This and that and a laughing cat

Hi everybody!

It's another grey, wet and cold Monday, but at least it's good for the vegetation, everything looks wonderful!

Today I have a fun piece. The background is a paper bag printed with panties I got in a bookshop many moons ago, and I couldn't throw it away! It's an advert for a book about dieting. I added the silhouette and snarky quote from Holliewood. The cat, the beaded lines and the red sentiment were added digitally. I am linking to Elle's language challenge at AJJ, and to  the Sisterhood of snarky stampers, whose challenge is  A is for Animal. I saw the lovely piece made by my teamie Helen, which inspired me to join in:

The photos were taken on this day three years ago at Harik See, a beautiful area with lakes and rivers:

The coots build their nests in the middle of the lakes:

There are holiday chalets here, too:

Hope you enjoyed the photos!
Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by! 

T sTands for a new challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a good weekend. I stayed home most of the time, enjoyed reading books and listening to music and generally being lazy.

This evening Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party will begin, and I have a coffee themed journal page meant for this and for Elle's language challenge at AJJ, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here.

This is perhaps my dream, that one day soon we can safely go out for a coffee or tea and meet up with friends. My journal page is showing that coffee can be a universal language. The Covid situation is improving slowly here, but I will not go anywhere for a drink or meal until I have had my 2nd vaccination and feel safe.

This evening we are also beginning a new challenge at Tag Tuesday. Many thanks to Sandie, who hosted the last challenge, and to all who joined in. This week's challenge is being hosted by the lovely and very talented Pinky, and her theme is fruit or vegetables. Tags of all formats are welcome, and the challenge will go live at 9 pm this evening. My tag shows a Victorian greengrocer bringing his veggies into town:

These pics were taken 2 weeks back, I put them into the wrong folder and couldn't find them!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, enjoy! I still get excited when it comes to the weekend, although as a retiree  I don't have to work any more. The weather has warmed up a bit, my flowers are growing well, and it's good to get out without freezing. On Friday I went to Aldi with my neighbour to do the  shopping, and we had to wait - well distanced - in a queue till we got in. But inside was fine, we had plenty of space as not so many people are allowed at any one time. 

Today I have one of my Van Gogh knockoffs, made using acrylics and pastel chalks. The gold metallic stars are stickers. I am linking to Elle's language challenge at AJJ:

And I have a last tag for Sandy's sport challenge at Tag Tuesday:

Some spring greetings:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
