Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well! There's been nothing exciting going on here, I am spending lots of time resting and reading, and I hope it helps!

Today I am sharing a hybrid tag made for Pinky's challenge at Tag Tuesday, which is hot colours. The tag was cut from a leaf photo, and the young lady is a very distant cousin called Emily. That's all I know about her, I just have the photo. The original pic is sepia, I just changed the colour to fit the theme. The flowers and butterflies were added digitally:

Then I decided to use the tag on a journal page for Alison's 'come fly with me' challenge at AJJ . The background was painted, the extra birds and butterflies  and the sweet fairy were all added digitally:

Some thinkies and funnies:

I would LOVE one of these - wonderful vibes from the 70s:

Some photos from Hariksee, a nice place with lots of waterways, water fowl, and shady places to sit and relax. And of course, cafés and restaurants where good food is served are not far away!

Have a great week, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for everything all together!

 Hi Everybody!

Hope you had a good weekend. I spent most of Sunday in bed sleeping, I was really out of it and just slept on and on. Now it's 5.20 pm and I am having breakfast while typing my post.... First up I have a journal page, 12x12" for our lovely Alison's things that fly challenge at AJJ. Here I used 2 large (8") tags made previously and sewed them onto a piece of scrapbook paper which I stamped with various dragonflies in Stazon ink. Then I added the transparent butterfly and the  white dragonfly. My home-help mended my sewing-machine, and threaded it for me, so now I can sew till the next catastrophe happens....The quote on the righthand tag is from Leonardo da Vinci:

And for Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd (on the 3rd) I have some fitting journal pages:

These pictures were all made for a challenge  of 'Things with Wings' at AJJ way back in May 2014, and they fit well to Alison's challenge:

The quote in this one is from Shakespeare's Hamlet, and was spoken by Hamlet's Uncle/Stepfather, who had a very guilty conscience:

This evening we will start celebrating T Day, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here. My photos for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday are also from some years back:

And these were taken last week at our fave Café:

Happy 4th of July:

And 2 animal funnies:

Have a great week, Happy T Day, Happy July 4th -

Happy Everything!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
