I, for one, am so glad that winter is almost over and spring is pretty much on its way! The early spring flowers are coming up fast and some are already blooming. The color palette this month was so much fun to work with. I used the same colors in the Fan Freebie so you have more papers and elements to create your pages.

This has been a weird winter! When I started this kit a week or so ago, it was snowing and cold. Like, below zero cold. This week, however, the sun is shining and warm so I don't need my heated jacket and gloves when I'm working with my horses each morning. I could get used to this. If only it stays this warm and rains instead of snow. Works for me!
I love coffee. There is no life until after I've had my first cup. I'm testing out a few new flavors I picked up at the store last week. One is just ok. Two others are pretty good and the fourth flavor is a keeper for sure. After a cup or two, sometimes three, everything is right with the world :)

A winter wedding sounds so romantic. You know, with a light snow coming down on a starry night. But, I honestly prefer summer weddings. If I'm going to wear a dress, it better be warm. We haven't gotten much snow yet, but it has been COLD! My mode of dress this time of year includes a heated jacket, heated gloves, artic snow gear and boots rated to 80 below zero. Sub-zero temperatures all around me, but under all that gear -- it's like a summer day :) This year, as far as snow fall goes, Florida and New Orleans have had more snow than what we have. Since there's still plenty of time yet for major snow and cold here, I'm knocking on wood. At the moment, however, we're having 50 degree weather. Feels more like April than February :)
As a side note -- The flowers, leaves, the curly accents, the frame and the corners in this kit are actually carved from wood. A little Photoshop presto-chango to add color and this is what you get -- Enjoy!

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve. I rarely stay up to usher in a New Year. My mornings start way too early as it is. I have a stable full of hungry animals to take care of each morning, and that includes holidays as well.
I started thinking about my kids when I was working on this Blog Train. The year we moved from Southern California up to the Minnesota/Canadian border was memorable. My kids had never seen snow except in movies and Christmas cards. We moved in the summer so we could all have time to adapt to the weather change. The first day it snowed, they ran outside without shoes and discovered it was COLD !! But, they adapted over time, and found that winter was actually kind of fun. They learned how to skate, ski and snowmobile, and were somewhat disappointed when the snow started melting each spring. Good memories. But, I have to admit that I like Southern Wisconsin better. We still have snow, but it's always at least 30 degrees warmer here than up there and a whole lot less snow.
