Thoughts of Spring and a Giveaway
Don’t you just love spring? I have really been enjoying my spring so far; the weather has been so nice I just want to soak it up before the humidity comes. One of my favorite things about spring is the flowers. First, the beautiful trees in our yard begin to bloom. Then, just when I start to get disappointed that their blooms are gone, the daffodils come up along with the other bulbs. This year we have had some late bulbs (compared to the others) and our irises are just now blooming:
After the bulbs, the roses start to bloom. Thanks to the previous owners of our house, we have about 8 rose bushes in all colors. They are so pretty and despite my hacking on them, they continue to flourish!
So yesterday I went outside and helped myself to a few of the roses from pretty much every bush though the bush in the picture above definitely blooms the most. My cat wanted to come outside too but she’s not allowed :(
Once I had picked all the roses I wanted, I made 3 arrangements. I loved them so much I took pictures. I decided to put them in the house in the places I spend the most time. Sadly, 2 of the arrangements ended up in the basement (my work area) because that’s where all my time is spent! I wish I could say I spend most of my time in my craft room :) Oh well! I have been enjoying their delicious scent all day.
I love that you can see the rose bush (which they came from) in the background.
Then, today, since I was still really enjoying my roses, I took a picture of how nice my lunch looked next to them. Isn’t it funny how flowers brighten everything up?!
It may look like breakfast, but an omelette and apple juice work great for lunch as well :)
After I finished my work, I went to the post office (of course!) and then to the library. The delight of these two tasks was that I rode my bike. What a wonderful day! The sun was shining and the birds were singing. What more could I ask for? Well… I can think of one thing:
I have been wanting a scooter for so long but Jason won’t let me have one (mostly because of safety reasons). Isn’t this the cutest thing? I love the color; I think it was made for me! Maybe I can convince him by my birthday next month :)
Last but not least, I want to have another giveaway. Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I thought that could be our theme. Post a comment (by Sunday, May 11) naming one thing you love about your mom. On Monday, May 12, I will draw a name. For the prize, I will let my mom pick her favorite set of tags from the store to send to the winner, so it will be a surprise :)
One of the things I love about my mom is how well we work together. We both love to do creative things and when we’re together, we come up with the best ideas! I miss you mom, I wish you were here! Happy Mother’s Day!
Hello, and welcome to my little blog! What started out as a blog to show some of my scrapbook pages ended up being a blog that shows all of my projects, ranging from scrapbooking to decorating to sewing to photography. I also run a little online shop called

what i love about my mother the most is that she is very encouraging and understanding.
i love that scooter!! it is ssoo cute!!!
I’m spending way to much time trying to figure out my favorite…too many great ones to pick from!
Wish we were together to do something creative. I miss you too. Love you much.
I love that my mom had the courage to move to the US when she married my dad. She had to leave her family and learn a new language and culture. But I got to grow up and live here because of her move.
I love that my mom makes the best Southern food ever.
And tell your hubby that you need a scooter…my husband drives his all the time and although it makes me a little nervous, he loves it and I know God has his eye on him, so I have to let go. And if you get one, you have to go to Scenic City Scooters (http://sceniccityscooters.com/)!
i love that my mom is such a hard worker. she has always given 110% at every job she has ever had
I love that mom can do ANYTHING! She is amazing. She can make, fix, and create just about anything. Unbelievable. Because of her I have a creative spirit and I love that.
What I love about my mom is her friendship. Growing up, she was an awesome mom – strict but loving, kind, and an excellent role model. Now I love having her as my friend and still my mom too.
There are endless things I can say about my mom but right now, the best thing about my mom is how she has become my best friend.

I love that my mom says she “needs my help” in making her scrapbooks…and then when I come over all we do is look at old pictures while she reminisces.
I think your flowers look beautiful! I always forget about omelette’s. Thanks for reminding me! That little scooter is too cute!
I love the enthusiasm that my mom puts into everything. If I want to show her prints that I just got she will sit down and poor over them all with me!
One of the things I love about my mom is the hard worker in her. She works so hard, and owns a successful business. I hope to be as successful at my photography business as she is at her business. :)
I can’t choose anything about my mom that I love, because I love everything about her. I can’t thank her (& my dad) enough on how much they sacrificed & everything they have gone through to give my brother and I the life we have now.
