Hi Everybody!
This is the first post I'm typing on my new laptop. I've been busy for a few days trying to get everything set up, and slowly I'm getting there. I still need to install some of my favourite posts, slowly, slowly, slowly.... I hope I will have it all finished before I need another one!
Today I have a piece for my geometric shapes challenge challenge at AJJ, made with a stencil, acrylic paints and acrylic pens:
And now let's get started with some fun to put us in a good mood for the new week:
And some more from David Zinn:
For all who love books:
This is my fave beret. I was in a hurry and threw it onto the table where it landed on the glass bowl for my odds and ends, and realised I had created a photo of myself:
Coffee helps start the new week well, too:
Good morning, I am the coffee fairy and wish you a great day:
I will be linking to Elizabeth's TsfT drink party which starts on Monday evening:
Scenes from along the Rhine:
And some photos from the old cemetery in Düsseldorf (not the coffee!
I love how the tree/vine forms the face. Have fun with the new laptop!
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ, when I manage to get it all finished, I will have fun!

ReplyDeleteHi Val, what a fun post again, great art and lots of happiness! i hope you are managing to keep warm, it's freezing here. I am sitting here in my fleece pullover and trousers. Have a great week, take care, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. It's freezing here, too, worse than in winter! Have a great week, hugs!
DeleteA new computer is very very exciting. Have fun getting it set up. I'm loving your latest journal page. That tree and the face are perfect for Earth Day. That is a very cool bowl too, and you are right with the beret making it a piece of art. I love your red beret also. I actually thought it was a piece of art and not your beret thrown on it. And you are so right about the cure for boredom. It's a good thing there is no cure for books. :) Have fun playing, have a great T day and start to the new week. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, glad you like it. I love wearing berets and have quite a few in differen colours, but this is my fave! What would we do without books`? Books have always been a big part of my life! Hugs!
DeleteI love that there is no cure for books. Very cool on the new laptop and settings things up. I also love all the fun and artwork in your posts. Happy New Week. Huggs, lvy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy, I'm still working on the laptop, but sooner or later i will get there!

Thanks Carol. I's very hard geting used to a new computer, and the older I get the harder it gets! Have a great week!
DeleteYour geometric shapes make me think of “spring bliss” :-)) Spring is so beautiful - isn’t it? And one of the things I love most is this wonderful bright green...
ReplyDeleteThe first butterflies were already there when it was so warm recently.
The warmth comes back, pretty quickly actually.
David Zinn - delicious.
Thanks.
Your beret is great... and coffee,
yes, always helps... almost always. Above all, humor helps :-)
A warm greeting to you on the Rhine and Congratulations on the new laptop.
Thanks so much Viola. I always look forward to the 'new-born' green of spring, it goes so quickly! Yes, where would we be without humour? Enjoy your week!
DeleteWell done on getting to grips with your new laptop.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post with so much to see and enjoy.
Lovely art and photographs, and I never tire of seeing David Zinn work, it is amazing.
Enjoy what is left of the weekend and have a good week ahead.
All the best Jan

Thanks Jan, David Zinn's art is indeed very appealing!
DeleteSo pretty Valerie and very very fresh looking just what we need this spring, love that dotting formation, what a super stencil. I hope you soon get everything just how you want it on your new laptop and it works super smooth.
ReplyDeleteHugs for the new week ahead Tracey xx
Thanks Tracy, I ove my new sencil, and I always love dotting, such fun! Okay, I'm probably really dotty! Have a great week, hugs!
DeleteCongrats on the new laptop Valerie!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I'm still learning its mysteries! Hugs!
DeleteLove your stenciled circle page. Congrats on your new laptop, I know you've needed it for way too long. And that beret face, too funny. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimeslee, the old one is worn out and cranky like me! But I had to save for a long ime to buy it! Enjoy your week, hugs!
DeleteSehr schön, das geometrische Bild mit den Schmetterlingen, bei dem ich das Frauengesicht erst auf den 2. Blick wahrgenommen habe, liebe Valerie! Witzig, dein Zufallstreffer mit dem Barett :-D Auch deine Ausflugsfotos und Funnies/Thinkies habe ich wieder sehr genossen.
ReplyDeleteAlles Liebe - und good luck mit dem neuen Laptop, Traude

