Happy Mother's Day!

Good morning!

Aren't these daffodils so beautiful?

This is the time for them to be sure, our are a little late

(They usually come in mid February and then are snowed on

the 3rd week of February, LOL!)

This year they are barely making an appearance above ground.

I was starting to wonder if something got to them and we weren't 

going to see them at all!

My card is a Mother's Day wish today.

My own mom has been gone for quite some time but 

I do feel the miss of her very much this time of year 

and always want to make a Mother's Day card to 

remember her.

Let's Celebrate

Good morning!

Spring is in the air...well maybe, but this is the time when the daffodils start to bloom regardless.  Where we live the daffodils bloom in February and they are not yet in full bloom when it snows.

It never fails! LOL!

My card today features the new daffodils and a very 

delightful butterfly.

Like Dancing Scrapbook page

Good morning!

I rarely do scrapbook pages anymore since everyone is grown

but I came across some photos that I had taken of my great niece

a few years back and thought at least one of them would make a 

great page, so here we are.

The title came from a painting that Tim Cox did called "Like A Dance".

Some closer photos of the flowers and different parts and pieces.
