NEW SWAP: Handmade flowers & last swaps button winner!

Hello everyone! I hope you've been enjoying spring as much as we have!

We went and picked up some new lily bulbs, as well as some plants for the large pots in front of the house.

We also got a couple of hanging baskets on sale too, which was great!!

We planted everything this past weekend, and early this week... I can't wait to see all the blooms!

I also came across some super old seeds so the kids and I through them in a few random pots,
 to see what happens. One can only guess what will grow!!

With this frenzy of spring I have been rather inspired to start bringing that fresh new beginning feel into the creations I've been making. More flowers, and brighter jewel tones! Bring on the sunshine!

That said I thought you may like to join in some spring time fun!
