The first day of spring was lovely, but surprisingly windy, and gave me hope that the weather was finally catching on. Alas, it was not. I even saw a tiny bit of freezing rain on my way to lunch today. Not cool, spring. In better news, spring began with an unexpected package from Stampin’ Up. I answer surveys for them, and occasionally they surprise me with a box of goodies in return. They’re like little surprise gifts, the way they always turn up when I least expect them. This one included some nice ink pads and a complete alphabet set. How timely! I have been thinking lately that I could make use of an alphabet stamp set.
I hope you all had a lovely first day of spring and Easter! I could see from many of the blogs I read that there was lots of egg-dyeing and candy afoot. SciFi Man and I ended up going out to celebrate, and it was nice to not have to do all the cooking. Especially since there were just the two of us. Then I balanced my books for Anodyne Design and prepared everything to take to our tax person tomorrow. I know, talk about Easter fun.

Good luck with the taxes! We did all that in February…kind of scarey as it was my first year.
