Say it with flowers at TIOT

I hope everyone is loving the lighter evenings as much as I am. Of course sunny days do make much more difference to everything too.

We noticed the traffic islands seem to have lots of flowers this year, but it could just be that for the past two years we didn't do that much driving at this time of year.

We have a brand new theme at Try It On Tuesday - 'Say It With Flowers'

The Design Team have made some fabulous examples to inspire you.

I made a journal page that reminded me of my Mum. It would have been her birthday yesterday(the first day of Spring) She loved Narcissi, although her favourites were the small yellow ones known as Cheerfulness.

Up to when I was about 10, most birthdays my Mum had began with me and my brother going to a neighbour who had a small holding (a small farm - mainly agricultural). He had an orchard that always had a carpet of snowdrops - some late flowering - we would pay him sixpence for as many snowdrops as we could pick - on years when they had past their best we could pick daffodils from his front garden. 

Used some Stamperia papers and a fussy cut Crafty Individuals trio of Daffodils onto a lightly stencilled page

With Mothering Sunday coming up in the UK next Sunday I chose this TH Paper Doll with a basket of flowers ready for her Mum.

I hope that you can join us this time - as usual the TIOT theme runs for two weeks.

 I am also joining in with Valerie's Art Journal Journey theme - 'Spring'

Thanks for Looking, Chris
