April Showers Bring May Flowers!

Good afternoon! We hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far! On the bright side, tomorrow is already Wednesday :) So, anyway, as the title of today's post suggests, our project has a little bit of rain and sun, something we are quite familiar with now. Today, like the past week, it's rained a little, but then the sun came out. As they say, we've had "sun breaks", which is kind of a silly saying. If the sun breaks through the clouds, wouldn't it be a cloud break? A break from the clouds? But I digress.  Back on track. We spent a few hours this afternoon going through our sites and updating our images and this is one header we're super excited about!
Along with changing up our blog, we also updated our Etsy shop and our Facebook page. It covers both the months of April and May, so we won't have to worry about changing it up next month. The colors came out a lot duller than they are actually are, but it looks much better this way. The birds from 3 Birds-on Parade are great because they are so easily changed to fit the season. From there, it was easy to add more cuts and images to build a scene. And the best thing, a few months ago, we spent hours and hours and hours trying to get everything to fit right, today's update only took 90 minutes, without anyone getting upset. It was a truly successful afternoon!!
Ok, I know it's not too exciting for most people, but it's one of those small events that just make everything better! So, thanks for stopping by and hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday workday!

We are entering our new design to a few challenges:
