Happy March Happenings and We Have A Winner!

Hi Friends!

Is it spring yet?

With temps warming up for most of us, we hope it's soon, right?!?

I've been having too much fun the last two weeks

bringing out a little spring decor

and 

preparing the garden for plantings.

Here are a few photos sharing what's been going on at Rose Garden Cottage~

While the bunnies have not hopped out yet,

I have accomplished some

lighter looks and styling for springy days ahead!

And,

The Studio's been buzzing with new studies like these in my workshop art lessons!

Gorgeous tulips!

Dogwoods and rustic birdhouse!

February Violets!

Because 

NICE MATTERS!

Springtime always brings to me dreams of a fresh new outlook.

A new season to begin when the gardens wake to the warm sunshine

and all is new again!

When many more creations are born from my paint brushes

and home decor changes to greet the new season!

These are the Springtime dreams

that make me thankful for the blessings God has given me and my family!

What is your new outlook for springtime?

A Beautiful Win

Hi Friends

Hope you are enjoying a nice weekend.

Friday I was blessed with a special box delivered to my door.

Recently I won a beautiful giveaway 

from 

Debbie

of

She Graces Her Home In God's Beauty

What a special box of treasures from Debbie

celebrating her 100th blog following,

 along with her 36 year marriage.

Congratulations Debbie!!

Here are some pics sharing my win.

Beauty right from the opening of the box.

A gorgeous card from Debbie with a sweet note.

Pink and pretty and wrapped so special.

Darling Flower Magnet.

I love this and have the perfect spot for it.

Lotions and hand wash that have a scent just heavenly.

A beautiful teacup from Grace's Teaware.

Just love this cup and sweet flower design.

Tea just tastes better in a pretty cup, don't you think?

Three Pink bags filled with goodies.

The middle bag has a wristlet clipped on which could be used as a  small evening bag.

So pretty.

Purse tissues and clear lip gloss.

Perfect for summer!

And the treats from Ghirardelli in Rasberry.

So yummy!!

For a home spa day, she filled one bag with 

spa scents and a darling spa cap.

Pretty design and perfect for long hair.

She also included this darling magnet note pad and pearl pen.

The quote on the paper says,

Faith plants the seed.

Love makes it grow!

Thank you Debbie for your generosity.

You sure spoiled me

and

I love every treasure in this gift.

Stop by and say hello to Debbie  and visit her lovely blog.

She is a beautiful christian lady inside and out.

Her wisdom in God's word is inspiring and a blessing.

She is an encouragement to all and you will enjoy your visit.

Her daughter is Stephanie from 

The Enchanting Rose blog

and you would be blessed to visit her as well.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing in my win.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Blessings Be Yours!
