GOOD BYE TO SPRING IMAGES...

Here are the wonderful sweet creations that Stefanie sent to me. Her box arrived and when I opened it....there was green Easter grass cushioning everything inside of it. Real true Easter grass made from wooden fibers just like I remember it from Germany. Yes, I admit, I cried...
Her four ATC's are very vintage in style. I really like the cut up newspaper grass.

Thank you for making my Easter a little bit of home away from home...I look forward to our next swap after summer is over maybe...

GOOD BYE TO SPRING IMAGES...


Now that summer is finally here, it is time to put up the spring ATC images from our swap with Stefanie and Birgit before autumn comes. I think I have been lazy and mixing up my seasons a little bit. But life happens and sometimes good things are worth waiting for, so enjoy the collages...The first set is from Birgit.


I just love the three little white porcelain bunnies in their simple elegance. Easter means delicate to me...coloring eggs, making baskets and Easter cards. A rebirth of the soil, flowers, daylight hours and of course that sweet chocolate Easter bunny!

Vielen Dank Birgit for bringing Easter to my heart from Germany in your soft romantic style!
