Where is Spring?!

That is the question I ask myself each morning when I wake and look out my window! Only 3 days ago, the temp's here was hitting in the lower 40's and starting to melt some of our massive mounds of snow (I actually awoke both them days to hear the birds chirping too)! However, since yesterday, we have had temps in the low 20's with gusty winds...and MORE SNOW! The local weather station says we are actually 40" ABOVE the average snowfall for the month of February!!!! Now, that is INSANE! And it got me wondering.....WHERE IS SPRING?!


So, since I can't see any signs of Spring outside...I will make my own Spring inside! And with that...I AM HAVING A GIVEAWAY! This will be a Spring Giveaway! Something that can bring a little cheer into my home & one lucky winners home as well.



What am I giving away?! Hmmmm, I don't know yet....LOL! But, this will encourage me to get back into my craft room and get some crafting done! Besides, I have a few designs that I have been thinking about so this will get me to finally make them! I have been so lazy (winter blues) with my crafting that I need something to motivate me....and what better way then to have a giveaway?!




"Where is Spring?!" Giveaway Rules:

1. You MUST be a follower of my blog! This means you must actually "sign up" to be a follower, not just check in daily. You can do so by clicking on the "follow" button on my right side bar. It will then prompt you from there.

2. You MUST have a blog of your own OR leave me your email addy in your post so I can email you if you are my Winner! I will NOT come looking for you (I will send you an email though), if you do not claim your prize with me within one week, I will also forfeit your name and draw another winner.

3. You MUST comment ONLY HERE on this post! I will not enter you any other way. Sorry, I draw my lucky number by random number generator and I do that with the number you have from this post only. This just makes it alot easier for me as I usually have atleast 150 entries or more.

4. Do NOT post about this Giveaway on your Blog!!! This is for my followers ONLY (that is why I do NOT put the word "giveaway" in my titles anymore)! Sorry, I hate for people to show up on Blogs just to enter giveaways! And believe me, there are a bunch of people who just scout out giveaways in Blogland! So, if I do see this posted about on your blog...I will remove your comment and entry.

5. Lastly, I will be pulling one lucky winner on Saturday, March 13th!!! So, Good Luck everyone and Hopefully we will be seeing signs of Spring shortly!

  9. I keep telling myself that we just need to get through this month and the rest will be all down hill. I think everyone is due for some Spring time. Can't wait to open the windows, see some flowers sprout, see some of that green stuff instead of white. Oh how the list could go on.

    And I feel just like...I need some motivation to get craking on some crafting. Ideas run through my head but I can't get up to do them.

    What a fun idea though, a Spring giveaway...get us into the Spirit. Please enter my name :)

So this week I have not left my home barely got dressed all week that is so bad.So come on spring I can't go on like this much longer!!

  14. Spring has also been absent from NE Indiana. Just when a glimmer of warm weather appears on the horizon we get more snow, more wind and more cold. But one sure sign of spring is maple syrup time and we have tapped 8 trees and made one whole pint of syrup so far. Hopefully more will follow.
    Thanks so much for your generous give away and I hope you come out of your winter doldrums soon.

  58. Count me in, Char! We could use some springtime sweetness here in Maine.

    We were down to bare ground just the other day and the temperatures had finally started to moderate a bit, at least for Feb. in Maine. Thursday brought torrential rains, 70 mph winds, power outages and ... a flooded basement. So not fun.

    It's actually warmed up (a bit) here in central Alabama!!
    My husband and I grilled outside today and it was balmy in the 60s.
    I just hope it stays this way so I can get the vegetable garden going soon. Love the blog! My favorite part is the wooden crafts, I've been making all sorts of things for the house!! Thanks for all the inspiration, Char!

    I've also added a little twist to the corn bags, I sew them with unbleached muslin and then make "envelope pillowcases" for them so I can interchange the look and wash them! =D

  76. Char...we didn't get one flake, but we lost power here for 3 days and nights! We had the wildest wind storms I have experienced in 60 years! Trees and wires down all over the place ..cars, houses and various other stuff destroyed. We are in NH, and it sounded like freight trains roaring through here Thursday night. We JUST got electricity back at our house around 10 tonight. Glad I decided to check my 'blogs'! I would love a bit of Spring- in any form--right about now!~ Please enter me in your drawing!

    Have a great week, and I hope you see some good weather soon!
