Bring on SPRING!!!

Seriously, I'm sooooo ready! I know it's only February, and most people back east have been experiencing a lot of snow, etc. but I'm TOTALLY pumped for Spring!

So I just ordered a few bright necessary items:

 Spring Clothes, shoes (Have I told you all I have a major shoe addiction?????) 

and

 crafting-fun-times!!!

(Will post some lovely photos soon!)

When I work on my craft items, it always helps to have some nice inspiration! So . . .  using this mosaic I will be working on my new Spring Line for Memory Bean Designs . . . so stay tuned! :-) Cutesy turquoise, pinks, yellows and greens inspired by a Spring Garden . . .

Happy Wednesday!

P.S. Call me silly but I can't wait to see who the top 24 are for American Idol tonight:-) We're old married people and we have our shows we watch weekly. Cheesy? Yes but we love it!!!

Now I looooooove to garden!

Especially when it's sunny and quiet outside, with the birds chirping.

Even pulling weeds, there's just something calming and therapuetic about it.

Sooooo with that said, even though it's COLD outside I'm off to plant Spring bulbs and our flowers we just bought to brighten things up.  
 It's so nice to see the tulips and daffodils start to sprout:-)

 Hope you all have a LOVELY Monday!!!
