Midweek post!

Hi Everybody!

For Pinky's Something new tag challenge at Tag Tuesday I have some fun tags.

I recently told someone I hadn't used my big shot in years, and so I got it out again for one more play. I used an ancient owl die, from Sizzix, and had a happy evening cutting and decorating little owls, which I made into tags, and then grouped together to make some little tag albums! I didn't get to bed till 4 a.m., but who cares!? 












So now I have some nice thank you presents for the nice neighbours who so often help me!

And a few funnies to keep us all happy!






Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for Tuesday on Monday!

Hi Everybody!

I have had a lazy weekend here. I went into the kitchen to clear my art table and then do some painting. Then I found an Ellis Peters book on a pile of stuff and started to read....End of Saturday! On Sunday I stayed  in bed to finish the book, and it was sort of afternoon before I got up, had a shower, and sat down to watch TV and learn a lot about the Danish Royal family. It was very interesting and as you may guess, I didn't get anything done again. Yes, it was a lazy weekend.

This evening we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday drink party, where we share our drinks. And here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here. I am sure you can all guess what my drink is:









And I wanted to say a big thank-you to all of the lovely people who sent cards for Christmas and my birthday, here are some of them, I will try to get the others done for next week:


From top to bottom, left to right:
Our lovely Erika, Carol and Sandy;
Two beauties from Elle, and an angel card from Silke;
David, Jim, Tracy Hotchpotch  and Barbara;
Carola and Nancy.
The cards are all wonderful, and I want to thank you all for thinking of me!




And as some of you like the stamps, here they are - from Erika, and  from Elle. I especially love the cat and the Queen, and I've never seen a Happy Holidays cancellation before! Once again, many thanks, and I sincerely hope that Covid doesn't get me again!


This is for Erika's 'it's on the calendar' challenge at AJJ. I made the tempates for those strange people many moons ago, and have used them a couple of times, so here they are making another appearance and trying to be nice to each other. Sorry the writing is bad, it is very difficult to write these days because of the shakes!





And some thinkies / funnies:
















Happy T Day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, enjoy!

Today I am sharing another of my pastel portraits. Sorry for the poor photos, I've been having problems with my smartphone, I need a new one!




The text written along the flowers is ' Bloom, grow and be proud of yourself.'
This was the 2nd one I made, and is relative similar to the first one. The more  I make the more they change!

Some thinkies / funnies!














Sorry if there are some repeats here, as I said, my phone is rather crazy today. Hope I soon have a new one!

Have a great weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
