    Yummy candy Trudee! My favorite thing about spring is the renewed life all around and the return of many kinds of birds to our feeders.

  3. Brandi Livingstonon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:13 am

    My favorite part of spring is just the feeling ~ you can FEEL spring in the air and I love it. Yes I’m feelin’ LUCKY!

  6. Glorieon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:29 am

    OOhhhhh, very pretty treats … my favorite part of spring is the warmth … Chicago winters are very long and we’re more than ready for spring when March rolls in …

    When I was a kid, yesterday, I love that it stayed light sooo late!

  9. Jen del Muro (genie1314)on 01 Apr 2007 at 7:44 am

    Trudee Treats!! cute! drooling over these goodies and crossing my fingers!
    My fave part of spring is the thunderstorms. Seriously! I love listening to the rain and watching the sky light up with lightning and hearing the roaring booms. (all of this is great without the TX tornados!)

  10. Linda (LSN on SCS)on 01 Apr 2007 at 7:54 am

    Trudee Treats….that name is making me smile. Reminds me of our beloved Lab who we would always ask “Do you want a puppy treat?” His ears would always perk up and he would start drooling. Much like me and others at the sound of Trudee Treats.

    My favorite part of Spring is my garden starting to come to life! That and I can get my two boys outside to play (the house stays much tidier that way)!

    Linda

  11. Lesaon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:56 am

    My favorite thing about spring is the baby animals. I love babies. The cows and ducks are so adorable when they are babies! ;)

  12. Amyon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:17 am

    I love this stuff! I want lots and lots of it! Love your blog and can’t wait to see all the wonderful creations you’ll showcase here!

    My favorite thing about spring is the sense of new beginning it brings us. Especially where I live (MN), this sense of new beginnings is vital to our recovery from a long, harsh winter!

    Thanks!

    Amy

  13. Angie Kelleyon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:28 am

    Spring is my most favorite season, I love it all, but I think that my most favorite thing about spring is all the colors! The wonderful fresh spring green that is only found in nature, all the beautiful tree blossoms in pinks and whites promising good thing to come. the wild flowers in every color under the rainbow. All the beautiful bright bulb flowers , hot pink tulips, blue irises, and of corse the bight yellow daffodils!! The sky is always so blue and bright, sometimes with poofy white white clouds. It’s the best season ever All those colors and beauty to draw insiration from, love it!!

  14. pegg Lon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:30 am

    Ah-how fun! I really love the new look of your blog!
    My favorite part of spring is no more snow and more time outdoors — hiking, walking by the river, smelling the fresh air!

  15. Jackie in NCon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:39 am

    My favorite thing about Spring is all the colors - the white Bradford Pear trees, the purple and pink blooms on the other trees (not a gardener, don’t know the names) and just how quickly everything greens up! And being warm again after so much cold weather.

  16. Viv (VivLyn)on 01 Apr 2007 at 8:46 am

    Wow, how awesome! I love the rebirth of all the trees, flowers and the smell in the air!

  17. Melissa C.on 01 Apr 2007 at 8:49 am

    My favorite part of Spring is everything. I love all of the blooming flowers/trees. I love the sunshine! Spring is just the perfect season. Not to cold, not to hot.

  18. Bevon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:55 am

    My favorite part of spring is when I see the blossoming apricot tree outside my kitchen window. When I see the buds………it is a surprise every year…it reminds me that Spring is springing!!
    I live in a suburb of Chicago..so to see this makes what always feels like a LONG winter.. a little shorter and brighter.

  19. Alora - StampinSweetieon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:05 am

    Love your cards & your new blog! :o)

    My favorite part of spring is the warm weather! We live near a lake and we’re really looking forward to going on our “after dinner walks” around the lake. We let the kids run and play, and sometimes we’ll stop and feed the ducks. It’s just so much fun being with the family outdoors!

  20. Rachelon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:07 am

    With three boys, opening the windows to let the fresh air in is my favorite part of spring!! And, I love the flowers too.

  21. Annieon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:14 am

    My favourite part of spring is when all the trees get leaves and the flowers begin to bloom! It’s warm and everything comes alive again! Up here in Sweden the winters are LOOOOOONG and DARK (in December the sun sets about 3 PM!), so spring is SO WELCOME!

  22. Deborah in Ohioon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:19 am

    My favorite part of Spring is the happy feeling it gives you relating to everything coming back to life. It’s like a new start for everyone and everything.

  23. Charleeon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:19 am

    What fun. I like Treats, and some from Trudee would be faboo. My favorite part of spring is seeing the golden daffodils bloom and watching our Plum tree burst into flower. Everything just feel fresh and new.

  24. Becky Dustinon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:29 am

    I live in North Pole, Alaska, we still have snow on the ground here…but, we still consider this spring. Because it’s warming up, the snow is slowly melting and I am filled with joy that winter is over. My favorite part of spring is feeling iike I have come through and survived another winter. I feel exuberant and filled with hope!!!

  25. Linda Webbon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:33 am

    Let see….. My favorite thing about spring is the flowers blooming, the grass turning greener and my daughter coming home for spring break (we really miss her). Thanks for all your great creations and TREATS.

  26. Allisonon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:34 am

    Oh my…these treats look fab! Since it is snowing in Calgary as I write this, I would say the end of snow would be super! Moreover, I would love to get my kids out and burn off “their beans”!

  27. Christion 01 Apr 2007 at 9:47 am

    What an awesome giveaway! Thanks! My favorite part of spring is the COLOR! Winter is too dreary - and spring brings some much needed color back into our yards and lives!

  28. Kheilaon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:00 am

    My favorite part of Spring? All the green and flowers on the trees. Mine has yellow blossoms and looks so amazing it always makes me smile when I drive up the street and see it! The worst part is when those millions of yellow flowers make their way to my courtyard and back patio, begging to be cleaned up! By the way, I am so happy you are blogging and I will be following this daily. Great treats, Trudee!

  29. Patsy Turneron 01 Apr 2007 at 10:02 am

    I love the beautiful flowers that pop up and open. The azalea’s are one of my favorites, but what is best are the daffodils I get everytime one of my children goes outside. Keep a vase by the sink for them!!! Hope everyone has a happy spring and gets lots of daffodils!!!!

  30. CJ Maxon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:05 am

    I love spring and all the wonderful colors it brings. I also love the fact that summer is right around the corner!

    Happy One Week Anniversary!!!

  31. Louiseon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:06 am

    Congratulations on your first week in blogdom.
    I’m celebrating my first week, too….but I digress. The BEST thing about spring is opening the windows and letting in the fresh air after having the house sealed up all winter. What a wonderful feeling!

