When
do you know it's spring?
When
snow disappears? We didn't really have much of it this winter.
When
spring flowers begin to bloom? We had snowdrops in January.
When
you set your watch to summer time? Time is relative, and so is
timing.
Flowers
and long sunny days are always a good indicator, no matter whether
it's the castle hill (looksl like I've missed the crocuses this year)
or the hilly sites of park Tivoli.
However,
I believe it's definitely spring when you
wash the fluffy winter eiderdown,
store it on te highest shelf of your wardrobe and replace it with
something lighter.
With
the change of the bed linen one might feel the need to
change and clean some more, so I finally managed to get through my
bathroom properly (yay!) and work a *little* on my crafting stash.
This time, I absolutely *had* to use my new background paper
featuring apple blossoms. But nothing seemed to fit the greenery. In
the end, I remembered I still had some pictures left from an old
calendar – among them, those two birds on a branch. I placed them
on a brown background paper and used 3D pads to fix them on the card.
As
the picture is quite big and I didn't want to cover up the background
completely, the only thing I added were a couple of flowers from my
Christmas collection.

And
most importantly: Is it there yet? :)

Schön, dass du zu Create in Austria gefunden hast... allerdings die April Runde, nicht Februar ;-) ... Trotzdem muss ich dich fragen: Bist du Österreicher(in) oder wohnst du hier? Das kann ich hier nicht so recht feststellen.
ReplyDeleteLG Birgit
Hehe, stimmt, es ist ja schon April :)
DeleteEigentlich bin ich beides, obwohl ich momentan studium-bedingt eher auswärts wohne.
LG, Veronika
