We've been having some glorious sunny weather....OK it's still a tad on the chilly side but I'm not complaining....it's great to see the sun after a week of snow and rain.....and these guys are enough to put a smile on anybody's face....

with a few more sunny days they will be nodding their golden heads in the breeze....I love how the days are stretching.....6pm last night and it was still daylight....wooohoooo does this mean that Summer isn't far away.
Look forward to seeing all your Spring cards this week...pop over and check out what our lovely Guest Designer Sarah and the rest of the girls on the team have created this week....and apologies in advance that I won't be able to visit you all this week....MIA after Tuesday....in the meantime happy crafting and I'll catch up with you all tomorrow for another fabby challenge and delicious prize over at The Ribbon Girls

  14. Hi Kath, another fabby card. I love how the mice are springing across "spring." Don't think our daffies are as far on as yours but it's very windy and exposed here and not far from the North Sea so they're probably lying low and hoping for better weather.

    Enjoy your weekend.

  24. Beautiful! Spring is not here in Wisconsin US yet. It is raining so the snow is getting washed away but it might snow one more time. Then I can look for my crocuses. Thanks for sharing spring.
