Encouraging Hearts & Home: A Spring in my Step

Nothing quite puts a spring in my step like warm, sunny weather.  I feel energized and have even taken to creating more cards and scrapbook pages too.  It seems like spring is getting my creative juices flowing too.  My features today are all taken from last week's party and they feature crafts, cards, and culinary delights that had me itching to create something of my own. 

And Now, It's Time for This Week's Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!
