they are handsome birds, just as she is a handsome woman. Love her sparkly sky hair.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the funnies/thinkies - lots to think about there with the history lesson especially. I just hope most dogs do not eat magnets, but what a name he has!!
Hope that damned covid is leaving you by now.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks Neet. Yes, I think she's enjoying being adored by those birds! And yes, Randy is not a name I would choose for a doggie! Covid is better, just still very tired! Hugs!
DeleteI always enjoy seeing your talented artwork especially of the ladies! So lovely. Your inspirational quotes and cute little jokes are always uplifting . Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judee, glad you like my ladies! Hugs!
DeleteAnother awesome lady with an expressive face. Hope you're feeling better. Happy Holidays. Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sandra! Happy Christmas!
DeleteValerie, I love her lavender eyes, the red lipstick makes them pop. Glad to read in comments you are getting better bit by bit. Don't overdo! This is your new normal for time being. Every time I turn around, someone else I know is getting it. I'm glad I'm still home isolating, even if 4 years come March 1st is a very long time. Knock wood, neither Honey or I have gotten it...yet. XOX
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimeslee. I could never stop home for so long, I go out whatever the weather. I grew up in London, we had lots of bad weather with rain, fog, smog etc!! I am trying to be good and rest more! Stay healthy! Hugs!
DeleteAwesoe river pic. Luv your art today. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeletemuch🤍love
Thanks Gillena, hugs!
DeleteGreen hair and lavender/purple eyes must have been in the universal creative well as that was what I chose for my digital Santa’s. She is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I loved your digi work, too, it's a great colour combo! Hugs
DeleteWonderful tag!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, hugs and merry Christmas to you and yours!
DeleteLovely post-the art is beautiful. I think the chickens want to be her earrings!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra. I wonder what it would be like to have chickens chattering into your ears all day? My budgies used to love to sit on my shoulders, too! Big hugs!
Deletei so love this post. Thank you for sharing with FFO. I hope you are feeling well and wishing you a very nice holiday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole!- Let's both get well and stay well! Hugs!
DeleteBeautiful artwork, Valerie - I like both the lady and the tag. The piece about history rings so true, for each and every one. The way we behave it seems that we are not able to learn anything from history but twist and turn it however we like. Pityful and dangerous.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful and lovely Christmas, Valerie.
Thanks Carola. And their are politicians who love trying to chage history to their advantage! Hugs
DeleteBeautiful 'lady portrait" and so creative ~ lovely tag art too ~ and love the two doggies photo ~
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Thanks Carol, look after yourself, hugs!
Deletegorgeous face and adorable tag! feel well and happy holidays! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Michele!
DeleteYour artwork is exquisite Valerie!! You are so talented! I do love your little snow tag, so cute and plenty to catch the eye. I am hoping you are feeling a bit better by now. I had covid in June and it took me a month to get some descent energy level back. Don't rush things!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pinky. Slowly, slowly I am getting there....Hugs!
