Pass it forward...

     Today I found a little surprise in my mailbox from Michelle at A Little of This & That. She hosted a "Pass It Forward" giveaway last month and I was one of the three selected!

Michelle sent me a bottle of nail polish in Timbleberry and a cute picture frame that will look smashing on my desk at school (I'd post pictures but Blogger is being a pain with uploading pictures... it took me three days to upload my daffodil pics from my post earlier!!!).

Thanks to Michelle and if you don't read her blog yet, you should stop by! I love her picture collages and humor!

I'm now hosting my own "Pass It Forward"!

Rules are simple:

1. The first three readers to post a comment will receive a little something from me. You must have a blog to participate.

2. Please leave your email as part of your comment so I can get back to you about mailing of gift.

3. Most important, you must pass this gesture forward so please only respond if you are willing to host this type of giveaway.

I'm so excited to be doing this... a little way of saying thank you to those faithful or even new readers!

Update: Still looking for two people to join in the Pass It Forward. All you have to do is accept a few little treats from me (yay) and in return, offer the same thing

on your blog... it's that easy!

Spring is sprung!

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

~Wordsworth

Here is another picture of my blooming daffodils, my favorite Spring flower :)

What are your favorite Spring flowers?

Happy Easter!!!

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where's thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia!
Praise to thee by both be given, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
Hail the Resurrection, thou, Alleluia!

King of glory, soul of bliss, Alleluia!
Everlasting life is this, Alleluia!
Thee to know, thy power to prove, Alleluia!
Thus to sing, and thus to love, Alleluia!

Wishing all of you a Happy Easter season!!!

Good Friday...

"Lord, by thy Cross and Resurrection thou hast redeemed the world."

As you may have noticed, I've been taking a blogging break during Holy Week.

I wish you all a happy, healthy, and blessed rest of Triduum and I will see you all on Easter morning!

Happy Palm Sunday!

I picked up my palms... I hope everyone else had a chance to as well.

Troop Beverly Hills!!!!

I just finished watching an awesome movie from my childhood... Troop Beverly Hills! What a great treat to wake up to! Does anyone else remember this movie? So many favorite parts: I love the cookie fundraising events, the Wilderness Jamboree, and of course, their darling uniforms.

What are your favorite movies from childhood?

Things that make my week... late addition!

Painted pottery last night with one of my oldest and dearest friends.... Of course,

I had to paint it pink and green!

I love reading classics. I'm reading this one (again!) over April vacation, which started officially yesterday!

New bedspread and shams! I wanted something a little more classy so I picked this pattern up and it works so well with the French blue walls.

Of course, my new polo! It is so comfy. I wore it to school yesterday and I had so many compliments :)

What made your week?
