So I am sure you thought I had forgotten about blogging and my blog candy giveaway. Well after long days on the computer typing I truly have not had the energy to do much more. I have pulled it together tonight to share a little SPRING with you in the form of blog candy.
In order to win these goodies, leave me a note and tell me what you love most about Spring.
Here are the goodies: Prima flowers, stitched ribbon, Spring Moss ink by PTI, some yummy spring patterned papers, some die cuts, a stencil and this cute baby chick.
Have a super day. I have a card to share this weekend so I will post it on Sunday along with the winner of this blog candy and then I promise to be back to my regular scheduled posts. I had hoped to be further along but I had a complex report card that took a little longer than I had hoped.

I love spring because it's warm enough to break out my more warm-weather wardrobe which tends to be a lot more colorful than the cold-weather clothes. Thanks for the giveaway!
What I love most is seeing the tulips and hyacinths blooming after a long winter.
In central Texas I love seeing the wildflowers, especially the bluebonnets, popping up. They just say SPRING to me!
I love the spring because it makes me think of new life and also to focus on the Life that was sacrificed for me.
I love Spring because of all the flowers that start to bloom! It is so beautiful!
Spring maks me think of new beginnings. I love to see all the trees & flowers blooming & know that Easter is right around the corner. Easter is a new beginning to me because of the death, burial & resurrection of my Lord, Jesus! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Yummy Blog goodness....thanks for a change to win and good luck on the rest of the report cards!
Warm weather. It's been here, and it will be back, but there is snow on my pretty little yellow flowers in the backyard. (I totally sympathize with the report cards. I just retired after 37 years of IEPs and report cards. There was never an elementary school reporting system that did not take a lot of time and effort. There are a few things I miss, report cards are not one of them.)
I love to garden. I'm especially excited about this spring since my hubby and I just bought our first house! This year I'll have my very own garden for the first time! :)
Good luck on the rest of your report cards Alli!! I just love to shed the winter coats and spend more time outside with the kids after our long Canadian winters!! Thanks for the chance to win some spring (even if we're not quite there yet here in Ontario!).
Oooo, what a bundle of goodness! I love the promise of new life that comes with Spring. Buds on the trees, the grass greening up, bulbs bursting through the ground, birds chirping and my hummingbirds coming back to the feeded! (My family refers to this as 'Karen's World', but frankly I like it there!
I love spring because nature begins anew...everything seems so fresh and beautiful. A new beginning. Thanks for your generous spirit with the blog candy!
I love the freshness of spring. It's like starting "new"! And, the warm weather after a long winter is pretty darn nice, too!!! Happy Spring!
I can't wait to wear flip-flops!!!!!! (yes it needed that many '!' I'm just that excited).
I love spring because everything starts new again. The days are longer and we get to be out so much more just love the tulips sprouting up. I hope I win I have been searchign in my area for that cute little chick stamp
I love the invigorating sunshine!
Well today is the first day of spring - I wish Mother Nature knew that! My favorite thing about spring, hard to pick one so I won't... I love white tulips, lilacs and having my doors and windows open for some fresh air!
What do I love about Spring? Flowers, flowers, flowers! Thanks for the chance to win -- and good luck with your remaining report cards.
I love getting outside with my 2 year old. He's learning how to ride a tricycle...unbelieveably cute!!
Happy Spring!! And best of luck finishing up the report cards - you must feel such a sense of accomplishment after it's all done!!
What I love best about Spring is -- the warmer weather and shedding the coats and sweaters that I'm usually sick of by the end of the winter season!!
My 2 favorite things about spring are listening to the birds sing and waiting for the daffodils to pop their bright little selves out of the ground! It is a season filled with such promise and delight!
I love how everything comes alive and also the smell of fresh cut grass!
It's a good life!
Terri E.
thanks for the chance Alli, I like spring because we have more sunshine, nothing worse that going to work in the dark and coming hoem in the dark!!
i love spring flowers! Everything looks fresh and new.
Have a great day!
Hope the rest of your report cards go quickly and painlessly. I love Spring because I can run outdoors again without being all bundled up. I also love wearing flip-flops. Thanks for offering such great candy!
