Gifts of Spring

"The arms of May are

flower filled with blossoms

April showers spilled.

Bright, rainbow-colored

gifts of spring arrived

at her awakening."

~ Nora M. Bozeman ~

A Song in Spring

O little buds all

bourgeoning with Spring,

you hold my winter in

forgetfulness; Without my

window, lilac branches swing,

within my gate I hear a robin

sing... O little laughing

blooms that lift & bless!

Printable sheet of 10 tags ~

So blow the breezes in a

soft caress, blowing my dreams

upon a swallow's wing; O little

merry buds, in dappled dress,
You fill my heart with very

wantonness... O little buds all

bourgeoning with Spring!

~ Jessie B. Rittenhouse ~

A Tiny Little Flower

"Who would have thought

it possible that a tiny little

flower could preoccupy a

person so completely that

there simply wasn't room

for any other thought?"

~ Sophie Scholl ~



Lily-of-the Valley

Forget-me-not

I've re-imagined these beautiful postcard

borders into 3.5" x 5" graphics for you!  The

printable versions feature 3 of the 3.5" x 5"

graphics, as well as 2 which are slightly

smaller. I'll be using mine for writing notes,

but think they'd also make pretty

place cards or labels.

The Lasting Perfume

"Pleasure is the

flower that passes;
remembrance, the

lasting perfume."

~ Jean de Boufflers ~

I created 8 coordinating printable

scrapbook papers for you! All are 8" x 8",

and are free for your personal use.

Flowers pictured in the

Victorian postcard: forget-me-not,

which symbolized true love; and

lily-of-the valley, for sweetness,

humility, returning happiness, and

trustworthiness. Beautiful

combination, wouldn't you agree?

May the raindrops
fall lightly on your brow.

May the soft winds
freshen your spirit.

May the sunshine
brighten your heart.

May the burdens of the day
rest lightly upon you.

And may God enfold you 
in the mantle of His love.