  32. Amyon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:13 am

    My favorite part of spring is the way the rain smells.

    Very cool blog candy! Thanks!

  33. Angelon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:14 am

    Definitely the flowers and blooms on the trees. Just moved here to Georgia and the foliage is so pretty right now.

  34. Natalieon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:17 am

    My favourite part of spring is not having to wear winter boots!

  35. Heather Leechon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:20 am

    My favorite thing about Spring is when the crocuses, tulips, and other bulbs start to bloom. We have a rock garden in our front yard and I walk by everytime I go to and from my car.
    Awesome blog candy!!
    Heather L.

  36. Julieon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:33 am

    My favorite part of spring is watching everything turn green and knowing that Summer is right behind it! Thanks for the fun goodies!

  37. Pam Clayon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:42 am

    Opening the windows and getting a breeze-a little warm, a little cool. The flowers blooming- yellows, purples (my favorites!), the fragrances. Everything is renewed, starting again! How fun that you have started a blog just as I have started looking at them! I am enjoying “following my bliss” with you!

  38. Kim ~ nutsymuhlon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:45 am

    Wow, what Bee-u-tiful Trudee Treats! I have to say, my favorite part of spring is when everything becomes colorful again. Living in PA during the winter, everything has this grey, boring, depressing, bare look to it. In spring the grass gets a little greener, flowers pop out of the ground, and everything looks happy and colorful again.

  39. Amber H.on 01 Apr 2007 at 10:57 am

    I have never ever had/nor seen any Basic Gray paper. Spring… The smell in the air, flowers in my yard, kids able to go outside and play in few layers, able to take long walks, grilling! Need i say more?

  40. Barbra1224on 01 Apr 2007 at 11:06 am

    Fabulous candy! I love Basic Grey and coordinating stuff… oooooo!!!! My favorite part of Spring is the weather warming up enough to go outside again. Something about green grass and sunshine just makes you feel happy!

  41. YMon 01 Apr 2007 at 11:11 am

    Ohhhh I do I do I do want it!! Pick me, pick me, pick me! I love spring the nice weather and the long long days of sun light!!!

  42. Cheryl Kelly-Van Domelenon 01 Apr 2007 at 11:19 am

    I live in Wisconsin, so my favorite part about spring is knowing that winter is finally done!! Thanks!
    Cheryl KVD

  43. tyrymom29on 01 Apr 2007 at 11:22 am

    My favorite Part of Spring is the colors , The smells , and of course waking up to the birds chirping . Spring is my favorite season !!!!

  44. Melissa Banianon 01 Apr 2007 at 11:23 am

    My favorite part of spring is really the relief from winter. I love to finally get to change out of my heavy winter clothes and start wearing my cooler clothes. It makes me feel like I have a whole new wardrobe! ;)

  45. Denise {imchatty}on 01 Apr 2007 at 11:39 am

    My favorite part of spring is all the new life blooming around us, finally seeing green grass, and the end of Lent so I can go back to Starbucks for my first mocha in 40 days!

    Thanks for being so generous and congrats on your new blog…I am lovin’it!

  46. doverdion 01 Apr 2007 at 11:46 am

    My favorite part of spring is having it stay daylight longer. I love seeing the lush, green grass & the flowers starting to bloom. Nothing better than a rainbow of colors after a long, dull winter.

  47. Dawnmercedeson 01 Apr 2007 at 11:56 am

    My favorite part of spring is seeing the tulips come up in my front yard. They were a gift from my grandfather several years ago and boy have they multiplied! I love the fact that you don’t have to wear big coats any more too!

  48. MichelleDon 01 Apr 2007 at 12:14 pm

    Wow, those are some Bea-U-ty-Ful Trudee Treats!! Who can resist playing?!! Ü I would have to say that my favorite thing(s) about Spring is flowers blooming everywhere and the sounds of baby birds chirping as their parents come to feed them. Thanks Trudee, and Happy Spring!

  49. Michelleon 01 Apr 2007 at 12:14 pm

    Yummy!!! My favorite part of spring - let’s see, longer days, more sunshine, oh, and best of all, flowers! Daffodills, tulips, and irises are my favorite part of spring. I love it when everything is green and blooming.

  50. Alex (aka Sillybirds)on 01 Apr 2007 at 12:26 pm

    Oh that is seriously scrummy blog candy - my favourite part of spring is daffodils and the lovely bright and hopefully warm days (not always happening here in the UK!!!!)

  51. rebecca wheeleron 01 Apr 2007 at 12:33 pm

    my favourite part of spring is a day like today…rainy this morning, perfect for stamping in your jammies and slippers, then the sun breaking through the clouds, flooding the room with brilliance…the birds are singing…it feels and smells like spring…New beginnings…the best of time…Happy fools day!!!

  52. Charmaineon 01 Apr 2007 at 12:34 pm

    My favorite part of Spring is that smell that’s in the air. . .my little cousin always said “it smells like worms.” I don’t know if I’d say that, but it’s a different smell from winter air! :)

  53. Cindy Keeryon 01 Apr 2007 at 12:53 pm

    My favorite part of spring is all the ornamental Japanese cherry trees in bloom - they’re so gorgeous! And I love it when all the little pink petals cover the grass.

  54. Kellyon 01 Apr 2007 at 12:59 pm

    I love when the flowers on the trees bloom. When you step outside the fragrance is overwhelmingly beautiful! I love to sit on my swing in the front yard and look out over the fresh cut grass and reminisce about all the wonderful things that happened last year.

  55. Pattyon 01 Apr 2007 at 1:10 pm

    This sounds ironic, but I like the rain that comes during Spring. Because when it’s Spring Rain, that’s where the wildflowers grown. The other times it rains and just floods. :)

  56. Paulineon 01 Apr 2007 at 1:39 pm

    Awesome “Trudee Treats’! I think my favorite part of spring is when you hear the birds chirping early in the morning, and the smell of the warm spring air. It’s so nice to see green grass, and everything in bloom after a long (sometimes cold) winter here in Canada!

  57. Bethon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:11 pm

    My favorite part is the warm weather and being able to wear sandals!!

  58. Jessica (jessrose21)on 01 Apr 2007 at 2:19 pm

    The robins returning home is my favorite part. They are so cute hopping around the lawn, tilting their heads back and forth! I have three robin rubber stamps and need to find some more. :D

  59. Kristineon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:20 pm

    I love all three of your treats. My favourite part of spring is the new plant growth and the sunshine and spring air.

  60. Pam Morrison 01 Apr 2007 at 2:21 pm

    This is going to sound so bad but….

    My favorite thing about spring is that the kiddos play outside and I can get some peace, quiet and stamp time back!!!! Woo Hoo.