I love spring because it is the END of the WINTER! :)
My favorite part of spring is seeing the perennials in my garden come to life. I check on them everyday! :)
I love Spring because, I now that the days will be getting longer, flowers start to bloom, and the mountains start turning green. I LOVE SPRING!! :)
My favorite thing about Spring is all the sweet flowers that peek up to say hello....the crocus', daffodils and tulips. I love the colors and the happy signs of saying goodbye to winter.
Chris
I love being able to let the kids outside without having to bundle them up so tightly! And seeing robins coming back to our yard! And Easter dresses, too! There's so much to love about spring after long hard winters!
I love spring because it means the snow starts to melt! No more freezing cold days (yeah right!).
I can't wait for stuff to turn from brown to green!
I love feeling the sun warm my face.
I love everything about spring! I love the little bits of color here and there amidst the brown grass. I love the new leaf color! I think it is my favorite green color! I love that each day is fresh and new! I just love spring! Cathy
I love spring when the sun is shining bright and snow is melting. I like hearing all the birds chirping and the buds on the trees. It is like a new beginning.
My favorite thing about spring is being able to sleep with the windows open and hearing the birds chirping outside in the morning. :) I love spring!
I love the smells, being able to dry my bedding out on the line.. then my whole bedroom smells fresh like outdoors! And the anticipation of my roses blooming, and their magnificent fragrances. All roses are pretty, but I buy them specifically for fragrance. Then I fill my house with them, and sniff them each time I walk by them!
I LOVE color of every sort, so each winter I look forward to the first sign of spring, the brilliant yellow forsythia blossoms, and then the flowering fruit trees. Our town is all dressed up in yellow, pink, white and spring green right now. Glorious!
Hey Ali - thanks for the opportunity to win such a great giveaway. I love EVERYTHING about spring, the flowers, the colors, new baby animals, weather (even the rain), etc. It's just the joy of getting back outside and being able to enjoy what God has provided us.
I love spring because the new flowers are coming up, which mine are! But would you believe it I woke up to snow on the ground this morning. hope those babies make it out alive!
I love spring because of the beautiful weather we have...not too cold and not too hot...just right! I also love all the flowers that start to bloom, so very pretty! :D
Thanks for the chance to win some awesome blog candy! :D
I love springs because start new colors, and in spring i'll start new project!!!

(no blog candy for me, please! I am on a diet:))
Just wanted to say hi! So good to see you bloggin'!
What i love about spring.. longer days, more sunshine and saying 'see ya' to Winter!
I am not a Winter girl...
I just love spring flowers. Nothing better.I just love that pretty green ribbon. Thanks for the chance to win.
Your goodies look so Spring. I like seeing everything budding out and beginning their new growth.
Swedie
I love spring for its flowers, warmer weather and fresh scent in the air. What great blog candy! Thanks for sharing all you do. I have fun looking at your creations. Good luck with the report cards!
M. Hunter
My flower beds are starting to show the first signs of green and I'm super excited. I love watching everything spring back through the ground!!
I love watching the daffodils and tulips show a bit more green each day, and then the beautiful flowers opening. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects and for the chance to win. I hope all those carefully done report cards are greatly appreciated!
I love watching the snow go away.
I love the change in the energy and the change in the smells of nature. It is such a renewing time! Here in MN it always seems to arrive at the exact moment when we think we cannot take winter for even one moment longer!
I love the freshness of Spring. Last night while taking the dog out before bed I had the family come outside to enjoy the fresh flower fragrance laden breeze. It was so wonderful - I just wish the windows in my house opened! I would have had all of them open so that lovely night-blooming jasmine and alyssium and agapantha fragrance could fill the house. It won't be long (a week or two) before the temperature will be in the 90's (F) here so all of that will be gone. I am enjoying it for the few days it is here.
Happy First Day of Spring!
I love spring because you can take the kids to the park after supper and still see them!
Love your blog.
The smell in the air, wearing lighter clothing, the rain, the green...can you tell I LOVE spring?
Things in your blog candy is what I love about Spring!! My favorite flower is the Tulip! Thanks for the chance to win your blog candy!
I live in the upper Midwest so the COLORS of Spring are always welcome. By this time of year I've had enough of white, grey and now muck. Green grass and flowers are a beautiful sight! Plus, my kitties LOVE all the birds that come to visit the bird feeders.