ReplyDeleteI am in Ottawa visiting my daughter, Valerie, so not much time today. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, have fun! Hugs, Valerie xxx xxx
DeleteAnd all the best to your daughter, and of course, Miriam!
Congrats on the new laptop. I bought one several years ago and hated it and gave it away. Beautiful creations, photos and fun things to see and read today. May you have a great week ahead with sunny days.
ReplyDeleteI have been using laptops for the last 30 years or more, my last one was suffering from old age, like me! Hugs, have a great week.
DeleteThe laptop seems neat and tidy. Have fun with it. Love that face profile. Unique.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is indeed! Hugs!
DeleteGood to hear that your new laptop is functioning! Your pictures are
ReplyDeletea) Beautiful

Sometimes beautiful, sometimes amusing, sometimes both!

You certainly are having fun with the Geometric challenge. David's art work is justamazing. Loving the hat stand too Lol! Hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteI have several kits from the long distant past, I also ask myself 'When'?? So many ideas, so much to do, so litte time! Have fun, the pieces you have made already are FANTASTIC!!!!!
DeleteWonderful post to Start the week vj!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok, hugs!
DeleteFabulous art work Valerie love the butterflies and all those little mice and cute drawings, wish I could draw, my stickmen even go crooked with uneven legs and things..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Everything you make is gorgeous! Hugs!
DeleteIt took me a minute to see the face in your latest AJJ entry. It is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI really love the coffee entries. They are extra special. I love the coffee in the floral h8eart and the good morning coffee. Thanks for sharing these with us for T this Tuesday.
Love the shots from the Rhine and your favorite beret on the face (lips). Hope you get your new laptop running smoothly soon.
Thanks Elizabeth, take care!
DeleteBeautiful artwork and loving all your thinkies and funnies too 😊. I'm glad you are enjoying your new laptop too. Take care and wishing you a very Happy T Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, enjoy your week!
DeleteYour post looks amazing. I like the new banner. The art is fabulous. Glad you got a new laptop. I like, "If you were a vegetable" Ha ha . Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteYour page is so beautiful, Valerie! and so are the photos from along the Rine and from the Friedhof. When I was still living in Germany, I often went to the Friedhof and just sat there, reading or journaling (or both) and listening to the birds. We don't have that kind of inviting cemeteries here - there is the old rural cemetery near my home which is very beautiful, but there are almost no benches and the two they have are made of stone and freaking cold on the butt. Not very inviting. Enjoy your coffee - that's always a good start to a new day. Hugs - Carola
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new computer! It always takes time to get used to a new one and getting everything transferred. I hope you have a techie person on standby.
ReplyDeleteOh I love those little people. And your Rhine photos are beautiful.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
A new laptop is exciting and super scary! Enjoy and good luck! And I really like your art piece today.
ReplyDeleteYes, especially the scary bit!
DeleteYour new laptop seems to be working great, because this is a lovely post. That is a great geometrics art journal page, too. Fun coffee references. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon, have a great week! Hugs!
DeleteMusst say how much `i loved the little mouse with the oranges and, of course, the David Zine pictures. Your own eentryj for AJJ is lovely and I must admit I did not, at first glance, spot the face. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neeet xx
Thanks, Neet. I think it depends on how you view the picture, from right, or left or head on. I love pictures like that! Hugs!
DeleteHave you changed your back ground? Mine disappeared a few weeks ago and so far I've had not luck in adding a new one. Love the pictures. specialy the chalk ones, makes me want to go and have a go! The top one...lady butterflies I'll call her, is really clever! Have a great week! Happy WOYWW!?#18
