CTMH will put a Spring in your step.....

I mean...spring on your card......and brighten anyone's day.  Watch the video below and find out how Close to my Heart puts a spin on Spring!  This is a close up image of the card from the video using My Peeps stamp set and it coordinates beautifully with the Lucy paper pack.

You will find this card on page 72 of the Close to my Heart Spring Idea Book.  How fun is this!  My little ones were so excited about making these cards.  It's starting to warm up around here.....Welcome Spring!!!

Sunshine in Chicago!

It was so nice waking up to Blue Sky this morning, and there was another surprise waiting for me in Dusty's Garden today.   I received a beautiful spring basket a couple of years ago that had blooming bulbs of different kinds.  One of them was miniature daffodils.  I loved them...they were Oh so cute,  and I had never seen a daffodil that small.   I wondered if they would come up again if I planted them outside in the garden.   Well, I am happy to say that the dark skies and rain this week helped these adorable little flowers bloom.   I placed a regular size daffodil next to them in the picture so that you could see the size difference.  I hope you enjoy.  Welcome Spring!

Daffodils!

They are almost ready.........can hardly wait!

Who Hooo....They're here!!!!!

I took these pictures just a few minutes ago....

                 Just seeing them makes my heart sing:)    They are leaning over a bit because of the rain and can you believe it just started snowing?  No worries, a very good friend alway's says...when you have snow on your daffodils, it's a sign winter is really over.  Yippee!!!!    

First Day of Spring!

Imagine the excitement at our house.    These are little sprouts from seeds we planted just last week after coming home from a birthday party.  Logan received a little packet of seeds in her goody bag.   They are in our kitchen window and we anxiously check their progress every morning before school.  Welcome Spring!

Daffodils!

Here they come!!!!   Who Hooooo!!!  Come on Spring!

Mom, this is for you.  Thank you for sharing your love of nature and the joy and wonder that would unfold as you walked around the yard in the morning with your coffee.....showing me the progress each day..the persistence and beauty in our own backyard.   I am so grateful.   We love you.
