This and That for Thursday and Friday

Hi Everybody!

Just another short post, sorry, too much to do and not enough hours in the day to do it. BUT - I hope to be able to go home next Thursday, on April 4th, so that's something.

Today I have another hybrid piece for Chris' On all fours challenge at AJJ:



And for Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF I have some old family photos:


My mum


The family before I was born


My great grandmother


Erika


Emmy


Great Aunt Fanny


Grandma and Granddad


Great Grandmother with her girls, Fanny and Sadie


My Uncle Benny's wedding



My mum as a little girl


My mum holding me

So, that's all for today!  Have a great one
Take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!

Birds, butterflies, bunnies and more

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a great weekend and are now ready for the new week ahead. I'm not! Today I have hybrid pieces for 2 challenges . The first is for Chris' challenge at AJJ - 0n all fours. I have lots of little, four-footed creatures, some of which are from Beatrice Potter:



And for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday I have a tag using a gothic doorway:



I took more flowers in the garden, but can't find them!



And some funnies / thinkies:


From David Zinn:


A friend asked me to paint her horse. OMG, not the sort of face I am good at. I hope the horse won't shout at me if I ever get to see it! This is the first try, I will keep going till it looks better!





And this was a lesson from Ida Anderson:







Have a great start in the new week!
Take care, and thanks a lot  for coming by!
