Hi Everybody!
Hope you are all having a good week and keeping well. Here it's been alternately very hot and very wet, so I'm wondering what tomorrow will bring! I have once again being doing a lot of reading andx painting. Last night I listened to an audio book, and fell asleep. I woke up and couldn't understand why people were talking in my bedroom, but eventually I got the message and switched it off! Now I will have to try to find the part where I fell asleep so that I don't miss anything!
The new challenge at Tag Tuesday is being hosted by dear Sandie, who has chosen the theme of vintage:
Today I am sharing some repeats from past years for Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF, and the tag also has a lovely face:

Hope you enjoy the heads and faces!
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
Lovely art Valerie! I never thought about finding your place in an audio book.. of course just as in a video! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'm glad I got it in the end!
DeleteI so enjoy seeing your art Valerie, thank you for sharing with us. years ago when I first got my kindle, and then also books to listen to-I always fell asleep on those-so gave up on that haha. Have a good rest of your week hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one! Hugs!
DeleteIf you were here, you would have heard long "Ooooooo" when I saw the vintage tag. Gorgeous vintage tag. Anything vintage will get my attention. All of the other creations are great as well. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Thanks, I love vintage, too! Hugs!
DeleteHi Val, good morning!! I hope you slept well! I love all of the heads and faces today, really fabulous! We used to say 'fab' when we were teens.,long,long ago! I don't think anyone says it these days we are officially ancient! Have a great dag, hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, have a lovely day, hugs!
Deletei am in love with your arts!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kathy!
DeleteMiriam listens to audio books all the time. She’s still trying to make pencil notes in the margins! As far as I know she has never fallen asleep reading one and had to find her place. Do you think that the author would be mortified to think that her gripping prose had lulled you off to la-la land? I have never awoken to the sounds of voices in the bedroom, but I have had dreams so vivid that for a moment, on first waking, I think the people of the dream are real and present. It takes but a moment for that illusion to evaporate, however, and it’s the same old head still on the pillow and no one else around. Such is the nature of predictability. Such is the nature of joy. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteActually it's a very gripping story about the intrigues at the court of Henry VIII, but I was very tired.....always these excuses! But it really was strange to hear those voices in the night! I mostly listen to the audio books when I paint. Or I listen to classical music! Both are nice. I like the idea of pencil notes in the margins! Have a lovely day with good food, nice walks and lovely birds! Hugs, Valerie xxxxxxxxxx
DeleteI have the attention span of a gnat for audio books so don't bother with them any more. I'd be listening for a good hour but only taken in the first few minutes at the most. How unnerving to wake up hearing "people" talking in your bedroom! hugs, deb
ReplyDeleteYes, you do need to concentrate when listening to books, and usually I manage well, but this time I just fell asleep! Hugs!
DeleteFabulous Vintage tag and image, love the beautiful butterfly and image. Great reposted art too, my daughter was going to buy me a kindle but I prefer to read an actual book. Enjoy whatever weather you get today-very windy but mild here.

Thanks Carol! I love my Kindle as I can enlarge the print, and it is backlit. I don't see well as I have had many eye operations. Today here the weather is warm and cold, sunny and cloudy and rather unsettled! Hugs!
DeleteI hate when I fall asleep and can't figure out where I was in my audio book. Good luck finding your spot. And nice tag for Sandie's challenge too. I'm enjoying a couple of beautiful days outside and then the rain is coming, so tomorrow is an art day for me. And it's great seeing the oldies, some of which I don't remember. Have a super end of your week. And enjoy your painting and books too. :) hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHi Erika, I found the right place in the end, but it took quite some time! Here the weather is a mix of opposites, but at least it didn't rain! Enjoy your art day tomorrow, have fun! Hugs!
DeleteI have never listened to an audio book. Wonder what it's like. Interesting faces. I especially like your vintage tag. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's like somebody reading a story to you!.Glad you like the vintage tag. Hugs!
DeleteI remember when I got books on tape (yes, I'm that old). I don't have a kindle, but I leave the TV on all the time so the boys have company and I have background noise.
ReplyDeleteYour tag is wonderful. I have very little vintage any art, but I sure love what you made. It is wonderful. And of course, I NEVER tire seeing your faces!
I like to hear something in the background, too. Makes me feel good! Enjoy your tapes. I had some tapes, too, but it was in the last millenium....hugs!
DeleteBetween the hats and the birds I'm loving these!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteU nas też raz świeci słońce a raz pada deszcz. Piękne prace bardzo mi się podobają. Dobrego weekendu życzę:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lucyna! Happy weekend to you, too!
DeleteYour beautiful art heads and faces are a feast for the eyes Valerie!
ReplyDeleteI love an audio book, as it means I can multitask. I swore I would never read anything but a physical book, but then I joined an online library, and the rest is history! Lol!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hugs,
Alison xx
Thanks Alison! I prefer reading books, but as you say, audio books let us multi task, and that's good! And as my eyesight is getting worse, it is better to hear! Hugs!
DeleteI love listening to books as it is less stress on my eyes and I can listen while doing chores and driving. I listen Kindle books on the Alexa app on my phone. And epubs on another app I have on my phone.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Audio books have a lot of advantages. Multi tasking and less eye strain is very positive! Hugs!
DeleteBeautiful vintage style tag Valerie, love the image colours and flowers, so pretty..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy! Hugs!
DeleteTalking in your bedroom. That's funny.
ReplyDeleteHa! It was not sure funny at the time!
DeleteI think we've all done that -- if not with an audio book, with something on the radio! It's jarring when you wake! I especially love your profiles.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeaanie, have a great weekend!
DeleteYour selection of art works from past and present times is very enjoyable. “Vintage” can mean a lot of things to different people and I think you captured several of the themes.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae - As a child I always associated vintage with the generation of my great aunts, grandma etc. Now I'm older that any of them ever were! Hugs!
DeleteI always enjoy looking at vintage- I find it so relaxing. Anyway, I got a good chuckle that your fell asleep to an audio book and wondered why people were talking in your room when you woke up!! as always good funnies and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I laughed about is afterwards, too, but at the time it was scary!
DeleteFirst vintage tag is very elegant and wonderful art works follow ~ all very creative, Valerie ~ you are so prolific ~ hugs,
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,
