12 Days of Christmas Giveaway- Day 3
On Day 3 of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, we're looking forward to spring. In Kansas, we had a cold snap early this year, but we've enjoyed some very nice days with temps in the 50's and 60's since. I was lucky enough to be in Florida during the first snowfall, sketching on the beach between teaching at workshops. My kids had just returned home from a week at Disney World and would text us the temperatures each day with not-so-happy emoticons for emphasize. Oh well,....They coulda stayed, too!Our giveaway for Day 3 - a trio of spring patterns including our Tulip Trellis lap quilt, Coneflowers charm pattern and Tulip Twirl Wool Mini Table Treat.Don't you just love it when the first tulip breaks through the snow and reminds you that it really will warm up again?
Comment here by 10pm tonight on what you look forward to most in early spring for a chance to win. See you tomorrow!
I look forward to the crocus popping out of the ground....a sure symbol of hope for warmer weather! Thank you for a chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI like seeing all the bright colors reappear!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the birds getting their nests ready. Most years, we have a nest on our porch. Another fun thing is, we are always the last house to have snow! LOL
ReplyDeleteI most look forward to finding which of my perennials have made it through the winter. I scout out the flower beds daily and am happy when I can mark yet another flower that survived. :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the new colors burst forth, the yellows, the pinks, the bright green of the new leaves and the green grass.
ReplyDeleteGreen is my favourite colour. Spring unfolds green...I love watching the brightness of the green come into the horizon on the trees!
ReplyDeleteI love the forsythia bushes in bloom
ReplyDeleteI love to see the crocus peaking up through the ground.
ReplyDeleteLove the tulips and cockscomb!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils! The deer eat tulips so we don't plant them.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the spring bulbs & trees blooming, plus our grass turning green.
ReplyDeleteOn a slightly cool spring day there is nothing like taking a quilt out on the deck to bind and listen to the birds sing while tacking down the binding.
ReplyDeleteI always look at our forsythia bushes to see the first yellow blooms on their branches ... they always herald the arrival of Spring and after winters in Northern Michigan (260+ inches of snow last year!!!) it is a welcomed sight!
ReplyDeleteNo more driving on snow covered roads
ReplyDeleteEarly spring means the laundry can once again be hung outside in the wonderful fresh air.
ReplyDeleteThe smell of spring in the air! Wonderful!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing daffodils again. My Dad always called them Easter flowers.
ReplyDeletePaula
Spring flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing my garden come to life with new warm weather flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe trees on the mountain turning from brown to green.
ReplyDeleteI love the daffodils and seeing the trees bud, knowing the leaves will be on them soon.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the Dogwood blooms. They are like snow in the forest. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEarly spring means dry weather and hopefully some sunshine so I will be able to get out into the garden
ReplyDeleteI look forward to warmer nights and temperate days. I love Spring rain.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to get out to our raised gardens and get dirty!
ReplyDeleteTo me, Early spring means finally opening the window in my sewing room, to feel the nice warm breeze and watching and listening to the birds singing and playing around my flower garden to inspire my creativity.
ReplyDeleteIn the spring, I love looking at the green hills with the wildflowers here on the central coast of California. And today I'm looking at glorious rain which we are absolutely thrilled about!
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful Redbud and Dogwood trees and the cool crisp spring air.
ReplyDeleteDown here in Texas, we love our Bluebonnets! But the real sign of spring is when we see the Phlox appear, and then soon after, Indian Paintbrush and Butterfly Weed, followed by those glorious Bluebonnets. God's masterpiece is so glorious!
ReplyDeleteI love to see the daffodils starting to bloom here in Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteI love the longer days and all the green foliage
ReplyDeleteI love the first sight of light green returning to the trees in the park behind our house.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the smell of fresh cut grass!
ReplyDeleteWe don' t have tulips here in Florida, but we are experiencing some of the cold weather. It was 39 last night, and is supposed to drop dopwn to 37 tonight! Yikes! Thanks cold for this Florida girl ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love my purple crocus peeking through the ground. One year there was still some snow on the ground and the purple and white was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love robins in the spring.
