Hi you guys! I’ve been busy cleaning out my crafty area to make room for new Hero Arts stamps (check out the Hero Arts blog on Monday to see them, can’t wait!). I found a bunch of stamps that I have duplicates of, plus some oldies but goodies, plus some buttons and flower embellishments. Here’s just a little sampling:
So, how about a giveaway!
To enter, leave me a comment with something you love about spring! I am going to limit the giveaway to US residents only, as I plan to get a BIG flat-rate postage box and cram it full of lotsa stampy goodness.
I’ll announce the random winner on Friday.
Here’s just a few things that I love about spring to get things rolling: the birds are singing, our wonderful Texas wildflowers are blooming (yep, even in this drought we’re having!), Miss Plum blooms her head off, it’s perfect for bike riding and kite flying, and the wild onions are tender and tasty (perfect for omelettes). Oh and strawberries and asparagus are in season. Yum.
Can’t wait to see your comments! And! For an extra chance to win, subscribe to my blog feed and leave a second comment to let me know that you signed up. Already a subscriber? Leave me a second comment and let me know that, too. Yay!
Wow! What a great giveaway. My favorite thing about spring is the warm weather and being able to go outside for bike rides and walks with the family.

What a wonderful giveaway, Lisa! Thanks for the chance to win – would love the sweet fox! I love Spring since I can finally get outside and enjoy a walk without slipping on ice or snow!
This is fabulous! My favorite thing about spring is letting the kids run around and play in the backyard! I LOVE that they are able to go outside and breathe in the fresh air!

My favorite thing about Spring….the birds singing…first sign in New England that winter is leaving.
This year what has me most excited was noticing the first buds on my grandmother’s Pussy Willow tree. It was my grandmother’s favorite tree. My grandfather bought it for her back in 1933 and planted it in their yard. I sat with her in her room the day they had to cut it down. She was devastated, as was I. I still remember how soft her hands were as I sat there silently with her and held her hand as they cut that beloved tree down. I loved that tree and the way those cut Pussy Willows would make her smile when we walked through the door with an armful of them.
What I didn’t know at the time is my Uncle cut a branch from it and planted it in his yard. (He now has 3 trees from that one little branch). Two years ago at a cookout he pulled me aside, he brought me into the garage and handed me a bottle with 3 sticks sticking out of it. At the time I had no idea what it was. I burst into tears when he told me. I brought it home and have lovingly willed it to grow for 2 yrs. This year it got buds for the first time. I have never been so happy or excited to see anything. This Spring is extra special because I feel like she is here with me now.
I know this isn’t a list of reasons why I like Spring but it’s a story I thought you would appreciate. :)
I hope you are well. :)
Oh Michelle, you made me cry! That is just so sweet. Hugs! :)
Oh boy, this is gonna be great! I can already imagine all the cool stuff in your box…I suddenly feel so lucky to be a US resident, almost feel guilty that I am :-)
I love the beautiful colors, the perfect temperature (which we have not had at all in NY this season) and of course I love putting all those colors go into my projects
Thank you so much for the chance to win!

My favorite thing about spring is seeing the little green buds in the trees. Can’t wait to see them flower and bloom. Thanks for the great giveaway!!!
Thanks for the giveaway. I love Spring because I love to go to Home Depot and get my flowers to plant in my flower beds and then look forward to enjoying the warm summer weather.
this is my first spring in this house and i have to say, it’s the lilac…i have a big really old white one and a teeny little purple one…they smell divine in the bright spring sun
Oh, how I love Spring! Where do I start! I love watching the bright, fresh green leaves open up on the trees. Just a few days ago I was marveling at a line of trees out my window at work and their stunning chartreuse hue. I love that gardening time is just around the corner … and I can plant my fresh herbs soon! And of course the daffodils and tulips … the joy they bring to me when passing them by on an otherwise drab and boring highway … taking me away from the nuisance of traffic or monotony of the drive. I think I’ll conclude my list with the excitement that Farmers Market season is just around the corner. : )
Thanks for a chance to win such a great giveaway.
My favorite part of Spring is having Spring Break so I can be off from work and spend quality time with my hubby and kids.