    ***I do keep the windows open to see and hear them.

    I am so happy to have found your blog. I have been a fan of your SCS gallery for a long time!

    BLOG ON TRUDEE!

  61. Peggy Maieron 01 Apr 2007 at 2:21 pm

    Spring is full of things I love, but if I had to choose a favorite it would be all the flowers (both in the ground & on the trees). Such color & fragrance!

  62. ~Lana B.~on 01 Apr 2007 at 2:25 pm

    I’m totally BOUNCIN over those papers, ribbons, and flowers!!!! What I love most about Spring is definitely the colors. Thanks for sharing!

  63. Amy Hoogstadon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:25 pm

    Awesome Trudee Treats, Trudee!!!! My fav part of spring is DEFINITELY seeing the crocuses coming up in everyone’s gardens. I love those little things:)

  64. Kimberly H.on 01 Apr 2007 at 2:26 pm

    I love that unbelievable bright, clear green of the grass. I live in Dallas, so it doesn’t look like that for long, lol. It’s soon dark and thick (then brown). When it’s bright green, it just seems like everything in the world will be good.

    I also like the perfect weather - I can zip around in my sassy convertible!

    Fun idea!

    Kimberly

  65. Virginiaon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:43 pm

    Trudee glad to see you have a blog so we could all have a peek into your mind! My favorite part of spring is the colors of new growth. Green grass. Yellow, pink, purple flowers. Makes me think of SU! colors! Such a welcome change from the bleakness of winter.

  66. Adelinaon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:45 pm

    I love the blooming flowers and the smell of rain. You know how rain smells when it’s hot outside and raining? It is such a calming scent.

  67. Nancyon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:50 pm

    Great candy! Congratulations on your first week!

    My favourite part of spring is breaking out my sandals again!!

  68. Donnaon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:52 pm

    how fun, Trudee!! Wow - what is there NOT to love about Spring - I love the random showers, the bluebonnets in the fields (check out Jenn Balcer’s blog if you don’t believe me) the not yet so scorching HOT weather, the birds in abundance, annual vacation for us to visit my family in CA and the trees & lawns that get their lushness back after winter. Ok that was more than one…sorry

  69. Deanna Tamon 01 Apr 2007 at 2:56 pm

    What I like about Spring time is when the weather is getting warmer and all the flowers blooming. Happy anniversary.

  70. jodeneon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:01 pm

    Since I live in saskatchewan my favorite part of spring is the snow melting away and warmer temperatures.Also now I dont have to worry about driving anywhere and getting storm stayed.Yeh.Great blog candy!

  71. Estheron 01 Apr 2007 at 3:02 pm

    lambs! seeing the newborn baby lambs skipping in the fields!

  72. Lauren Vincitorioon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:05 pm

    Yay for Trudee and her Treats!! I love all of the blooming trees and shrubs - cherry blossoms, dogwoods, forsythias. Such a beautiful and hopefilled season!!

  73. Jan Harringtonon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:07 pm

    My favorite thing about spring? I can’t choose between two: warm, breezy evenings, and the scent of lilacs. My favorite paper? Basic Grey of course!

  74. Sarah Vrolykon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:09 pm

    Ooooohhh … those are some wonderful treats, Trudee!

    My favorite part of spring is that I can send the boys out to play much more regularly … the birds are singing … and I love to see the grass greening up and flowers starting to bloom!

  75. jamion 01 Apr 2007 at 3:16 pm

    Those are some awesome treats Trudee! Hmmm…favorite thing about Spring? That would have to be SoCal StampMania!!! :)

  76. donna calamarion 01 Apr 2007 at 3:21 pm

    I have always loved your work so I was thrilled you started a blog. I love to visit. My favorite part of Spring is the warmer temperatures. I love not being cold anymore, and feeling the warmth of the sun. Oh yeah, the pretty flowers and greenery are nice too.

  77. cassandraon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:27 pm

    I love that the kids can finally go outside and burn some energy after a long winter! I love the new buds and flowers that are starting to pop up and the sound of the birds chirping away. My daughter’s birthday is in the spring, and so is DH & my wedding anniversary! I guess that’s more than one, but there are so many things to love about spring!

  78. Stefanie (ssummerer)on 01 Apr 2007 at 3:29 pm

    Wow, what a treat that would be! My favorite part of spring is seeing my tulips pop up from the ground and bloom.

  79. Jennyon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:36 pm

    My absolute favorite part of spring is the blooming of all the flowers and trees. I love to see everything turning green and all the other beautiful colors of spring!

  80. Nicoleon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:41 pm

    My favourite part of spring is hard to choose. As a student, I like spring because that’s when the school year ends - it’s not as big an incentive now as it used to be before I needed to work all summer, but it’s still nice to have a change of scene. I also like having fresh homegrown vegetables again (I know a lot of them aren’t ready until summer or fall, but there’s always asparagus and rhubarb).

  81. Joan Bon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:43 pm

    I drove my Mom downtown today (Washington DC0 to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, surrounding the tidal basin and the Jefferson Memorial. Now, that’s my favorite part of spring!!

  82. SmilynStefon 01 Apr 2007 at 3:50 pm

    I love the fabluous feeling of wearing sandals again.

  83. Dana Vitekon 01 Apr 2007 at 4:00 pm

    My very favorite day of spring is the day I notice that the Weeping Willow branches have turned from brown to neon green, before they leaf out or anything. It’s how I know winter is over!

    Love your blog!

  84. Cindy Burkeon 01 Apr 2007 at 4:02 pm

    I look forward to watching the spring bulbs grow and bloom, seeing blossoms on fruit trees and the being able to get outside to work on our garden.

  85. Cheryl Simson 01 Apr 2007 at 4:03 pm

    You betcha I like basic grey, ribbon and primas!!!! My favorite part of spring is when the first leaves show up and they are such a beautiful color of green–so fresh and alive. The smell in the air is even different.
    By the way, I love your blog and admire your work.
    Cheryl

  86. Paige G.on 01 Apr 2007 at 4:13 pm

    I love being able to shed the winter jacket and watch everything magically turn green again.

  87. Linda C.on 01 Apr 2007 at 4:13 pm

    Oooo - what PRETTY treats~ My favorite part of spring is when the first crocus bloom, and then all the other bulbs follow suit and I have a wonderful colors in my yard again!

  88. Bonnie Weisson 01 Apr 2007 at 4:18 pm

    I love watching the Robin’s busy making their new nests for their soon-to-be baby Robin’s. We have several large evergreen trees and the Robin’s love it in there. The trees are so dense and prickly that the cats can’t bother the Robin’s and their babies, so everyone is safe.

    Who doesn’t love Basic Grey, ribbon and Prima’s? !!!

