spring ist sprungen.

Almost. it's not spring to me until the magnolia blooms.
But this little guy was making a lot of noise. That's how I noticed him.

The garlic is sprouting.

Chives. Funny story.. I was putting the kids into the van the other morning and commented that it smelled like onions in there. My son chuckled and said that he had tasted some of the chives. He liked them. now I can smell chives on his breath when he goes outside or comes in to the house. cute.

Last year, DH and the kids went to the garden store and brought back some poppy plants for this planter. They were beautiful and finished their growing. but lo and behold, they bloomed again. Several times for the whole summer. I hope that they are perennials and not annuals. We'll see in a few weeks.


This past weekend was a blur of socializing and lots of desserts. O gym how I will greet thee tomorrow!
And this coming week, holy week is a busy time for me. Singing for 5 services and 1 rehearsal. Let's hope the chocolate I ate this weekend is a buffer for the germies floating around. I must stay well until easter monday.

have a good one.

Tulip thanks

Yeah!! I got to my room today. After 2 attempts to get my daughter to nap, she finally fell asleep in my arms on the couch. Problem is, she's still sleeping! It's 6:30pm. I think I'm up for a late night company tonight. :}

i got my son to make 4 thank you cards for his bday presents. It's not his best colouring. he found it a little overwhelming to colour 4 of the same things! Wait till he tries to mass produce 40!



I was inspired by his card, so I made a few of these also. Mine are the mini cards from Stampin' Up! i think they're about 2x3 ish. The sentiment is from the Michael's buck 50 bin, the tulip image is from a 2nd hand sale I went to . Have to check out the company later. And the wooden button came from the buck section at my grocery store. SCORE!!! I coloured with Koh i noor pencils and mineral spirits.





it's very very cold here these days. SO this nice, bright bouquet is a nice break. Hoping to play some more tonight. Will definitely play tomorrow morning. Have the morning to myself and don't have to go out to buy stuff. So I'm home, alone, with ideas, and products, some new toys. All alone, by myself, no one else but me. Oh, did I say that all ready??!!! LOL

Thanks for looking,
Amanda
