Winter Winter Go Away

Is anyone else feeling like this? I'm so ready for spring and I see spring fever has hit big time all around blogland. The last few days I have felt blah - doing the same ol routine of work, laundry, cleaning, cooking - ahhh I want to scream! I can't wait for the sunshine and longer days. My energy and motivation seem to have a significant correlation with the sun and temperature levels. Do you feel like there are suddenly more hours in the day when the sun is out longer? I know there are 24 hours in a day no matter how you slice it but I feel like I can get so much more accomplished when I get home from work and still have daylight - I can cook, craft, run errands, see a movie, visit the local ice cream parlor - and on and on. During winter, I get home from work and want to jump on the couch and sleep - hmm, maybe I should consider hibernating next year!

Happy Weekend

Greetings dear friends. It is the weekend. Yay! Friday is my favorite day of the week because the entire weekend still stretches in front of you. Fridays are always a bit more laid back at work too. Less stress = a good day. I know we can all agree on that! This is a necklace I made for a special person who shall remain nameless as she may see this before I give it to her.

Take the Quiz

Here is a fun quiz my sister Shelley found. She got Will Smith. Tell us who you get in comments. Should be interesting! Shelley just got a new computer and has graduated from dial-up to DSL - way to go Shelley! Now she can comment and visit all of you too. I'm trying to get her to start a blog. She is a big runner and I told her she can blog about that. Help me convince her that blogging is one of the best things ever!

Happy weekend,

This and That

No doubt you know the magical Vanessa Valencia of A Fanciful Twist but in case you don't I highly encourage you to head straight over to her blog. Really - stop everything and head over! She is such a delight and her posts are full of imagination and vibrancy. She is always super sweet with the freebies as well. She had free Valentine's tags available for download and now has a St. Patrick's Day version. She also created the template and tutorial for these fun shamrock brooches. I whipped up a bunch for myself and some family and friends. I was working a little faster then Vanessa recommended and ended up gluing down some of the leaves but if you go to her blog, you'll see the fantastic results if you are in less of a rush! They have been very well received here.

Look at this cutie by Karla Nathan! A perfect touch of spring now residing in my dining room.

And check out the fun additions she included in the package! Some glare on the Easter egg card but it is adorable and I was drooling over this fabulous Easter cart vignette!

These adorable stickers are from Max and Bella. They are for my mother-in-law, the knitting queen!

And isn't this precious?! It is a darling pillowcase dress that I purchased from Sugar Sandwich (how great is that name?). This is Katrina's photo. I'm having her send this to a friend of mine that just had a baby girl.

Ta ta for now girls!
