    Spring!!!!!

    Friday, March 13, 2009, 10:11 PM [General]

    We must live through the dreary winter

    If we would value the spring;

    And the woods must be cold and silent

    Before the robins sing.

    The flowers must be buried in darkness

    Before they can bud and bloom,

    And the sweetest, warmest sunshine

    Comes after the storm and gloom.

    Hi Queen GadAbout ~~ Nice poem! I enjoy scrapbooking too. Now I am also branching off into card making. My goal for this summer is to re-organize my Red Hat/Computer room and get a nice workspace for my scrapping and carding. Now I lug all my stuff out to the kitchen table, then lug it all back in. Happy Hatting ~~

    G'Day Queen GadAbout from Adelaide, South Australia My cousin Nancy lives in Poplar Bluff. She's not a Red Hatter though she bought me my very first red hat when I visited Northern California in 2002 and discovered The Red Hat Society. I'd love to come visit your part of the world one day. Hatter Hugs Lisa
