Spring Snow...

Happy Spring!

Paper Art

In need of a thank you gift, low on money and feeling creative...I decided to make a homemade present for a friend who likes owls.  I bought a mini canvass from Hobby Lobby ($3.00) painted it black, cut myself a very simple little owl, tree and hearts from some scrap paper I had lying around, glued them to the dried canvas with a hot glue gun and finished with some simple dots using gold puff paint from my classroom.  Voila, an extremely cheap gift and my friend loved it.  The whole thing took about a whole twenty minutes to create and cost me almost nothing but some time and creativity.  


Spring

Although it may not feel like it with all this winter snow, the first vestiges of spring are beginning to surface.  Little buds and blossoms, blades of green grass beginning to poke up through the earth as it wakes up from it's winter slumber.

Throwback Thursday


I took this photo almost two years ago on Easter Sunday in Buenos Aires.  I had at first only intended to take a photo of the mural, but I ended up capturing this candid instead...

Wet

Last night brought rain, then a heavy, wet snow.  This morning brought sun and higher temps which has resulted in puddles everywhere.