    ~Bonnie Weiss~

  89. Anoukon 01 Apr 2007 at 4:19 pm

    I love the fact that everything starts to bloom, and the smell of freshly mowed grass.

  90. Heather Stevenson 01 Apr 2007 at 4:22 pm

    My favorite part of spring is 100% the flowers. The close second though is that it is warm enough for my kids to go play outside instead of messing up the inside of my house. Yipee!

    Heather S.

  91. Natasha Truppon 01 Apr 2007 at 4:37 pm

    My favorite part of spring is watching the daily progress of our tulips coming up. It’s so neat how much they grow every day!

    What beautiful treats you’ve got here! Have a lovely day!
    Natasha

  92. Linda Carmanon 01 Apr 2007 at 4:49 pm

    What’s not to like about Spring?? I love it all, the flowers just bloomin’, the birds chirpin, the wonderful weather (rain or shine). I love camping in our travel trailer and waking up and hearing all the different sounds.

  93. lois laneon 01 Apr 2007 at 4:51 pm

    My favorite part of spring is the flowers. I love when the flowers start to bloom. It’s like we have been living in black and white and someone finally colored the world. I love it! My very favorite time of the year!!!!

  94. Lynda Kon 01 Apr 2007 at 4:54 pm

    My favorite thing about spring is the new buds forming on the tree and the new sprouts in my perennial garden!
    Congrats on one week of blogging!
    Lynda

  95. Lisa Bon 01 Apr 2007 at 5:06 pm

    Who wouldn’t love Basic Grey, ribbons & primas?!?!?!! How fab-u-lous! I think my favorite part of spring is waking to hear the birds outside, and being able to sit on my deck with a cup of coffee, just enjoying the sights, sounds and the smell of ‘newness’ that spring has!

  96. Tracy Harpon 01 Apr 2007 at 5:18 pm

    Trudee, great goodies! For me it is the smell of rain, dirt and lilac, all wonderful spring smells. Welcome to the blog world!!
    Tracy (Lodichick)

    Basic Grey, ribbon and Prima’s???? Count me in!!!
    My favorite part of spring is being able to open the windows. Hearing the birds sing and seeing the flowers bloom.

  100. Sue Son 01 Apr 2007 at 5:48 pm

    My favourite part of spring is no more SNOW!!! Actually it is the thought of new things……flowers, grass, trees, animals….and lots of long evenings to stamp and scrapbook.

  101. Micheleon 01 Apr 2007 at 6:06 pm

    My favorite part of spring is the rainy days where I can light a candle and make a cup of coffee AND the warm sunny days where I can push my kids out the door to play outside for some peace and quiet!!! :)

  102. Anaon 01 Apr 2007 at 6:09 pm

    My favorite thing about Spring is watching gardens come to life. I love flowers they always cheer me up aside from getting new stamps..hehehe. Love your blog and your work.

  103. Stefanieon 01 Apr 2007 at 6:10 pm

    Hi! I’m a desert dweller so our “Spring” is pretty warm! I do, however, absolutely love the mornings and evenings when it’s cool but not cold. Lots of walks around the neighborhood, BBQs and just generally being outdoors. Have a great day! :)

  104. Susan Hon 01 Apr 2007 at 6:20 pm

    Cool blog. My favorite part of spring is the colors - all the flowers and trees budding and blooming!!

  105. Tanison 01 Apr 2007 at 6:20 pm

    WOWZERS!! Love this prize! Thanks so much!
    My favourite part of spring is NOT the mud (which is what our spring consists of for the first several weeks!).
    But I DO love it when the first perennials start poking their heads out of my garden. Then I know there’s hope for warmer weather!

  106. jodieon 01 Apr 2007 at 6:23 pm

    Thanks for the chance to win some fun treats!

    My favorite part of spring is that the warmer weather allows me to be barefoot!!

  107. Tami M.on 01 Apr 2007 at 6:25 pm

    My favorite part of Spring is seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom!

  108. Donnaon 01 Apr 2007 at 6:32 pm

    I like seeing the perennials come up and I like going flower shopping with my mom.

  109. Jackie Rakoskion 01 Apr 2007 at 6:34 pm

    My favorite part of spring is seeing the flowers bloom and my garden begin to sprout. It makes the season a wonderful time!

  110. Carmenon 01 Apr 2007 at 6:46 pm

    Yeah - I am so glad that you started a blog Trudee! My favorite part of spring is when the snow melts - in northern Canada the snow is around waaaay too long!!

  111. estheron 01 Apr 2007 at 7:11 pm

    Favorite part of early spring…that light green tinge of the willows and the luscious smell of lilacs as they just start to bloom! Congrats on your one week anniversary…here’s to MANY more!

  112. Colleen Manningon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:17 pm

    The best part about Spring is that Winter is OVER!!!!! LOL

  113. Michaelannon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:18 pm

    Two things about spring- everything is new and clean, you can stand in your yard and close your eyes and take a deep breath and smell all the delicous flowers in bloom…you can hang your sheets on the clothes line and they smell awesome at night when you go to bed….I could go on and on…………..love your blog and as always your fantastic artwork!!!

  114. Valon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:20 pm

    Spring Break with my kiddos, 2 weeks of play! Getting my hands dirty planting the vegetable garden for delicious summer homegrown tomatoes!

  115. Michelle Pearsonon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:22 pm

    Just found your blog a few days ago….love your work!
    My favorite time of year is spring….I love that all the ugly brown disappears and fresh, green leaves pop out and grass pops up….and flowers pop up….and the brids start jabbering…I could go on and on too….
    Trudee Treats…how fun! ;)

  116. Kimmieon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:44 pm

    Oh gosh Trudee! I’ve been waitin’ for you to get a blog!! I’m puttin’ you in my faves right now!! Umm…my favourite part about spring is being able to get out and take a TON of outdoor sunny pictures!! My least favourite thing (even though you didn’t ask) is all the rain and MUD!! Yuck!! Congrats on your blog!!

  117. Karenon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:51 pm

    Such beautiful paper! I have enjoyed all your work on SCS. Here in WI, just knowing that winter will end is a gift. I enjoy being able to breathe the air and hike on non-icy trails once again.

  118. Darlene Gabrielon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:59 pm

    My favourite part of Spring is the newness of life. It’s wonderful to see the flowers begin to grow and the grass turn green. I love to be able to get outside for walks after the long winter and just enjoy the fresh air.
    Trudee Treats look awesome - thanks for including us in your celebration.

  119. Susan Schroderon 01 Apr 2007 at 7:59 pm

    So excited to find your blog. I love your stuff!! But my favorite part of spring is the wonderful 70 degree weather, the beautiful flowers and lots of fresh fruits and veggies.

