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.

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.