Cat Spicer
It's the SMELL and there's totally a FEELING in the air at the start of spring. And who could beat spending more time outside (when you've been surrounded by snow all winter)?? Thanks, Alli.
I live in a temperate region so our season changes are not overly dramatic. I love watching the plants awake from their slumber and finding the subtle changes that signal the changing seasons.
I love watching the tulips, crocuses, and Irises coming up in our yard. What I hate is washing all of the mud off of my dog's feet everytime he comes in from outside! But the warm weather and flowers make up for it! Thanks for the chance to win!
Nicole Leger
My favorite things about spring are the beautiful lilacs and tulips blooming in the yard, and longer and occasionally sunny days. There's such a feeling of hope and anticipation as spring approaches, and I do believe it's my favorite season of the year.
My word, this is a great giveaway. I love it all. Growing up in Southern California, I never thought much of spring. Then I moved to Alaska with my husband. In Alaska everyone mostly hybernates in the winter so when spring comes the flowers bloom, the grass turns green, the sun shines, and the people come out and play. I love the friendships you gain just walking out your front door on a warm spring day. I miss being in Alaska.
What a cool concept, the on-line school I mean. I would love to find out more about that (as a teacher)
We live in MD and I love when the Cherry Blossoms open up. I love to go to D.C. and see them all.
What I love about spring..........
waiting for the trees to bud, seeing my tulips pop up and hoping they won't freeze, turning down the heat, the color green again, more soft pastel colors.
thanks much
After the dead of winter, I love to watch my garden come back to life!
My favorite thing about spring is that my daughter comes home for Spring Break because when she is away at college I miss her. A close second...I like Easter candy too!
My favorite things about spring (I have two). I love all the flowers in bloom and also hearing all the birds chirping.
My favorite things about SPRING:
green grass
warm breezes
pink dogwoods
and watching tulips and daffodils
pop-up!
I think your candy is a good reason why I love about spring... the colours!!! Plus it's not too hot and not too cold =) Good luck with the report cards and keep up the amazing work with the crafts!
I like that I don't have to scrape the frost off my windshield in the morning (I hate scraping my windshield and I have no garage!)
my favorite thing about spring is blooming daffodils...well needed after a long dark winter!
Hurray for SUNLIGHT! I love that the sun doesn't set before I get home from work.
I love the sunlight on my face.
And as a gardiene(i hope this is the wright word: I look after children while there parants are at work), i love to see there brilliant faces as they enjoy the sun too! Ther facination of a flower that's sprouting out!
Thats spring in my hart!
What is there not to love about the Spring....the sun, longer days, the re-birth of all the flowers and trees, wearing flip flops!!! I love everything...
I love everything about spring, the smells, colours and spirit!
New life and growth! Welcome Spring!!! Thanks you, gorgeous goodies, Kim
I love spring time because of the warm weather and also the flowers coming up at different times of the season, i love flowers!!!
I love the crocuses and tulips that start popping up and everything turning green again.
The first day of spring is my birthday! It's always a great way to start such a wonderful season!
The best part of spring has to be the weather!! :) The weather makes everything looks much more beautiful!!!!!
I love Spring because it means the end of Winter and that warm weather is near. I love all the flowers that bloom and the grass turning green.
I LOVE THE COLORES AND WHEN THE PRETTY FLOWERS ARE COMMMING OUT
Spring is my all time favorite time of year! Although here in Miami we really do not have seasons per se. I just love Springtime weather with (usually) mld non humid days.
I am right there with you, woman! I taught for several years at a local university and spent HOURS commenting on my students' projects. I am sure that your students will appreciate your comments! What do I love about spring? SUNSHINE! It is so wonderful to be able to drive to work in sun, and come home in sun! In the winter it just always feels so dark!!!!! Love the fact that now there is light to take the dog for those early morning, pre-work walks!
FLOWERS!!! Well, that and leaving my jacket in the house!
Opening the windows!!! I love the fresh breeze and the weather is not too hot.
Thanks
Kisha
I just love the feeling of renewed motivation that comes with the arrival of Spring. And I love being able to open my windows and let the breeze in!
Love seeing the grass go from dead brown to lush green! And the Hyacinths are to die for!
