Hello ,

Are you seeing the signs of Spring? Here is one of the signs that are sprouting right around the corner from my craft room! We have tomatoes and peppers that are getting a jump-start for our garden this year!

One more round of being re-potted into their own individual posts to get even bigger before the final planting in the garden! 

Reminds me of the process of designing handmade cards - I look at the stamps, the first round of card ideas "sprout" in my mind. Second round, of design development, is picking the card colors and tools/techniques to use for the card. Finally, round three, is to make the card and then send it to someone special for it to be enjoyed - just, like the crop that will come from the garden this summer!

Both preparing and planting our garden and designing cards and making them are processes that I enjoy and look forward to each year!
