I am so ready to wave winter goodbye, only because the weather has been so nice, and I have been teased by mother nature over the past month. It has been so mild around here this winter, that my son, Struan, hasn't even been able to use his snowboarding tickets that he got for Christmas!! I'm not complaining - but he will be soon!
Oh no! - I spoke to soon! I started writing this blog last Wednesday, and Struan used his tickets on Saturday, I got a call from his girlfriend at 10.30am, and he was being brought down the slope on a sled by the EMT's! So he got taken to the hospital up there, and David and I drove up to New York State where they were, as he wasn't going to be able to drive home. He has a broken collarbone and will be in a figure eight and wear a sling for six weeks. His biggest concern now is that the High School play is in four weeks and he plays Judas and John the Baptist.
Never a dull moment - I think I'll finish up this blog, before something else happens!
So welcome to the second Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop of the Year. There will probably be a lot of "hopping" on this one, so hold on to your Easter Bonnets and let's get going, shall we?
If you got here by way of April Williams then you are on the right trail, if not then you had better pop on back to the beginning at Sparkle N Sprinkle to be eligible for all the prizes that are up for grabs.

For my first card, I went with these cute little chicks - don't they just look like they are having their own little party?
WAIT FOR IT! ........ WAIT FOR IT!.......
WAIT FOR IT! ........ WAIT FOR IT!.......

For the background, I used Set 399 - Spring Backgrounds.
The little chicks are from Set 426 - Easter Chicks
The saying is from Set 425 - Spring Swirl

I just couldn't get enough of these little "peeps", and actually I really liked the spring background too, so using the same images and adding another little partying "peep" - I came up with my second card, with a totally different look! Click here if you need full instructions.
