HELLO spring!

i don't know about you, but i'm tired of winter. very tired. so i got the itchin for some color. something that screamed {in a very polite, but firm way} Spring! to hopefully give Mother Nature the nudge. do you think these felt flowers did the trick? i kinda think so. well, at least it made me feel better!
 
 
anyone else as ready for spring as i am?

  16. what brings me luck? well my kids and husband. i swear i haven had so many blessings/happiness/learning experiences.
    what else brings me luck? when they go back on track and i have quiet.

  17. Cute wreath! What brings me luck is having faith and believing in miracles. But wait, I guess that is not luck at all is it. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Love, love, love this! And it looks just simple enough that maybe I could attempt it!

    What brings me luck? Definitely my 3 year old, Aaron. I don't know if its because he's so stinkin' cute or what (he has the cutest curly hair and is so smart and funny!), but whenever we go out together, I always get the best deals, great parking spot, etc. We even stopped for fast food the other night and the girl gave him a free toy because he was flirting up a storm with her! Its the little things that make me happy, lol.

  20. Hello Spring! Love the wreath, just adorable.
    Luck comes to me if I wave my arms while jumping on one leg, laughing all silly like making my teens roll their eyes at their 'old' mom acting 'crazy'! ;-)
    Seriously, I truly feel God blesses me richly each day in the form of His riches. Luck comes by doing for others. I always know when I 'need' something ...it returns and as promised 10 fold.

  21. I think my little sisters bring me "GOOD LUCK" they mean the world to me and whenever I am with them I seem to have the best time of my life. I NEVER go shopping without them, I always find the best stuff when they are with me. Plus they make my heart smile :)

  22. Love the wreath!! What brings me luck is picking up those pennies on the ground. My mom used to say
    Penny, Penny bring me luck
    cause I'm the one who picked you up

  23. I love love LOVE the wreath!!! What brings me luck... When I start my mornings dancing to Beyonce I always have great days! :) Maybe she brings me luck and I didn't know it! :)

  24. I love the wreath!!! I have bottles of buttons that I can finally use now!!!

    Ever since I had my twin boys a few months ago, I feel like the luckiest gal around. So, I guess my sons make me lucky!!!

  25. linda, i love you!!! i love all your ideas, it has made this bedrest bare-able! so thanks!

    i would have to say luck is attitude/perspective. if you try you can find good and 'the upside' in EVERYTHING! and i try to remember that.

  26. what brings me luck? a particular shade of lip gloss...i save it for when i need to feel extra confident! scored me a husband and a promotion so I'd say it works!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hello. Great wreath. Let's see what brings me luck? Well I haven't found anything yet to bring me luck because I never get lucky lol. I did win one of those fake jewerly bracelet they held in Kmart once. I thought it was cool and I was really lucky until I walked out of the store and it just broke and fell apart haha. So maybe just maybe a cute green zipper clover will turn my luck around? lol

  31. I love this wreath, super cute!
    What brings me luck? Good question!I definitely feel like the luckiest girl in the world when my hubby looks at me like no one else exists. I also feel like the luckiest girl when I get those sweet and unexpected "I Love you mommy" from my little girls! SO I guess my good luck charm would be my family,although facebook and blogs are a close second! Maybe someday I will actually win something, until then it's fun to think about how lucky I could be in that respect!

  32. I love this wreath!

    What brings me luck is "me". It seems if I am sad and having the blues EVERYTHING goes wrong, but when I am happy, things fall into place and I seem to be lucky. I mean who wouldn't be lucky enough to be a SAHM with 3 great kids and a hubby who loves to work so I can do all my craftiness at home while the kids play :)

  34. That wreath is cute! Love the button centers on the flowers!

    I have a lucky pair of shoes... I wear them to feel cute and comfy and it makes me feel happy (and lucky)!

  35. ok- i dont want that to be confusing, so since i have been on restricted activity/bedrest- i could complain about all i am not getting done household wise.... like the cleaning and the cooking and the maitence stuff, but i look at it as i am lucky i am not allowed to vacuum, because now i can play with my kids and spend more time with them, and i can also develop talents that i have been wanting to but felt guilty from doing them instead of cleaning and cooking and stuff like that.
    does that make sense?

  36. my cute kids bring me luck.
    love the wreath and all your cute ideas!