I love the freshness of the air and the green of the plants!
C. Burke
Spring is the time of year I can get out in my garden and start having some fun planting.
Sounds like you need a spring break!!! Thanks for the chance to win such cute blog candy.
What I love about spring is that in the morning the sun sets earlier. And stays light longer in the evening. I love the birds singing and the flowers are growing. Love how tulips grow and how planted seeds are finding their way growing up.
I wondered where you had been. Glad to here all is well. Thanks for the chance at the great blog candy. Sounds like you have your hands full with all the hours your putting in on your report cards.
The things I love about Spring are the overwhelming loving feelings I have again for all the little things! The baby chicks, first flowers, the baby calfs and foals out in the fields. All of it warms my heart and renews me with the hope and wonderful feelings I have for the year ahead. It's like a childs wonder....renewed in an old body! LOL.... You can feel it really. Even Love is in the air. New or Renewed each Spring, I Love It. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cynde
Here in upstate New York I love it when the snow finally starts melting. This is usually accompanied by chirping birds and some sunny days. It motivates me to start some 'spring cleaning' and totally refresh.
Thanks for the blog candy offering.
Teresa
I welcome Spring after a long and cold winter. What I love most about Spring is watching nature rise out of the ground....especially all the tulips popping up. I am also so grateful for Spring as I can be outside more with all my little daycare children.
I love the smell of Spring in the air. Nothing else is quite like the earthy smell! Thanks for the chance!
I love spring just because of the new blooms and the promise of new growth. I love being able to get outside and plant flowers. There is nothing more pretty to me than a yard full of flowers.
I can understand what you are going through. I am a teacher in a Private School. I spent my last week, before Spring Break, 'nagging' students to turn in missed work {ugh!} so that I could have my grades posted B4 going on break.
Spring is wonderful. My favorite part of Spring is seeing my daffodils bloom! I love these flowers in all varieties! I am especially fond of the yellow, ordinary, standard kind. They just 'shout' Spring!
Thank you, Marilyn {crossing fingers to win}
I love spring because plants begin to bloom and nice to see colours again after the winter season...
14 hours Alli! Wowsers! Hope your report cards are coming along!
As far Spring goes, I watching the surrounding areas come alive with green! New grass, new leaves! Love it!
Love the brightness-the sunniness, the beautiful colorful flowers blooming and the smell of lilacs and fresh cut grass...can you tell Spring is one of my favorite seasons! Thanks for the chance for this yummy colorful blog candy.
Bulbs! Especially DAFFODILS! They are so bright a cheery. The better, milder weather, soft green, tender new grass. WELCOME SPRING!!!!
I love the weather and the spring
blooms! Thanks for a chance to win.
what i love most about spring is being able to be outdoors more, taking walks, golfing etc.
Spring comes late here in NS but I get all happy when I see the daffodils in the store. All closed up tight just waiting to open up in a warm house.
Mud season, the sweet smell of the fields being readied for the farm crops - I know, some people think that smell isn't so sweet, but...it all leads to precious little flowers and goos fresh food to eat during the outdoor summer months, so who can complain?
I love this time of new beginnings and the creativity it stirs up. Happy Spring!
I love the smells of spring. Getting to get outside and walk, all the smells of newness is intoxicating. Knowing that the trees are starting to bud, the green is poking out of the ground, OHH, bring it on! Barb W
I love seeing the blossoms on the trees and the flowers popping up everywhere...and the smells..all so yummy.
Charmaine
I love all the flowers and plants poking through the ground. The trees leafing out. And shopping for flowers.
Wendy L.
I really love the smell of spring - it wakes up my nose which has been "frozen" all winter!
Who doesn't love spring? I love the feel of sunshine on my face and back as I get out my bike and start riding again! Thanks for the chance to win your yummy blog candy.
Thanks for the chance to win ...I know it's spring when the crocus's just begin to poke through the earth. I get excited to see them come to colour in the warmer days ahead!
I love Spring because of the newness!! All things new.
Glad you're checking in! I've missed your posts -- but certainly understand that life calls...
Spring is my favorite season -- the cool, crisp mornings with the promise of warmth to come, the sweet smells and sounds of flowers blooming, birds chirping, lawnmowers... Fun!
Thanks!
