Surprises for Spring

Hello, all. Here we are in the 3rd week of April, and Spring has me a bit restless. I am trying to keep my thoughts and hands busy to distract myself from other nervous thoughts, mostly about the future.

This weekend I accompanied a friend in her apartment shopping on Capitol Hill, which was good fun. I hadn't been to that part of the city in quite some time, and the sunshine made it such a cheery day. Plus, I love looking at new places and scheming design ideas in my head. Now that it's warming up I feel like getting out and exploring again. Perhaps busy feet will keep my nerves at bay.

Yesterday, my day off, I stayed in and made some happy Springtime crafts. I decided to package them up and send them to someone. This particular package is going to someone special. I left a comment on Facebook that I was sending out a package to someone, and then, something funny happened.....people got really excited about the possibility of getting a package! I felt bad because I knew who was getting this one, but I decided it would be fun to surprise someone else with a package too! So, I posted this little announcement on Facebook:

Happy Spring, Friends!

Every year when Spring rolls in, as Winter sputters out yet two months too long, I think....this must be my very favorite season. (Whence Summer and Fall come around, I think I say the same...Nonetheless!--) The world feels fresh, sometimes new, and despite whatever else is going on, there's something hopeful in the air. There's energy.

So what am I getting at? I want to share that happy Spring energy with you! Here's the deal:

In the comments below this note, say hello and leave your mailing address.* I will use a random number generator to select one person to receive a special surprise package! Please reply soon as I will only take comments up to Friday at 12:01am PST. I will finish the project and send it out next Monday, April 19th (or Tuesday, if I'm lazy). My only request is that you be willing to take a photo of You+Surprise to share, aka, the Results Photo.

What will you get? I'll be honest--it will probably be something simple, lightweight, and likely homemade, because "{my} money don't grow on trees," and that's just how I roll. It may be somewhat generic, or it could be more personal. The fun is in the surprise! :)

*If you are uncomfortable leaving your address in the comments, leave a comment (so you'll have a number) and private message me your address.

Isn't that fun??

I'm really excited and hope I get lots of comments to make it more exciting for everyone. Facebook is a funny thing though...200 people you haven't spoken to in ages will add you, say nothing, and then totally ignore you from thereon. I'm hoping this will bring some of them out of the woodwork, and if not...maybe I'll delete them. ;) Just Kidding!

Happy Tuesday!
