Signs of Spring

For the first time in months I can actually see my new patio.  It's been covered with snow for so long that I hardly remembered what it looked like.

 Still ice glaciers in the pool - but at least it's melting 

I can't wait until it warms up a bit more so that we can start to enjoy the outdoors again.  In the meantime, I wanted to start my indoor spring decorating.

I started with a frame I had sitting in a drawer.  I had forgotten about this frame but found it when I was cleaning out a drawer in my dining room.  Don't ask me what it was doing with the table linens...I can't explain that one.

I headed over to the Graphics Fairy and created this.  Recognize the picture...it's the same one from my Winter Blues Wednesday party.  Using Picnik, I created this little piece of art and added it to my front entryway.

I also created a little sign also using a similar image from the Graphics Fairy.  I simply used gorilla glue to glue two left over pieces I had from the board and batten treatment I did in my mudroom (you can click here and here to read all about that makeover).

Then using Mod Podge I glued the image to the board and coated the top with more Mod Podge. I kept the boards uneven and a little rustic.

Here is the final result.  I added a few bird nests and some robin's eggs.  A sweet little spring vignette that makes me smile every time I walk by it.  It's finally beginning to feel a little like Spring here in the Northeast.  So keeping in that spirit, I thought it was time to re-name my Winter Blues Wednesday party.  Starting tonight at 8pm EST, the new party will be called Swing into Spring.

Everything else will remain the same.  I can't wait to see what you have all been up to.  I know many of you share my excitement for any signs of Spring.  Looking forward to seeing you tonight.