ReplyDeleteNo SNOW! Winter came too early in Northern Wisconsin. We have had the ground covered since November 1. I love seeing the Red-Winged Blackbirds in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the birds returning to my feeders, the warmer weather and the trees and flowers blooming.
ReplyDeleteGreen grass.
ReplyDeletewarmer winds
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the first snow drops coming thru
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the Spring flowers and the birds chirping.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in KS, I look forward to the crocuses peeking through the snow. It was the first sign that the winter was ending. Now that I'm going through my first winter in the Pacific NW, I have to say that I'm looking forward to seeing the sun out when I go to work AND when I come home.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to spring flowers, hyacinths, tulip, daffodils, forsythia. They can really brighten up the rainy weather in spring.
ReplyDeleteI love having sunnier days and safer roads to travel!
ReplyDeleteI like being able to walk my dog without putting on a jacket.
ReplyDeleteGreen grass and the all the flowers that bloom in spring.
ReplyDeleteThe tulips do make great displays, especially 56,000 of them. That's how many we planted at the Wichita Botanic Gardens. I love when everything starts greening up in the garden.
ReplyDeleteLOL the squirrels and I battle over my bulbs in the fall/winter; so I look forward to seeing who won the battle in the spring! :-) Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteI have crocus that come up before the tulips - they'll even push their heads up through a covering of snow - so beautiful! (The purple ones are my favorites)
ReplyDeleteLiving in Florida we don't see the changes that much of the country sees but we do enjoy planting our annuals early so we can enjoy them before it gets too hot.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the trees start budding and the buttercups bloom.
ReplyDeleteLook for forward to the early bulbs blooming - thanks.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the sounds of running water from the melting snow.
ReplyDeleteI love the arrival of the wrens and other spring birds.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the garden coming to life with the first of the spring bulbs and the cherry blossoms.
ReplyDeleteI love looking for the first snowdrops to pop up in the back yard. They were not planted by us, but most likely by a neighborhood squirrel. They are so tiny, but make such an impact!
ReplyDeleteSandy A
The sweet sound of the birds returning for another season. Planning for the garden, digging in the dirt, and anticipating what will grow and nurture us through another year~
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the Daffodils blooming.
ReplyDeleteI love to see the daffodils smiling at the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteIt's only 9:39 p.m. on the West coast 😆

ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the children starting to venture out in the park behind our house.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to bits of green showing against the drab gray
ReplyDeleteI look forward to running outside again. Running on a treadmill can get very boring very quickly.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the birds return and sitting on my front porch enjoying the sunshine while I watch them.
ReplyDeleteI live next to a master gardener who shares her flowers and color with the neighborhood. She has her beds plated so something is always blooming. What a gift to the whole neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteI just want to see GREEN! Anything green. I live in the house my grandparents built back in the '30s, and Grandma had lots of what we call "Easter Flowers" (the rest of the world calls them jonquils). They come up really early, and I love seeing them.
ReplyDeleteI look forward every year to hearing the spring "peepers". Once they come out, you know spring is finally coming!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the earth wake up after its winter sleep. The daffodils with their pretty yellow faces are a welcoming site... ☺️
Running the digger and the smell of the dirt I'm working. We farm.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to my roses blooming in spring. That is when they look their best with no help from me!
ReplyDeleteWe just retired a year ago from the desert of southern California to the beautiful mountains of Utah, and for me, I love the change of all four seasons. It is hard to choose, but I think it's the beautiful pink and white blossoming trees through out our town.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the baby goats frolicking in the fields on the way to my LQS. They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThis spring will be extra special for us. We will be selling our house in NJ and moving to Montana. NJ in springtime is awesome. After all we are the Garden State!
ReplyDeleteAt our house the humams and cats love being able to open the slider door for extended periods of time to let all the fresh spring air and bird sounds in!
ReplyDeleteSpring to me is like a new beginning. Love the clean smell in the air along with the fragrance of flowers and new budding trees.
ReplyDeleteGrilling! Lilac bush in bloom...wonderful scent.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to all the beautiful azaleas blooming in the spring down here in the south.
ReplyDeleteI love tulips! Unfortunately, so do the deer that make their home in my yard!!!!
