Hi Everybody!
Just another short post, sorry, too much to do and not enough hours in the day to do it. BUT - I hope to be able to go home next Thursday, on April 4th, so that's something.
Today I have another hybrid piece for Chris' On all fours challenge at AJJ:
And for Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF I have some old family photos:
My mum
The family before I was born
My great grandmother
Erika
Emmy
Great Aunt Fanny
Grandma and Granddad
Great Grandmother with her girls, Fanny and Sadie
My Uncle Benny's wedding
My mum as a little girl

So, that's all for today! Have a great one
Take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Oh my! what wonderful photos and you are so cute. I love the All fours project too and that colour is amazing. Take care and have a great week. Hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Hugs.
DeleteGreat colourful journal page,love all your beautiful family photos and fingers crossed you are able to go home next week-take care.
ReplyDeleteCarol x
I hope so, too. I have to go once more to the surgical despt. next week, but that should be it!
DeleteHi Val, good evening! Hope you are feeling better! Glad you will soon be going home, I'm sure you have had enough of hospitals for the time being! All is well here, and I am having a restful week. Keep getting better and be careful on stairs! Hugs from us all, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteYes, you could be right! Hugs
DeleteYour family pictures are such treasures. Your mum holding baby you is just awwww. You're so cute. I had the same style shoes, too!
ReplyDeleteI think we all had shoes like that back then!
DeleteHi Valerie, I enjoyed your lovely family photos, Love your art too-hugs Good to ready you can go home soon-hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, not long now!
DeleteI love look at old photos.
ReplyDeleteSo do I, they are very special!
DeleteYou certainly do have many pictures of your family, Valerie. I have very few but it’s not a cause of concern. Miriam has many more, but never looks at them anyway. Maybe one day I’ll scan them and put them on line, although I still think we wouldn’t look at them. Some people are into this kind of nostalgia and others not, I suppose. A friend of mine, whose husband spends an inordinate amount of time taking, downloading, editing and filing pictures feels quite angry at times about picture-taking in general. She says she becomes a “photo widow” and most of the images, once filed away on the computer, are never looked at again. I know that’s true of us. Great to hear that you will be going home. I’m not sure whether that’s happening today, or next Thursday. Either way, it will no doubt be a joyful event. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteI love those photos, and still cherish them, even if my family didn't cherish me! I have them all in my computer, too. I go home next Thursday, I have one more visit to the surgeon next week who wants to examine my ribs and sternum again, but I am not going to let him do an more - enough is enough! Take care of ourself, hugs, Valerie xxxxxxx
DeleteEvery photos has a story....i like classic photos...it can bring my memory in past....have a nice day
ReplyDeleteThanks Mbul, photos are sometimes a link to our past! Have a good weekend, hugs!
DeleteI love your old photos of your family - what treasures they are! That's wonderful news you'll be going home soon and I'm sure you're looking forward to that! Have a fantastic weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I am looking forward to going home and doing what I want again. It's a wonderful clinic, but home is home! Hugs!
DeleteHi Val, sorry I haven't been around lately, we are preparing for Becky's wedding and it is so much work! I will be happy when its over!Hope you are doing well. Love the photos and their clothes, so elegant! Take care! Hugs, Martha.
ReplyDeleteGo on, you know you will be sad when it's over! All the best to you all! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteThat's a very interesting piece you painted. Very colorful and striking. You looked so blonde and cute as a baby. I liked looking at the clothing you English people wore back then. Those pics reflect the times, now gone.
ReplyDeleteThe clothes were much more elegant back then!
DeleteOh I'm glad to hear that you are going home next week, there's no place like it! I love your colourful piece, the background is amazing and then some! I always love to see your family photos. My mum has loads that belonged to my grandma and great grandma and we really need to sort them out while she can still tell me who everyone is. Take care and have a great day, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThe background is really colourful, colour makes me happy! Hugs!
DeleteI love your bright happy colourful art work Valeries and what wonderful family photos, such a happy family as in those days not a lot of people smiled for the camera, your Mum was beautiful and you were such a cutie..Happy Easter, stay safe..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy, much appreciated. I treasure those photos! Happy Easter to you and yours! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteLove your creation. Your family photos are beautiful. Anesha x
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha. I wish you a happy and blessed Easter! Hugs!
DeleteI really enjoyed seeing all your family photos. They are wonderful and such a treasure to have them. I have photos of my grandparents and parents ( I'm in my 70's) I wonder if my grandchildren will even keep them.
ReplyDeleteI found the photos in a bin after my mum threw them out. I have no one to pass them to.
DeleteOh Valerie, what an adorable page for my AJJ theme,, I love all of your photos- really special post today, hugs, Chrisx ps Glad you're being 'sprung' next week
ReplyDeleteThanks chris, Its been good here, but I'm looking forward to home!
DeleteLovely art so colourful.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of family photographs.
Good news about going home next week.
In the meantime, take care, lots of good wishes.
All the best Jan

Thanks a lot, Jan!
DeleteI'm glad you found time to create a page. I know you must be crossing all those medical T's and dotting I's so you can leave. But that must mean you are finally better! Amazing family photos and you are the cutest! Ah, memories of the little smock dresses with the Peter Pan collars and capped puffed sleeves. I think every girl my age had at least one. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimeslee, I have a lot of assessments to pass till I get home . I think the clothes we used to wear were much nicer than those worn these days. Or am I just getting old? Very old! Hugs Valerie

DeleteLovely page and precious family photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteSo alte Fotos haben einfach was Spezielles. Ich schaue gerne alte Familienfotos in SW oder noch in Braun/Weiß an. Da frage ich mich auch immer wieder, wie die aussehen würden,wenn sie heute mit Farbe gemacht würden.
ReplyDeleteAlles Liebe und eine gute Zeit
Violetta
Thanks Violetta . I Love the old photos
DeleteYour family photos are a treat to see. I have very few photos from my mother’s early childhood, though she and her friends took lots of photos when they were in their teens and twenties. I’m aware of how my photo habits changed with the invention of digital cameras — things are really different now, and I love the new era of photos all the time.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae. My family evidently didn't take many photos. I ran around with a Kodak Brownie box Camera, and I loved taking photos. But digital cameras are wonderful! Have a great weekend, hugs!
DeleteEverything about this post gives me joy -- the wonderful photos of your family are real gems. I love those. And your page! WOW! I love the splash of color, the freedom, the cats, everything! But the best news of all is your impending release from the clinic. That's good news, a real reawakening as spring sets in. Big smiles here!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just go mad and need some wild colours! Hugs!
DeleteVery creative and colorful creation ~ love the family photos ~ such history ~ hugs,
DeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, hugs!
DeleteWhat a delightful post, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteYour family photos are precious, each one telling its own story of love and nostalgia.
And your artwork is stunning!
Glad to hear that you'll be going home soon.
Wishing you a smooth recovery and many happy days ahead. Take care!
Thanks Veronica, hugs to you and yours!
Deletethose kind of photos are so special.... memories which are forever captured in photos
ReplyDeleteThanks, they are special indeed!
DeleteEin wunderschönes Posting mit deiner Familie und ich wünsche dir eine schöne Osterzeit!
ReplyDeleteLieben gruss Elke
Danke, liebe Elke. Dir Alles Liebe!
DeleteI'm so glad you will be able to go home again next Thursday - I keep my fingers crossed that it's really happening. Your old family photos are fabulous - I have to say that I treasure those old photos as well, especially my parents as children, but also their parent and grandparents. I hope you had a nice Easter - or still having it since you have Easter Monday as well, lucky you!
