Spring Blossoms On #Handmade Sunday

 

Growing up in the Midwest the winter would be soooo long.  But come April I would see a little specks of blue under the crusted snow.  A few days later a very persistent Grape Hyacinth would push itself through the hardpack to welcome in the warm spring sun.  Soon after that my Grandmother's Daffodils, Irises, Tulips, Lily Of The Valley, and Snow Drops would follow (not in that order of course.)  

While I completely dislike freezing cold and love living in Cali I certainly miss those magical moments of my youth.  And when I see these lovely images it reminds me of my Grandmother and her amazing green thumb that would get me through those cold Wisconsin Winters.

A friend of mine, Shadow Dog Design, created a wonderful blog with many of our lovely Handmade Floral treasures and it has inspired me.  You can find her lovely blog post by Clicking Here . With Mother's Day right around the corner let the beauty of this collection lift your spirits and help you find that perfect gift for mom.

Spring Fever #Giveaway Sweepstakes: Two Fine Art Prints 2021

Feeling some spring fever?  Waiting patiently to plant your garden but you are still buried in snow?  Well never fear spring is just around the corner.  But until then take a look at these bright and sunny photographs and digital art from Photography by Colleen.  Even Better Yet enter to win 2 of these lovely prints for your own.

Colleen photographs Americana; the rust and dust that made America and the amazing nature that is unique to the United States.  Many of the images can be found right outside your door but a person has to look, really look to see it.  Having grownup in the Midwestern states she can empathize with the cabin fever many are experiencing at this moment.  One tactic for combating those winter blahs is to bring some of that Springtime sun and nature inside.  Invite Summer in and find those blues fly away.

What can you win?
This amazing giveaway has a $85.00 value (not exchangeable for cash) and includes TWO 11 x 14 (or 14 x 11) unframed Fine Art Photographs or Digital Art Prints.  You can chose either 2 different or 2 the same from any image you find on my RedBubble shop or Pixels Website.  Note the actual Prints will be ship directly from me to you and not created by RedBubble or Pixels.  My Fine Art Photographs/Digital Art are printed by ProDPI and are the highest quality prints.  And as a bonus since they are coming directly from me you will get a numbered and signed certificate of authenticity with each.

For Sweepstakes/Giveaway Rules and Guidelines go to HERE Please note for entry to be valid you must follow instructions in the giveaway otherwise it will be VOID and not eligible to win!
