Makin’ A Splash + Garden Time

Did you all enjoy a wonderful Easter? It was amazingly sunny & warm for our area – 64F for the high! Of course, the rest of the week we’ve seen rain and hail and even snow. But we enjoyed the lovely warmth on Easter, spent time outdoors, colored eggs with our son & his wife, and enjoyed a {huge} delicious dinner.

This week in the shop I have something *old* and something *new* and yes, even something *blue!* lol! But, no, it is not anything to do with weddings (unless they’re in the garden or at Sea World! lol). I’ve polished up the very first kit I ever released, Herbal Garden, and am offering it in my GingerScraps shop. I also have a new minikit, Fun Splash, that’s perfect for scrapping those sea life park photos! Both kits, plus the individual packs for Herbal Garden, will be on sale at 40% off through Sunday.

Signs of Spring …

It is Spring.

The sun is shining brightly… and there are fluffy little snowflakes drifting lazily down from the sky. It’s spring in North Idaho. I just packed away our heavy winter boots for the season. It’s spring. We’re working to clean out the garage. It’s definitely spring. The deer nibbled on my daffodils a little. It’s spring. The bluebirds are hanging around the birdhouses out front. It’s spring. The dog needs a bath, the bikes need tuned up, my shopping list includes things like steer manure and rose food … it’s spring!!

In celebration of spring, I’ve created some fun photo masks which are in the shop at 40% off all weekend.

MaskIt: Springtime {photo masks} – just $1.35 on sale!

Well, I’m off to do my spring-cleaning!

Happy scrappin’ ya all! :D

Irises. Spring. Hail. Freebie.

This week I’ve been busy digging up irises that have become overcrowded in recent years so I can separate the rhizomes and then replant them with more spacing. It’s a chore I have procrastinated on for a couple years now as I’ve watched the number of blooms on my dear irises become fewer in number, and now I am finally trying to tackle it. It is spring in North Idaho, though, which means I am doing this chore between rain/sleet/snow/hail downpours. Oh, and the bits of sunshine mixed in, as well. lol! I am really looking forward to seeing my irises come back, tho, and look as full and lush as they have in the past.

With most of the snow melted back now, we’ve been getting the trails and garden areas raked as we watch crocuses and daffodils starting to peek up. We hope to get the pond cleaned out and the fountain up for the season this week – we are *so* looking forward to that!

In between garden chores, I managed to put together a beautiful page stack which I am giving to you all as a delightful freebie!! I’ve created this stack using my Luminesce.Lavender kit – enjoy!
