Good Morning and welcome to the Think Spring Blog Hop! I am so excited to be hosting my first hop, along with my friend Nancy over at
Fancy with Nancy. I cannot wait to see all the projects everyone has come up with!
Spring is such an exciting time of the year. I think my favorite thing that I look forward to in the spring is just watching the earth come "alive". I love to see the grass go from brown to bright green, the leaves come on the trees, and the flowers peak their way out of the ground. Every year it seems like our winters are so loooong here in Chicagoland that spring is such a welcome sign! Everyone just seems to be a little nicer. I also love the fact that I get to see my neighbors again! We are all stuck inside the house all winter, it's nice to get out and enjoy each other's company again.
Okay, onto my project. I really wanted to make something that just embodied my thoughts on spring. When I was little I used to draw pictures and they would undoubtedly be of the grass, a few flowers, a house, the sun, and maybe a few other additions. I had that in my mind when I did this page with my little flower, grass, and leaves on this page. I used my
Pink Persimmon Banner stamps again, I just love these and of course some twine from
the Twinery! I hope you enjoy this project and all the other projects to come, we have some VERY talented ladies on this hop.
If you click on this photo you can see the layout much better.
I just love these banner stamps!
