As I mentioned in my last post, we are READY for spring around here. Sunshine. Warmth. Color. Anything to get beyond this cold grey reality. While the weather around here isn't totally cooperating with my desires, I'll continue to take matters into my own hands and create something to introduce a little warmth and pop of color.
