I’ve Got Spring Fever ~ What About You?

  • Yes, I’ll have one of those cupcakes please 🙂

    Ann-Margaret, thank you for these wonderful, simple, yet difficult for me to do tips for the holidays. It is November 7, and I am going to try to do these things. Every year I tell myself, “Next year I’m not going through this stress.” Ha-Ha! So far, I’ve managed to come up with enough stressors that make me tired, tense, and irritable. Love what you said about writing down what is dear to my heart.

    So, thank you for this post! I will let you know how this year goes 🙂

    xoxoReplyCancel

      You are so welcome, Nancy!! I’m so happy you enjoyed this post!! It is so hard to not fall into the trap of feeling stressed during holiday time…I think our hearts just have so many things we want to do and be a part of. Here’s to us making our list and keeping in touch with it as the weeks go by so we can truly enjoy this special time of year! 🙂 Hugs, sweet friend!ReplyCancel

    Great blog entry Ann-Margaret! I agree with AnnMarie, anyone is lucky to run into you. You did a great job with the pictures, especially considering you took them with your phone. She is a very creative lady as well, beautiful owls. I wonder what the windows look like here in our Anthropologie. Must check them out! Thank you for sharing!ReplyCancel

  • Oh those creations are amazing…I espeacially love the fox and the rabbit.

    What lucky fate followed you that day, I love it:DReplyCancel
