Spring in my step...

I'm still so elated that Spring is really here! It really lifts my spirits and gives me energy. I think I may suffer with a tinge of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and I am definitely happier in the sunshine. Having said that, it is absolutely pouring here at the moment and I am still feeling happy, so who knows?!

No school trips this week, but Design Technology day, which involved making rainforest animals out of bubble wrap, tin foil and paper mache. Next Friday is Art Day, which means more Year 3 chaos, and then only a week until the holidays!! Woohoo!! I will need a rest by then!

I baked yesterday - oatmeal cookies which were meant to be oatmeal and raisin but ended up being oatmeal, cherry and choc chip. They didn't last long - the girls both had friends over today so there isn't even a crumb left.

Andy and I had the rare treat of lunch out on Thursday at Cafe Rouge, followed by a quick pop into Fat Face where I HAD to buy this gorgeous bag. I haven't treated myself for quite some time, but I was in need of a bag for Spring (Andy failed to see this need, but I ignored him).

I did some other bits of shopping too this week - some for my Etsy shop and some just for me. Despite the fact these dogs have seen better days I couldn't leave them in the shop, and they are now sat on my kitchen table waiting for the perfect spot. The bird candlestick I am going to incorporate into my Easter decorating. Andy disagreed with those of you who said it wasn't too soon to decorate for Easter, so I have agreed to wait for a few more days. I do listen to him sometimes!

I hope you are all having a lovely, Springy weekend.

Cathy, I LOVE your bag. It's gorgeous. Men really have no clue as to what makes us tick do they?!

Hope you're having a lovely sunny weekend. Which reminds me, have you ever read Elspeth Thompson's The Wonderful Weekend Book?

Hello dear Cathy! I am so happy you are enjoying spring weather! Just like you, I feel so much happier when the sun is shining! I hope the rain passes soon. I always remind myself how much the growing things need it! :) Your african violets are lovely. One of mine is blooming too. The cookies look yummy and your new spring bag is gorgeous! The art projects sound fun and interesting! I am so glad you found some pretties. I could not have left the sweet doggies either. Have a lovely day! xoxo~ Paula

I think I know what you mean about being happy in spring even though it is pouring with rain; you can see the grass growing, bulbs pushing through, catkins on trees and you just know that better weather is on the way and that knowing feeling is enough for now :)
