Many may know that this column is written well in advance to its appearance in the magazine. I may be looking out the window at three feet of snow, thinking that one more “snow day” will put me over the edge when I need
to write an article about “spring”.
Such is the case this month. Where is my inspiration, when brown slush covers the ground, the cold
chills to the bone and the children have been in the house one day too many?
Past memories tell me that the brown will turn to green and from death will come life. I will take off the storm windows, and smell that fresh spring air and flowers will
push their blooms through the ground. Spring will come… sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but it always comes just in time to lift us up and give us a new beginning. It comes just in time to give a new look to our world. Spring brings new inspiration where there was none.
Check out the spring inspiring alterations below. Take a moment and think about what “spring” will inspire in you.

note: I use this bucket for scrap trash on my desk while doing a page, it only holds papers. I had so much fun pulling out old ribbons, and flowers in every style and format to play with. Mixing and matching,
and some items I have had forever were
finally used! I used the Cropadile to make holes to allow the brads at the top.

note: I just love these clear frames. There is so much you can do with them. Punching holes for your eyelets and brads are easy. Just let your imagination flow.

note:
I wanted to make a quick
something to run over to a sick friend--one
who has had one illness after another all
this brutal winter. A box of spring
seemed like the perfect solution. I
covered a tin that was packaging for
chipboard letters with half a sheet of
paper, a few embellishments, tied on some
bright ribbons, and filled it with seed
packets for spring and summer flowers.
Project time:
15 minutes.