  120. Julie - jeweleintn SCSon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:01 pm

    I love the flowers, warm showers and the smell of fresh cut grass.

  121. Jenniferon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:23 pm

    This sounds silly, but my favorite part of spring is getting my husband back. He plows in the winter so there are times I will not see him for days at a time. Then he needs a couple days toget back to normal. Spring is the light at the end of the tunnel!

  122. stampnthymeon 01 Apr 2007 at 8:42 pm

    Ooooh, I’m so glad to find you have a blog. I love your SCS gallery and your style of creativity. This is gonna be fun, fun, fun. Thanks for sharing your talent. Barb g

  123. Kris Turneron 01 Apr 2007 at 8:52 pm

    Hi! The best part of Spring is that first hint of sunlight rising on the horizon and the birds just waking up. I bundle up, sit on my back patio with a nice hot cup of tea and either read a few chapters in the Bible or simply sit in the quiet of the a.m. to watch the sun move through the trees and watch the leaves gently blowing. I like to think God’s whispering in those quiet moments, telling me He’s made this morning just for me, and my day is off to an amazing start with tons of energy to go! Spring and all its smells and beauty are just the best!

  124. Debi W.on 01 Apr 2007 at 8:54 pm

    My favorite part of spring is hearing the birds spring. I can stand outside while winter and start hearing the birds sing a little bit by little bit. That is how I know spring is coming. When it is finally here the birds are singing up a storm. Plus another favorite part of spring is being outside. I hate winter! I love being outside and love the smell of earth and flowers blooming. Why I ever choose to live in a place that has all 4 seasons. Nothing is more meaningful that being outdoors renewing those feelings of spring!

    Debi

  125. Jeanne Jacobson 01 Apr 2007 at 9:18 pm

    Trudee’s Treats look Tremendously TERRIFIC! ;)
    My favorite part of spring is the emergence of color……all the blooms……all the flowers..ahhhhhhhh
    Jeanne

  126. Tanya Smithon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:26 pm

    What I love about spring is all the colors of the flowers. My husband will drive me around just so that I can see all the colors. I can not have certain types of flowers or plants because of my asthma, so seeing them is the next best thing :)

    Tanya

  127. Dianaon 01 Apr 2007 at 9:44 pm

    SPRING… it means that winter is finally over. I love all the colors and the smell of all the flowers.
    Just discovered your blog this evening. I will be adding it to my favorites. Thank you for sharing.

  128. Angie Warrenon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:01 pm

    I love the fresh scent and beautiful colours of spring!! Love your blog!

  131. Jan Schollon 01 Apr 2007 at 10:47 pm

    My favorite part of spring is that we are that much closer to summer. Also my lilacs will bloom and smell so deelish-if they survived the crappy winter.

  132. Terrion 01 Apr 2007 at 11:00 pm

    Hi Trudee, I live in Texas and my favorite part of Spring is the gorgeous wildflowers, especially the bluebonnets.

  133. Angel R.on 01 Apr 2007 at 11:49 pm

    Yay, Trudee treats! Sounds like a yummy ice cream shoppe or something! Favortie part of spring? All the blooming flowers, which is one thing I miss about leaving in Pa ~ when all my bulbs would pop up!

  134. Elaineon 02 Apr 2007 at 12:17 am

    You are going to have a long long list to pick from Trudeeee!! Favorite part of spring: flowers, longer dayllight hours, the garden, tulips, and a new spring mini catalog! LOL

  135. TerriMion 02 Apr 2007 at 1:05 am

    My favorite part of spring is the colors bursting into bloom! Love the oranges, yellows, greens, pinks, blues, torquoises - just love to have bright happy colors all around me. Something about it lifts me up and makes me sing!!

  136. Julesianaon 02 Apr 2007 at 3:41 am

    My favorite part of spring is watching my kids play outside. It is what kids are meant to do–get dirty, run, jump, investigate nature. To me, it is beautiful!

  137. leslie brownon 02 Apr 2007 at 3:53 am

    I love seeing all of the blooming trees, shrubs and plants. Even though is means more pollen for allergies, I still love the look and smell of spring.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Leslie

  138. Suzyon 02 Apr 2007 at 3:58 am

    Oh my goshhhhh I love Basic Grey! My favorite part of spring is the clear bright blue sky. The most perfect blue ever. We get a perfect sky like that very rarely here. Congrats on your new blog.

  139. Barb Tobiason 02 Apr 2007 at 4:47 am

    Trudee
    Oh my god I love Basic Grey….My favorite part
    of spring are the tulips and daffodils in bloom

    Ilene B

  142. Bethany Paullon 02 Apr 2007 at 5:32 am

    My favorite thing about spring: IT’S WARM!!! By late winter I am so sick of big heavy clothes that you can’t even move around properly while wearing. Your blog candy is gorgeous! It’s even all color coordinated. Well, I’m off to browse thru your blog. Thanks.

  143. Micheleon 02 Apr 2007 at 5:51 am

    I LOVE to watch the trees and flowers bloom (not necessarily good for allergies, but sure are pretty) - LOL!
    Long days of sunshine, playing outside with the babes - my FAVORITE season!

  144. Christine Hauckon 02 Apr 2007 at 5:57 am

    Wow, this is awesome! I love all of those things but admittedly have never used Primas. GASP! I would love to though, so if I don’t get chosen as a lucky participant I will have to go buy some. Hee Hee! :)
    My favorite thing about Spring is all the budding flowers with vibrant colors. It’s as if the earth re-awakens and it is sooooo beautiful.
    Congratulations on your first week of blogging.
    Chris Hauck

  145. Claudia F.on 02 Apr 2007 at 6:08 am

    My favorite part of spring is the sound of the birds in the morning.

    Love your stuff on SCS and so excited you started a blog. Love, love, love Basic Grey - and to match it with ribbon and primas?!?!?!? What great Treats!~
    OK - was so excited about the treats, forgot to leave my favorite part about spring!!!!! I love the first flowers popping up. It means life is renewing itself and just basically puts a smile on your face. OK - think I’m good to go now ; )

  147. Kimberly Trotteron 02 Apr 2007 at 6:39 am

    I love waking up and the birds are singing me a good morning song and the sun is already or just about to shine and I do not have to wait all day to start my day with the sun now. I love spring with all of the new colors- tree blooming and flowers a bloomin’.

  148. Stephanieon 02 Apr 2007 at 6:45 am

    My favorite part of spring is seeing my little girl’s eyes light up when I get out our jackets. She loves to be outside and it was such a cold winter we were mostly indoors. Now we can go for walks together. She is 10 months old.