  37. Love it! I have never been as lucky as I am now that I have 2 little kids. I feel God blesses us all the time. My husband is in heating and cooling and when everyone else gets sent home he gets overtime. We stopped using credit, and we seem to have more money. If we need something, it just seems to fall into our hands. We were living in a trailer when I had my first baby. He never had a crib, he just slept in his swing. When I was pregnant with my daughter I tried so hard to find crib bedding that we could afford. NOTHING. Then one day on Craigslist I found a whole Wendy Bellismo Vintage Teaberry set for 50 dollars! The whole crib set, window valence, picture, and even a brand new diaper bag. The picture alone sells on Ebay for 100! The set can get up $500 and I got it for 50 from a woman who tried to sell it 2 years ago and decided to try again. I started crying when we picked it up because I just felt so blessed! My kids make me an extremely lucky Momma! Jami

  38. This wreath is FABULOUS!! I ♥ it! My girls will love making it too!

    What brings me luck is just as simple as believing in luck in the first place! I have always said that I am the luckiest person I know and I truly believe it. It all has to do with attitude and belief - just like fairies. Faith, trust and a little bit of pixie dust! :)

  39. Good luck and a little bit of divine providence occurs whenever I'm on VACATION! For our honeymoon we went to Ireland and ended up running into people who helped hook us up with our living Irish relatives!!! It was the neatest experience of my life! Good luck on the Emerald Isle! That's my kinda vacation!

  40. Love your inspiration.
    What brings me luck is the number '18'.
    I was born on the 18th, lived at street address 18, Unit 18. Airplanes I find myself in seat 18. I exit off the Hwy at 18. My camera f-stop 18. When I see it, I smile and it makes me feel lucky.

    Happy Spring,
    Kim

  41. Hello Spring!! Somedays I'm not so sure I have much luck, I never win any of the millions of things I enter but as long as I have my health and my family I'm the luckiest girl in the world!!

  42. I believe I am lucky because of my surroundings- meaning my husband and kids- not just them but my faith, and I believe a lil in car-ma- what goes around comes around- if you are a good person and do good things and do it with prayer- you become a lucky person. I have been lucky to be born in a free country to a religious family and lucky to marry an amazing man and have two amazing girls.! I believe with prayer and divine help if you are a good person you become a lucky person.

  44. Spring is already here for me - that is one of the perks of living on a tropical island!
    If I had to pick something that brought me luck it would be my flowered Dr. Martens. I have owned them for about 13 years and good things always seem to happen when I am wearing them.
    I love the wreath!

  45. I feel lucky/blessed because my dear husband has a job that affords me the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom, which I have been for the last 9 years. I feel lucky/blessed that I have two wonderful children. I feel the most lucky when I think back on how my son's life started out. He was in the NICU and we weren't sure of what the outcome was going to be, but through it all he is healthy and happy and that makes me feel like the luckiest person on earth.

  46. I LOVE this wreath! I have been thinking I needed something spring for my front door. Now this is on my list of things to make. Thanks!

  48. That is one of the most adorable spring wreaths I have ever seen!

    ReplyDelete
  49. That is a lovely wreath.

    Ahh luck. Oddly enough, Good luck comes for me after a dose of bad luck. Like this week for example, (FYI, I am 8 months pregnant), I tried reading to my 2 little boys on Wednesday night before my husband got home from class. My hip locked up and I got stuck that way for an hour (until hubby came home). Way bad luck, hurting a LOT. Next day, good luck came in the form of "let's go out to dinner tonight." (I have an awesome husband). I think we need the bad times in order to recognize the good ones.

  54. That is so cute, I'm very inspired for spring! What brings me luck is to always have a great attitude and a big smile! It really does go a long long way! Have you ever noticed when ur in a foul mood everything just seems to get worse? But, who can be mean to a smile? Happiness just floods in and creates the whole pay it forward affect. Not a bad way to start out the springtime season!
    p.s. I love love love ur blog! You are so creative and talented. I check ur tutorials so often for inspiring ideas, I'm in the middle of the zipper daisy as we speak!

  55. Darling! I love it!

    What brings me good luck is my 16 month old twin girls smiles. It makes me smile and changes my whole day and turns bad situations into good. Those two smiles are priceless and can make anything better- and trust me I have alot going on that I rely on those smiles for. But they work! They are my good luck!

  56. It is so cute and springy! Yeah, I'm sick of winter too and I live somewhere the sun shines year round, but this year we've had so much rain and gray skies. Blah!!

    What brings me luck? I don't know if I have a lucky charm or a specific ritual that brings me luck, but I know I am lucky because I have a hubby who loves me (and is pretty cute too!), I have beautiful kids, a house, great friends. What makes it so, I dont' know. I guess love is my luck!!!! That and blessings from above!

    ReplyDelete
  57. OMGosh! That is awesome!! Way better than a Christmas wreath (not that I don't like them, but I am all about color!)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow, what an adorable wreath! I love the idea. It would be cute with grosgrain ribbon as well. Thanks for the idea, I can't wait to make one!
