Well, we're finally past the coldest week of the year. Historically speaking, that is. But warmer days are definitely ahead! And with the longer periods of sunlight each day, I can't help but think of Springtime and Easter. Which prompted this set of 4 cheery note cards. In my Etsy shop, sometime tomorrow.
Last night Jim and I went to see The Blind Side, and really enjoyed it. Tonight we had "Game Night" with the kids and some of their friends and played Apples to Apples. I've really enjoyed my down time these past 5 weeks, but am also definitely ready to get all the kids back to school (next week Katie returns for her Spring semester) and have the house - and my studio - quiet. I seem to do my best painting when I'm alone, something that has worked against me since Katie's fall semester ended in mid December.
In the next few weeks I'm also hoping to get some gardening plans finalized. Though here in Minneapolis the last frost can occur quiet late in the year so it's really not a top priority right now - just something I really enjoy!
Hope you're thinking of Spring, too!