I love going for walks in the park and the fresh smell.

Tanya
There is so much to love about Spring. I love the chirpping birds and all the beautiful flowers and you can't forget the warmer weather.
I love spring because I love to see the new bulbs sprouting from the dead, brown earth! What a sign of rejuvenation! Thanks for the offer of blog candy!
LeAnne
Though it is not my favorite season, the coming of Spring brings a lot of joy to my heart. I am not sure what I like most: the brighter sun, the warmer days or the flowers blooming everywhere. Unfortunately this year spring is letting itself waited too much. It is almost the end of March and we still have snow falling.
love the animals that come out the spring the rabbit and the smell of fresh cut grass
What I love about spring - well, the sounds, sights, and smells! Right now we are blessed with no snow and nice warm days which can change daily in Iowa! Anyway, the sun is out and the birds are chirping and singing. The squirrels are chittering away at the neighbor's cat as it is stalking another squirrel. I walked the dog and there are crocus bulbs blooming in a yard. I don't like their scent but still I gotta love there colors. The tulips should be up and blooming in time for our city's Tulip Time Festival. Thanks for a chance to win some fun stuff. Thanks for all your projects you share.
Chris R. from Iowa
I LOVE seeing my little girls' faces (ages 2 and 1) when they can finally go outside and blow bubbles... which they are doing with their Daddy as I type. What could be better than that?
Shelly
i love the spring flowers that push their way up from under forgotten fall leaves. daffodils, tulips, crocuses, what's not to love.
I love the start of warm weather. I hate cold weather, and to get back into short sleeves.
My favorite part of spring is watching the bright green leaves begin to bud on the trees!!! It should be soon...I can hardly wait!! Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck finishing report cards. I'm sure your kids' parents appreciate the time you put in! Teachers rock!!
Whats not to like about spring? I will even suffer w/ my allergies for all the new hope & freshness that spring brings. Its like a big ol bear wakin up after a loong winters nap.
Nice to have you back.

Hey Alli!!! Your blog is looking scrumpious as always!
Spring - I love my peonies, cutting them and bringing them inside to smell up the house!
I just love when bulbs start to peek out of the ground. My favorite part of spring is a patch of blooming Daffodils.
The smells of spring - a rain storm, the flowers, etc.!
I love seeing all the bulbs peek through the ground and just as spring actually makes its way here, they are in full bloom! It's so beautiful~ Thanks for the chance and best wishes with all the report cards--
I love spring because it's warm. No more coats and sweaters
I love the feeling of 'anything is possible' that I get in the spring...and lilacs!
What I love about spring...... pussywillows, crocuses, soft sunlight, robins singing, longer day light hours.
My favorite thing about Spring is waking up in the morning and hearing the finches chirping outside my window. I have a wreath out there and every year for the last 6 years, the finches come and they build a nest and have babies....in my wreath!! I love watching them build their love nest and then watching mama bird keep the eggs warm until they hatch into cute little baby birdies! When I hear them chirping outside my window.....I know its Spring!! All things are new!!!
Spring. The thing that I love is how fresh and clean everything looks. After the snow and especially the dirty snow, and the yellow dead grass. It is so nice to see everything greening up and looking so fresh and clean. I love the return of the birds and the blooming of the flowers too.
Like most, what I love about spring is the bulbs in my garden coming to life and showing all their magnificent colours and blooms.
Thanks for the chance to win some great candy.
My favorite think about spring is to see the first buds on the trees.
We have a Cherry Blossom Trail when the trees are all blooming it is just breath taking.
Lilacs, lilacs, and more lilacs. What is more springlike then the smell of lilacs. I fill my house with them. Every room has a vase full. The color variations are amazing too. When they die off I feel sad, because all other flowers are still a ways off.
I love the new grass, the perennials blooming, and the hope that invariably comes with the season
I love the fresh smell of rain and grass and all the beautiful flowers. Everything wakes up and I feel fresh and alive after the gloominess of January and February.
Since I live in Florida - spring means the beach!
Hi Alli! My favorite part of Spring is the temperature. It's not hot and it's not cold....it's perfect. I live in California, so I'm somewhat spoiled in the weather department, no snow in the winter time, only rain.
Thanks for a chance to win!
