Hello Spring...hello flowers...hello birds and friends.
I found this quote this morning....love it because it is how I feel. It seems that whatever season we are in...it's my favorite.
"To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring."
~George Santayana
I do love my Spring weather....but the colors and smells of Fall...and soup on the stove....the sun that warms me through and through in the Summer...and then of course Winter with it's holiday cheer...I could never choose, but today I love Spring :)
I'm popping in quick as a wink today...so much to do....can't wait for life to slow down just a bit. Lazy Summer days, swinging in the hammock, reading stories to my little one with our bare feet buried in the green grass, sounds heavenly. But I don't want to wish my days away...each one is wonderful and there will never be another day like today.
Loving my Melissa Frances stash....I used Melissa Frances paper, tag, gems, and chipboard wings here along with Basic Grey and k&Co. rubons and dimensional sticker. This new little paper bag card base is a new love for me. A while back I was sent some goodies from Worldwin Papers....and I have been itching to use one of these darling card bases for a while and had such fun with it yesterday.
And...a couple more peeks at the class I'll be teaching at the Reflections Event next week.
Let's see....T-Ball tonight, some snuggles and homework this afternoon, perhaps a Popsicle or two. Off to get busy.
Enjoy your day!
Melis
you have a couple of cards on HGTV and I just wanted to say they are so pretty and you are everywhere I blink!

Lovely as always Melissa!
May I ask... is that PTI Ribbon that you used on your card? And did you sew ON your chipboard? I'd be afraid of ruining my sewing machine. :o( Would you mind sharing how you did it?
Thanks again! :-)
