Although it seems like this crazy winter will never end, I think spring is finally around the corner. I know it’s sort of dopey but it always makes me happy when I see the first robins and red wing black birds come back for the summer. (I saw both this week!)
The latest Catered Crop recipe swap is “Spring Fever”. As I already mentioned, different types of birds always make me think of spring. When I was trying to decide what image to use for my Spring Fever project, I decided that almost nothing says spring more than bird’s nests and eggs.
I love this image! Wryn reminds me of my daughter (and a little bit of myself). Every spring a bird will build a next in a bush we have next to our front porch. We both loving watching their progress - building the next, laying the eggs, chicks hatching and lastly getting ready to fly away.
Be sure to join the Catered Crop recipe swap, Spring Fever. Post your paper projects with a spring theme, whether Easter, Mother’s day, or a spring theme here.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful week.
