I wait to do the deep Spring cleaning until after the pollen has settled.  The pollen gets really bad here in the Carolina’s. Not great for allergies either.  None the less I do love the season when the flowers start to bloom and the birds are chirping away and looking for their seed I put out in the feeders we have every where.

You already know I am in Spring crafting mode.  It started with my Burlap spring art, then I made the ladybug candle.  Today

I cheered up the kitchen dining area window.  It started with a jar.

Then one thing leads to another as they say. “They” say a lot don’t they? Whoever “they” are?

I do want to change up Alex’s room when he leaves.  I just want to make it more grown up for him when he does come back home on his breaks.  I have some plans swirling around for that as well.  Considering his room has not been changed since his Freshman year in HS, it’s time.  You can see what I did back then.
