Tag Tuesday - Autumn Leaves, Acorns and Conkers

I couldn't keep my eyes open a moment longer last night and went to bed admitting defeat - I missed the deadline for Tag Tuesday - in fact I couldn't believe it was Tuesday again already!  I started out thinking I wanted to depict a memory of taking my eldest, then my youngest to visit my Gran many years ago.  He was about two and we in a 'proud parent' moment asked him to tell his Gran a joke and we nearly fell off our chairs when he, instead of starting with 'knock, knock'....repeated parrot fashion a joke about a squirrel swimming on his back that has a punch line that is some what risqué!  No matter as when we quickly took a look at my Gran who was smiling indulgently and we knew as much as Damian had no idea why the joke was funny neither did my Gran....Phew!

Unfortunately I could not think how to make a backstroking squirrel so here is as far as I got last night......


Then my hand was yawning as well as my head so this morning I got back to it and.......late I know but I didn't want to miss a week completely!


This tag opts for a somewhat less risqué use of the word 'Nuts!'  Though I should confess the acorns at the bottom of the tag had to be hastily rearranged before the silicone glue dried when I took a step back to view my composition!!

If you are wondering why I am making a tag that features leaves and acorns and you love tag art then follow this link to see what the Tag Tuesday team have been up to.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. x
