Spring has sprung here on the coast

The weather here the last few days has been lovely and the weathermen are calling for a heat wave - 27 degrees celcius?  - over the next several days.  I know that a lot of people here are anxious for the better weather because the weather was bad (here) this winter.  Myself, not so much.  What with being in Palm Springs at the end of September/beginning of October and then back again in February, there was no really bad weather for me. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to being able to get my flowers back in so I can enjoy my yard.  I think it helps quite a bit that I'm feeling so well again, finally over (fingers crossed) that no energy, no sparkle phase.

I'm doing my tag a day challenge for April.  It certainly keeps me busy but it also forces me to make a higher priority of my art ....and that's a good thing.  I'm also playing in an ATC swap over on Blissfully Art Journalling, and that's fun as well
I've joined the passbook group but so far have not yet participated.  I hope to jump in there soon.

I'm still working on clearing out my art studio.  I have managed to give away about 10 boxes of stuff - paper, envelopes, paint, scrapbook paper, pencils and embellishments.  It feels good however I can see that I need to de-stash even more over the coming months.  I have so much paper - decorated, gelli printed, scrapbook - and embellishments!  I can see a good number of happy mail envelopes leaving my door in future

Here are a few of the art pieces that I've completed.  I hope you enjoy them.
