Friday post

Hi Everybody!
It's cold here and getting colder, I need a hot-water bottle to warm by bed and my feet each night, and if it gets even colder then I will need 2 hot-water bottles. Or perhaps 3....

Today I have another snowy piece for Jo's  snowy winter challenge at AJJ. This is a hybrid piece put together using 2 photos and some digital elements:

And for Nicole's Friday Face Off (FFO) I am showing some of the faces made during the Lifebook sessions and  free lessons from other artists:

And I am also linking to Gillena's Friday art fun.

And some thinkies / funnies:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Tag Tuesday - trees, trees, trees

Hi Everybody!

Yesterday we had our first snow of the season, but at the weekend it looks like there's a lot more snows and very cold wind on its way to us. Today I have a tag for Pinky's trees challenge at Tag Tuesday. I matted different papers to make the background, the tree and the stars are die cuts, the beads are self adhesive half beads:

The snow yesterday afternoon/evening:

And some thinkies / funnies:

I thought of Erika's dogs here, as they are not allowed on the beach during the season:

Have a great day, take care,

T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!
Winter seems to have arrived here, and it's cold and frosty. Well, I can at least wear my warm jackets and boots again, the time for sneakers and shorts has gone. And there's not much small talk as I haven't done anything worth mentioning! This evening we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday Link Party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies who visit here. Today I have combined Jo's snowy winter theme at AJJ with a cup of coffee for T Day:

And some thinkies/funnies:

'Do you now understand why we dogs don't want to be bathed?'

And last but not least, a photo of my friend Heike out for a walk with me. She's on the right!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post.

Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy!

Yesterday was Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd, where we show posts from previous times. Yesterday - Thursday - I was busy catching up on Tuesday, so today - Saturday -I am showing my 2nd of the 2nd on the 3rd, but better late than never!

I am sharing the pictures from some of the posts published in 2016 for a challenge by AJJ where light was the theme. We all need light in these dark and wintry days:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

I must  confess that I forgot to do my post for TioT on Tuesday, so I'm hanging my head in shame. Our theme is winter wonderland. Anyway, here it is:

It's also ideal for Jo's snowy winter challenge at AJJ.

And as there are lots of faces, I am also linking to Nicole's FFO

And the tag is, of course, meant for Tag Tuesday where Pinky is hosting with the theme of trees. And yes, I'm late here, too. This has not been as easy week!

And I am also linking to Gillena's Friday Art Fun.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

And some thinkies / funnies:

Have a great day, take care,