  149. Marica - mggoldintxon 02 Apr 2007 at 6:49 am

    Congratulations on hitting the one week milestone! :) What a great little treat for blog candy! Well, I would have to say that my favorite part of spring is being able to go outside and play with my kids without having to bundle up! Also, I love when the flowers start blooming and the trees start to fill up with leaves again. Not too hot, not too cold weather… love it!

  150. Veraon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:04 am

    Hey Trudee! Love your blog! My favorite part of Spring is sitting out on my front porch with my dog, Pickles, and watching my kids play on their bikes and scooters in the cul de sac. I just love to sit and take in all of the sounds of the birds and the sights of the flowers!

  151. Ellen Suttonon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:06 am

    I love all of the beautiful flowers that are blooming!!

    Trudee, you have a great blog and I enjoy reading it and seeing your beautiful cards!! I would love to have one of your treats!!

    Hi Trudee,

    I love the new blog - your work is so inspiring, and I love being able to read more about it and about you!

    My favorite part of spring is all of the colors and the change from white and brown to green and pink and yellow and purple and so on. So pretty!

    Megan

  153. Kyla Leanharton 02 Apr 2007 at 7:15 am

    My favorite part of Spring is watching the flowers bloom and watching my kids play Spring soccer…

  154. Lori Kirbyon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:19 am

    My favorite part of spring is being able to open the windows and let the breeze in.

  155. Cathy Whitemanon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:19 am

    My favorite part is most definetly the flowers and especially seeing them poke their little heads up out the dirt. I love that! I also like hearing the birdies chirp more.

  156. Jayne Krohon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:27 am

    I love all the flowers. I live in a place where there are bunches of flowering trees and bushes as well as all the spring bulbs. It’s glorious! Thanks so much for your blog and sharing your talent.

  157. Janet Bon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:38 am

  160. waterchild12 (broni)on 02 Apr 2007 at 8:01 am

    Hey Trudee! My favorite part of spring is all the fresh new green that appears! After the blah greys and browns (and sometimes whites) of winter, I am so ready for the sights and smells of new growth! It make me feel renewed! Thanks for starting a blog! I’m loving it!
    Broni

  161. Isaon 02 Apr 2007 at 8:06 am

    Hey Trudee! My fave part of spring is when flowers starts to blossom! But, what am I saying!!?? I live in SoCal where its almost sunny yearlong. :D

  162. Lisa C.on 02 Apr 2007 at 8:09 am

    so exciting to find your blog, My favorite part of spring is seeing the flowers bloom out, especially my minature roses, they are so pretty!

  163. Toni Whitnellon 02 Apr 2007 at 8:42 am

    Two things I love about spring- first, the warmth. I love just sitting in the sun, like a cat! Andsecond, the greening of the plants. I love to watch the progress of the trees leafing out, and the flowers in my garden coming up from the dirt.

  164. LoriMon 02 Apr 2007 at 8:42 am

    My favorite part of spring is the warmth of the sun on your face and how great that feels after a long cold winter.

  165. Genyon 02 Apr 2007 at 8:42 am

    Wow, wonderful blog candy….I got the link from Belle Papier! My favorite part of spring is that the snow melts and all the flowers start to bloom. I love field of daffodils they are the first flower around here that blooms in springtime. I love your blog!

  166. Sharon in NEon 02 Apr 2007 at 8:44 am

    mmmmm….spring….when I can actually leave the screen door open for the cat to go in and out at his leisure and not have to deal with stinkin’ flies. Okay, I love all that other stuff, don’t get me wrong, I love flowers, the smells, butterflies dancing blahh blah blah, but, I really REALLY, love having the door open and not having to deal with flies…maybe I’m having a Maxine moment, but it’s true.

  167. Selinaon 02 Apr 2007 at 8:48 am

    My favorite part of spring is all the new growth and being able to go outside for the breath of fresh air with out a coat!

  168. lilianon 02 Apr 2007 at 9:40 am

    my favorite part of spring is enjoying all the new blossoms! my mom has a peach tree in her yard is it’s blooming so beautifully!

  169. Sandy Kayon 02 Apr 2007 at 9:43 am

    Love your blog candy - pick me!
    I like spring because I can shed those extra layers of clothing and enjoy the outdoors more and not feel so cooped up!
    Sandy Kay

  170. Joy S.on 02 Apr 2007 at 9:43 am

    My favorite part of spring is simply the nice weather. I love it when I can go outside and feel the warm sunshine on my face and NOT be wearing a coat anymore!!

  171. mcbettyon 02 Apr 2007 at 9:45 am

    Spring — favorite part is the time change.
    It gets dark later.
    Seems like it gives flowers a longer time to bloom.
    Trees are every shade of green.

  172. Melissaon 02 Apr 2007 at 9:45 am

    I really enjoy getting to open a window on the front of the house, and a window on the back and getting a nice, refreshing cross-breeze that isn’t too hot, and isn’t too cold, but yes, you guessed it, is JUST right.

  173. Eleanor Jenkinson 02 Apr 2007 at 9:50 am

    Just love everything about spring! (except the allergies)! — being outside, playing in the garden, seeing all of that luscious green — everything! Your give away is so neat — love Basic Grey. Congratulations on your one week!

  174. Mindyon 02 Apr 2007 at 10:09 am

    Hi there. Congrats on one week of blogging! My favorite thing about spring is the flowers! I love the colors and the smells. Spring just makes me feel happy!

  175. Paton 02 Apr 2007 at 10:20 am

    Love seeing the first buds on the shrubs and trees and seeing the tulips and all the beautiful bulb flowers starting to emerge…and of course, shedding the winter coats. Ahhhh, spring!

  176. Kim Leeon 02 Apr 2007 at 10:35 am

    Trudee, I love your blog and have been a fan of your work since you began posting on Splitcoast. I love Spring because of the warmer temps, the fresh feeling you get when the trees get their small green leaves, and I love all the tulips and daffodils. I just love Spring! Thanks and congratulations on a successful week of blogging!

  177. Sarahon 02 Apr 2007 at 10:57 am

    My favorite things of our short lived spring in Texas are the beautiful wildflowers. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a whole field of bluebonnets. It’s just incredible!
    BTW great new blog!

  178. Cheryl Kon 02 Apr 2007 at 11:03 am

    Oh blog candy. How sweet!

    My favorite spring thing is the babies. The beef calves across the road, the bunnies, the geese getting ready to hatch their babies in the middle of the field, I pray they move them quickly! It is so wonderful!!!

