Well... this IS Minnesota after all... We had several inches of snow fall here last night! It IS pretty...but hopefully will be the last hurrah until NEXT winter!
The sun is shining now and it will be near 50 degrees today, so this will all melt quickly and green up the grass!
I wanted to share some fun giveaway wins with you, too! I won a gorgeous necklace from sweet Debra of Common Ground ! Her inspirational blog is always full of beauty! I won a giveaway from her wonderful link party...
I was able to choose something from her lovely etsy shop ! You'll have to stop by and visit- it's full of the most beautiful pieces! My piece has a chunky copper chain, a antique shoe buckle, and a blinged out key...
I love the beautiful colors and different metals...
and of course...a little bling is ALWAYS good...
She also sent me some fun goodies!
Vintage sheet music, French vocabulary cards, some fun recipe cards, an old key, and a sweet vintage crocheted piece... Thank you SO much, Debra! I just love everything!
Also this week, I received this sweet package from my friend Suzanne of Privet and Holly ! A few posts back, I had a photo of the two of us enjoying meeting and spending the day together! Isn't this wrapped sweetly?
She took a photography class a while back and had a giveaway of notecards she had made of some of her photos! I was one of the lucky winners! This is just the touch of spring I need today, Suzanne!
I just love the tulips...
Thank you so much, my friend!
Until next time... Hope you are having beautiful spring weather...and send some it my way!

ReplyDeleteHappy weekend~Hollie
How awesome Linda..not the snow part but all the goodies!
ReplyDeleteSnow? I should be grateful for what seems like never ending damp, gray and rain shouldn't I?
ReplyDeleteOh dear guess I shouldn't be complaining about our cold and wet....it could be snow, eh?? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat great gifts you've won, love the photos turned into postcards!

ReplyDeleteHere is hoping you a quick thaw and happy Spring! :)

That was a pretty sad sight this morning, wasn't it? I think you got more than I did though. At least it's all gone now.
ReplyDeleteLove all the goodies...lucky you :)

Linda, I talked to my Mom in Minnesota this morning and could not believe it..Went out for a walk this after noon in Orlando and it was so hot I barely made it home. How can this be?? When I lived there probably 30 years ago I remember one year we had snow the last day of April, so there was snow on the ground May 1st...hoping this is the last hurrah!

Such a sweet friend to send you such a nice package! Isn't the snow something else? I woke yesterday and it was snowing! YIKES...I want Spring and warm temps :) The snow didn't last long, so that's the good news!
ReplyDeleteSounds like one of those days when I say "I love Iowa"
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. I shudder to say that the snow really looks awesome. Tis such a rare occurrence here in Texas. Your necklace from Debra is so pretty! Have a warm, wonderful week. And thank you for your sweet words today ;) ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteWho are trying to kid Linda? There is NOTHING pretty about snow in APRIL!!! lol Our's is almost gone but still . . .
ReplyDeleteYou've been lucky girl! You received gifties from the best of the best!
Think Spring (not the 1 day at a time spring that we have had but the REAL spring!)!
Wow, snow in April?! I know that it is in the forecast for Michigan, too! We passed thru lots of snow covered mountains on the way out to WA, but luckily now that we are here it is mild and sunny, with green grass and flowers in bloom! Lucky you on the wins! I adore the key necklace, and the cards are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGREAT BLOG, LUV IT :) STOP BY & SAY HI GIO
ReplyDeleteSnow, snow go AWAY! Love your giveaway wins. I just posted another one! Come visit and enter. It is my favorite of the month.
ReplyDeleteWhat was with that Friday night snow? Sigh. At least the tulips are popping up along with all their friends. Soon it will be the trees. What a fun necklace to win.. fun week for you.
