Happy April everybody!!

"April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go." - Christopher Morley

Where 'o where has all the time gone?  The calendar SAYS spring is here, but for many of us, the cold temps just keep hanging on!  So, are you yearning and burning for that hint of renewal, the sound of chirping birds, blooming flowers all around and just the overall feeling of new growth and renewal?  We are!! And to get you in the mood, the Lollipop Girls chose some sweet inspiration from all the super talents over at Etsy...

My goodies were delicious, I've created a couple of layouts, check 'em. Thanks again for such a sweet prize.

Oh, and Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on us today here in NH. 12-14 inches expected. It's been snowing since 8pm last night. Spring? I think not.

Nice collage, I have a few great ideas swirling around in my head :)