  179. Dawnon 02 Apr 2007 at 11:32 am

    Hi Trudee-Great treats!!
    There are so many things to like about Spring. I think my favorite is the tulips and daffodils that are still working there way out of the earth here in SE Wisconsin. Spring also reminds me that summer’s a comin’ which for our family means “camping time!!” Yeah!!
    Dawn

  180. frannybon 02 Apr 2007 at 11:43 am

    I am so glad you started a blog!

  182. Wendyon 02 Apr 2007 at 12:24 pm

    Happy 1 week anniversary and for sharing with us all! My favorite part of spring is when I can watch my girls explore in the puddles and the mud….the clean up isn’t much fun but they have a blast!

  183. Desi Wilsonon 02 Apr 2007 at 12:38 pm

    One of my favorite parts of Spring; is that everyone seems so happy and cheerful.
    Blog candy looks delicious!!

  184. melody aka lacyquilteron 02 Apr 2007 at 12:54 pm

    Oh, yummy! My daffodils are blooming and I can’t wait for the lilacs. I love Spring.

  185. Crystalon 02 Apr 2007 at 1:06 pm

    My favorite part of spring is having the windows all wide open…nothing better than fresh air swirling through the house. Even if it is full of pollen! Thanks for sharing your goodies. Crystal Nixon

  186. Lisa Silveron 02 Apr 2007 at 1:10 pm

    Hi! I’m so glad you have a blog!!!

    My favorite part of Spring is seeing the bright Forsythia bushes popping out. St. Louis is positively a see of gold right now. We’ve been uncharacteristically warm - so all the trees and blooms have already come out and are nearly spent.

    Thanks,
    Lisa (aka Silvergirl on SCS)

  187. Sheila Powellon 02 Apr 2007 at 1:13 pm

    What I love most about spring is the beautiful colors in the trees and the flowers and the fact that my grandkids can finally go outside and enjoy the warmer weather! Thanks for sharing your Blog–I love it and all your wonderful creations–so talented!!

  188. Nicole Seitleron 02 Apr 2007 at 2:14 pm

    Flowers, flowers, and more flowers! ;)

  189. Alisonon 02 Apr 2007 at 2:25 pm

    My favorite part of spring is listening to all of the birds chirp. I also look foward to planting flowers. Love the blog candy!

  190. Lisaon 02 Apr 2007 at 2:40 pm

    Gosh a whole week? WOWOW time sure flies when you’re having fun - right? right!
    My favorite part of Spring would have to be the desert trees start to look like trees and not these sticks poking up out of the ground! Yeah, you get the picture, a bunch of brown ugly sticks…just hanging out of the dirt, when finally spring comes and they burst to life with yellow (aaachhhooo) flowers on them!

  191. Rosellaon 02 Apr 2007 at 2:46 pm

    What great treats! Love that paper, would love to have it!
    My favorite thing about spring is to see all the gorgeous colors that seem to pop up everywhere, and all the different shades of green that pop up in the different trees. In the summer they all seem to be the same shade of green, the warmer air (although today we woke up to snow. Who would have expected? LOL!)

  192. Jillon 02 Apr 2007 at 2:50 pm

    I love every part of Spring–it’s my favorite season. I love the flowers, the new leaves and grass, the warmer weather, Easter–you name it, but maybe my favorite part is that my birthday is in the Spring! Lucky me, right?!

  193. Angie ~ SCS Duckwaddlequackon 02 Apr 2007 at 3:04 pm

    FLOWERS, FLOWERS, FLOWER!!! I’m totally a flower girl! Love all the gorgeous colors and blooms!!
    So glad you started a blog! And it must be candy week, I’m doing some too! :)

  194. k. martinsenon 02 Apr 2007 at 3:15 pm

    We live on a hill overlooking a river…..there are many trees along the rivers edge……..we know it is a sure sign of spring when the leaves start to bud……first we see a light green haze amongst the trees…….as the days pass, it deepens in intensity ’til the trees are all leafed out. It is a beautiful process experiencing Mother Nature bring spring to our little part of the world.

  195. maraon 02 Apr 2007 at 5:04 pm

    Great candy!
    My favorite part of Spring is the smells and all the pretty flowers beginning to grow.

  196. Juanita Davison 02 Apr 2007 at 5:33 pm

    Trudee, you are a treat just to have you around!!!!! And your blog is addictive!
    My favorite part of spring is that I can be outside without the mosquitos biting me in the spring. I swear in just a little while, they will be chasing me from the moment I jump out of the car until I run in and shut the door!!!!!!!!! They even single me out when they get in the house. So I like to take advantage of spring when they are not around.
    Happy 1st week anniversary!

    What I love most about Spring is the smell of the earth and the freshness in the air. I love the blue skies, the puffy clouds floating across the sky, the grass as it starts to green-up. I love the new beginning and feel inspired to be a better person. I’m going to link your blog to mine, so please stop by for a visit at http://barbscardcreations.blogspot.com/ . Love to see you there.

    I’m itching to plant stuff outside. Flowers, veggies, etc! But I’m waiting until I’m SURE we are done with snow. Last year, I planted too early & the snow killed my herb garden. :( But my bulbs are coming up now & that makes me HAPPY!

  201. Lenitaon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:12 pm

    My favorite thing about Spring is the smells but the sites run a close second….I just love a fresh rain or the grass freshly cut….
    And by the way, I LOVE Basic Grey….lol

    Thanks Trudee, love your blog!

  202. avonleaon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:15 pm

    Oh, yeah, those Basic Grey pads are gross! Can I pick something else if I win! ;-) Woo hoo! Glad you’re having fun blogging! One of my favourite things about Spring is the smell in the air…the snow melting, the rain falling, the earth being reborn. And I looooove the first signs of my daffodils, crocuses and tulips! =)
    Thanks for this chance at Trudee Treats!

  203. lilstamperalexon 02 Apr 2007 at 7:22 pm

  208. mybearybeston 02 Apr 2007 at 9:33 pm

    My favorite part of spring is the trees budding and the flowers blooming. I love watching nature come back to life after winter’s end. :)

  209. marcieon 02 Apr 2007 at 10:27 pm

    We don’t have a huge change in the weather here so my favorite part of spring is seeing all the flowers in bloom - so much color - you can’t help but feel good when you see them. Thanks!

  210. Beulahon 03 Apr 2007 at 4:22 am

    Trudee Treats…WOW
    My favorite part of spring is that everything turns green and looks fresh and new, warm shushine to sit in and daylight savings time!

  211. Nancy Clarkon 03 Apr 2007 at 4:50 am

    My favorite part of spring is being able to hang sheets out on the clothes liine to dry. There is nothing like getting into bed with fresh sheets right off the line!

    Nancy

  212. Samon 03 Apr 2007 at 5:17 am

    Wow…how generous??!! Congrats on your first week too ;o) Blogging regularily can be hard…always trying to find either something to say or something made to post..and then wondering whether anyone reads it!

