Spring Fever!!

It is finally approaching 80 degrees here in Florida!  I made this paper bag book using our Ice Cream Parlor Collection found exclusively in this year's Sale-A-Bration Catalog!!  I added some of last year's spring photos and left lots of spaces to add in this year's! 

Is it Spring Yet??

It is finally warming up a bit... in Florida that is.  But, where are all the flowers??

For All You Do
