The weatherman got it right this week...we are having
lots and lots of wet snow!
Why is March colder and snowier than February??
lots and lots of wet snow!
Why is March colder and snowier than February??
Before the whole wet slushy mess began,
I bought some fresh tulips...
so it would look like Spring on the inside.
But what I really wanted to tell you about
was a giveaway that I won.
The very creative and talented Carol at Art and Sand
was offering one of her handmade books,
which she so graciously customized for me.
The theme of this adorable little book is
Thinking About Life.
It's filled with wonderful quotes about Life,
each one presented on its own page
in a very creative way.
Thank you, Carol, for this delightful keepsake!!
If you have never visited Carol's Blog,
be sure to stop by. You won't be disappointed.