    But my favourite parts of spring…the smell of spring coming in through the now open windows, line dried washing rather than clothes hanging round the house, sowing seeds and potting on, having the dogs in the garden with me rather than peering at me through the patio door!!

    ~ Sam

  213. Karen in Torontoon 03 Apr 2007 at 5:46 am

    WOW ~ over 200 comments already!! I love to see the new leaves on trees in Spring. And I really like being able to go outside with far less layers…makes me feel freer!

  214. Crison 03 Apr 2007 at 6:31 am

    What a great giveaway, we can’t even get those 6X6 pads around here! Anyways, the best part of spring is opening up the windows again, coming home and it’s still light out, and the birds waking me up in the morning insead of the alarm clock!

  215. janetwmarkson 03 Apr 2007 at 7:13 am

    favorite part of Spring? the pollen. ….. April Fools! belated. I love the birds, dogwood blossoms, azaleas blooming, and GREEN! Awesome Blog and I love your tree card!!!! janet in NC

  216. Amandaon 03 Apr 2007 at 7:30 am

    Great job on the blog - its hard to believe its only a week old!!! Lets see - my favorite thing about Spring…the pollen. I just love going outside, taking a deep breath, and sucking in a lung full of yellow dust. Kidding!! In Alabama, pollen and Spring go hand in hand. What I do love about Spring is the colors - green trees - pink & purple flowers - blue skies! Thanks for the chance!!!

  217. buzzyon 03 Apr 2007 at 9:05 am

    Ah…even the thought of spring makes me happy! Spring means color! Flowers everywhere…here in the Pacific Northwest we have an abundance of long lasting blooms. The daffodils and crocus…then the tulips and rhododendrons, the lilacs…I love them all!

  218. aldona fischeron 03 Apr 2007 at 9:16 am

    Living in rainy WA state….my favorite part about spring is being able to take the kids OUTSIDE to play! :) I also love the flowers blooming!

  224. Lindsi Dawnon 03 Apr 2007 at 12:45 pm

    What a great prize! My favorite, favorite thing about spring is not having sooooo much laundry to do! LOL! I think it drops to a third of what I have to do in the winter. After that there is camping and being able to leaving the windows at home open for fresh air!

  225. Allyon 03 Apr 2007 at 1:04 pm

    I love your new blog Trudee, I’ll be an avid reader and my favorite part of Sprin, the first sight of little snowdrops and daffodils poking their way through the earth and you know Spring is on its way.

    My favorite part of Spring around our home is the birth of our calves. It so fun to watch them romping around the pasture.

  233. Kellyon 03 Apr 2007 at 7:01 pm

    My favorite part of spring is seeing all of the flowers starting to bloom!

  234. Mary Campbellon 03 Apr 2007 at 7:43 pm

    My favorite part of spring is watching the world come alive again. The sky is the bluest, the greens are the greenest, the birds sing louder and I love to hear the frogs at night. Spring is my favorite time of year and I get out and enjoy it all that I can.

  235. Sherylon 03 Apr 2007 at 9:46 pm

    My favorite part of spring is seeing the grass go from brown to green, and watching the tiny buds on trees turn to freshly sprouted leaves. I love watching the trees go from bare branches to fully-leaved in about 2 weeks (in this part of the country). The warm evenings and longer hours of sunlight are very uplifting!

  236. Dawn Griffithon 04 Apr 2007 at 3:18 am

    Hi Trudee : Love your treats girlie .. and Love your blog .. so happy you got one of your very own
    ( finally )

  238. Melissaon 04 Apr 2007 at 5:24 am

    I love the smell of spring rain showers.

  239. Jennie Harperon 04 Apr 2007 at 5:36 am

    I love Basic Grey products…but what I most love about spring is all of the fresh new green color on the trees as the trees get their new leaves. It is so fresh looking and a start to a new growing season.
    Great blog candy….I would love it if it came to my stamp room!!!!
    Jennie H.

  240. Lauraon 04 Apr 2007 at 5:49 am

    Love the beautiful flowers that spring brings! Also love, love, love basic grey papers!

  241. Jana M.on 04 Apr 2007 at 5:49 am

    Springtime (when if finally happens) here in Alaska is AMAZING!!! Kodiak isn’t called the Emerald Isle for nothing. Everything is so green and fresh. The Eagles are out in the hundreds. The days are getting longer. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to live here.

  242. Shirleyon 04 Apr 2007 at 6:14 am

    Ooooh, those Trudee treats sounds wonderful.
    My favorite part of spring is to see the tulips, hyacinths. bradford pear trees and dogwoods all blooming so beautifully.

  243. Lauraon 04 Apr 2007 at 7:05 am

    I just love when the grass changes from dry and crackly to lush and green, although that means it’s times to mow, but it’s still pretty :) Love your blog!

  244. Margoon 04 Apr 2007 at 8:22 am

    My favorite part about spring is picking strawberries with my children and seeing if they can get more in the basket than in themselves.

  245. Jeanine Eckerton 04 Apr 2007 at 10:33 am

    My favorite part of Spring is Daylight Savings Time- love when it stays light out into the early evening so the kids can play outside! Great job on the blog!

  246. tmarie (Tami McBeain)on 04 Apr 2007 at 10:53 am

    I’m so happy your blogging now, I love your stuff! My favorite thing about spring is being able to open the windows after the long winter and let the sweet fresh air in!

  247. Kathy Manningon 04 Apr 2007 at 11:22 am

    My favorite part of spring is watching everything come back to life after wiinter. I love watching the flowers bloom. I also love being able to open up the windows and not having to use the air conditioner or the heater.

  248. Kim Littlejohnon 04 Apr 2007 at 12:20 pm

    I know spring has arrived upon the reappearance of the frogs from hibernation in my backyard pond. I love the sight of them sitting in the plants and hearing them at night.
    I also love your designs. You are an inspiration.

  249. Katharineon 04 Apr 2007 at 12:25 pm

    I wish we were able to buy candy like that here in Canada but *sigh* oh well means another run to the border.

    My favourite thing about spring is colours, colours, and more colours. Whether scrapping scenic photos with plants/flowers in bloom or pics of the kids the colours are just so eye catching and leaves so many possibilities to work with. Oh yeah and I don’t have to put my puppy’s coat on her anymore (if you ever thought bundling up kids is bad try putting a coat on a puppy!!!)

  250. Amy M.on 04 Apr 2007 at 1:00 pm

    Fun Treats! I love tulips, baby chicks and ducks, as well as new little lambs. Of course my favorite thing about spring will be celebrating my daughter’s birthday. She will be a year old two weeks from today.
