Hi Everybody!
Just a short post from me to show my piece for the new challenge at AJJ, which is
-Anything Goes-
hosted by Aimeslee.
I made this face before I got so ill, and although I am feeling better, I cannot do too much. This is the second time this year where I have been hospitalized for the same problem, and in three weeks I have to go in again to have a stent removed. For this reason I will be leaving the admins at AJJ. I'm sorry to do this, but there is no other way. And i hope Erika will soon find a replacement so she doesn't has to do so much. I will try to join in challenges here and there, but more is not possible. And now for my new face:
Some time back I promised to make a friendly face for David, as he doesn't like some of the strange things I make! And she has silver hair, David, as you are not the youngest any more!
Here's wishing you all well, and I will try to make a post once a week without having a set theme.
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
I hope this publishes. That is a beautiful face and a wonderful sentiment, Valerie. Personally, I think the girl has a tear coming from her eye, as do I this morning. It was certainly a gut punch. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us using Aimeslee's theme at AJJ, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! Sorry to spring this on you, but I have reached a point where I just need to rest! Hugs!
DeleteA beautiful face as we move into the most beautiful season of the year.
ReplyDeleteFocus on yourself and your healing. Others must bear the load for a while then you can return again to doing what you obviously love so much. Healing Hugs, Deb
Thanks Deb, Autumn is always my fave season! I hope you are feeling as well as possible! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteI hope you are feeling better dear Valerie! Your face is so beautiful, I love your design with that pretty hair and the addition of the pearl and sparkle under her eye is amazingly beautiful - love it 😊. Happy September! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, sorry I had to desert you in the middle of the last challenge! Hugs!
DeleteGood morning, Valerie: It’s wonderful to see you back again, but it seems that there are still hard days ahead. Thanks for taking the time to create this ravishing young thing for me. I shall carry her image in my head all day. She is very appealing indeed. Take good care of yourself and stay in touch. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteHi David, I missed you and your funny comments. Thanks for the lovely card which I fished out of my mailbox this morning. Glad you like your new lady, made especially for you! Perhaps I should have painted myself when I turned yellow, it was.,.......WTF.......But interesting! Hugs xxxxxxxxcxcc
Delete...Valerie, I've missed seeing you, I hope that all is well with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, I really was quite ill and then in hospital for a week, was operated on and still dont feel well. Hope you and your Sweetie are fit and well!
DeleteIt's a beautiful face but I'm so sorry you've not been feeling well for so long. Sending biggest recovery hugs your way and sincere get well wishes.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carol, I need to learn to go to the doctor when I start feeling bad, and not wait weeks! Hope you are well, hugs!
DeleteGood morning, your faces are always so lovely. Sending love and healing prayers Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kathy. I hope you and Larry are doing well, hugs, Valerie
DeleteBeautiful face painting. Hope you feel better soon. Anesha x
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha, have a great week! Hugs!
DeleteLiebe Valerie, das tut mir Leid dass schon wieder im Krankenhaus warst und ich wünsche dir gute Besserung.
ReplyDeleteJa, jeder muss Abstriche machen wenn es für einen besser geht, du kannst ja posten so wie du kannst, das mache ich auch so.
Tolles Gesicht ist es geworden.
Schöne Woche wünsche ich dir!
Liebe Umarmung Elke
Thanks so much Elke. Stimmt, die Gesundheit geht vor! Hugs!
DeleteShe is indeed a very very lovely lady Valerie, and that is a fitting quote to end your admin at AJJ. I know shall miss you and your art, but hopefully you'll still be around and even more important, you'll feel better soon. It hasn't been an easy year, has it? Take care my friend. I'll drop you an email soon. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, this year has been very hard. I will still be making art, just not blogging so much, I need to really make time for feet up and snoozing and reading! Hugs!
DeleteGood luck with a speedy recovery. I hope you are doing everything you need to do, and avoiding every activity you need to avoid, in order to get better.
ReplyDeletegood wishes… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I am doing my best! And I am cutting down on a lot of activities and hope hat helps, too! Hugs!
DeleteLove the absolutely beautiful face!!! You were missed-sorry to hear you have been so ill please take care and rest -you will feel better creating for you and when you feel well enough, hope you start to feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteCarol x
Thanks Carol. I am just doing a little just now, but will cut down with blogging, it's just too much. once, perhaps twice a week when I'm feeling better, it's enough. I hope you are doing well, sending hugs!
DeleteOh, take care of yourself. You come first. Do what makes you happy, that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a beautiful face! Just love it. Send it to David so he can frame it and enjoy. Ask Andreas to take it to the post office.
I should not order you around, so forgive me.
Thanks. Perhaps I will send it, but first I need to get well!
DeleteI am so sorry to hear you have been ill and in hospital. I had no idea, thinking you might be taking a bit of a blog break for fun. Definitely this was NOT for fun. Yes, time to take it easy and get well. I hope this is just a bit of a blip in the action and you will recover fully and soon. Your face is quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, I didn't have time to tell anyone before I went. My doc tor phoned and told me I had to go into hospital and that an ambulance arrived and took me away. I was in my pyjamas already, so I didn't even need to get changed when I got there! Hugs, hope you are well! Hugs!
DeleteLovely face. She's a pearl of great price. Sending wishes for a speedy recovery. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ!
DeleteFeel better.

ReplyDeleteI've been having a tough time but hopefully all resolved now and I can get on with some art...after a really BIG tidy in my art room! Take care, hugs, Chrisx
Thanks Chris, nice to hear from you. Getting old is not always easy, is it! Hope you can get back to art soon, bu tidying your craft room, oh dear, soooo hard! Stay as well as possible, hugs, Valerie

Thanks Jan, have a great week!
DeleteDearest Valerie, such bittersweet news but it's been a year of change for many of us, eh? I'm happy you are back home and concentrating on getting rested and healed. Thank you for managing to get this post and lovely face art up. Please take it easy, we will be here as long as it takes! Hugs, XOX
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Aimeslee, yes, a lot has changed in this year! We are survivors! You take it easy, too! Hugs!
DeleteI am so sorry you are relinquishing your moderatorship at AJJ but can understand it. You have not had the best of health recently and it is a wide decision but i will miss you, you have been so kind with your comments to me. Plus, as you know, I am a real fan of your portraits and this one certainly is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colouring for her complexion and her hair has those lovely flowers winding through which I always think of a a Valerie trademark. Love the green eye and the little touch with the pearl just beneath.
Take care Valerie
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks, Neet. I appreciate that you will miss me, but I am not disappearing completely. I want to try to post a couple pf times a week, but without stress and the thought that I am under pressure. I want to do what I want to, and I hope I will still see you around as much as possible, Hugs!
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with health challenges again. Your new piece is wonderful – I love the silver hair! Take all the time you need to rest and recover. Wishing you a smooth recovery, and looking forward to your posts whenever you feel up to it.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, Valerie
Thanks Veronica. I had to try dilver hair, it was fun. LIFE IS A BIT HARD AT THE MOMENT, but it can only get better.
