Ahhhh.......spring finally! I thought this sweet nest was perfect for a friend who is celebrating a spring birthday soon and expecting a spring baby too!
The last of the snow is finally gone here and we spent Monday up at the lake having a picnic and waiting for this......
We were fortunate to be in the direct path of the eclipse here in upstate New York. It truly was an amazing experience. What surprised me most was how cold it got even when the sun was only partially blocked! Fortunately the sun came out again and life returned to normal!
Square cards are always fun to make so I loved Jen Timko's great sketch - hope you enjoy it too! Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

We were all in egg decorating mode last weekend so after a romp in the snow it was time for hot chocolate and eggs. The kids loved a new coloring spinner thingy (does it have a real name?) I got and made some colorful designs with it.
It was my turn to design the board at Tic Tac Toe this week and I was definitely thinking spring. I went down the left side of the chart making an egg wreath using spring colors and twine. Hope you join us!

Can't you just hear that Momma Bunny telling that little guy to stop fooling around in the egg and come out and help her? She has a lot of eggs to decorate in the next few weeks!
The inspiration for this card came from a picture taken in a photo booth at the Children's Museum in Rochester last week. We tried to explain to Will what was going to happen when he and Emma climbed in. I dropped the money in - or I should say put my credit card in because those photo strips are no longer a quarter nor do they take cash - $5.00 - yeow! Anyway I closed the curtain - Emma barked orders - and the lights flashed. And out of the strip of four pictures, this one is my favorite....
I would say we got five dollars worth of laughs of that shot!
So enjoy yourself and have fun with Cecile's unique sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
For someone who doesn't stencil much I sure do have a lot of stencils. So one of my stamping resolutions for this year is to use those stencils! The Fancy Floral from Gina K is simple, sweet and just perfect for this week's Tic Tac Toe Board.
Meanwhile an update on the Mush-Room! Will finally got to see his new room yesterday and was so excited - and he was even more excited when Auntie and Cousin Emma jumped out of the closet - lots of shrieking!
I went right across the top row of our Tic Tac Toe Challenge today! Lots of possibilities - hope you join us!

That bunny looks like he has already had a few cupcakes - I can relate! But he is a cutie and the perfect messenger on a birthday card! I start every year with a vow that I will keep up with birthdays and send cards and in January I did pretty well. In February I managed to keep up but I wrote most of them on the actual birthday so those cards were a tad late. Have to admit I rarely just sign my name - I always have a few things to say! We are only talking about four cards a month but I can only imagine what will happen in March......
I love the elements in Jen Brum's sketch this week! Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!
So many possibilities with Kim's great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Hope you join us!
