Palm trees come in all sizes and shapes....but I’m not sure that they come in rainbow colors like Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Grapefruit Grove....unless you are stamping them on a card that is.

Our weather last week was unusually warm....in the 70’s! So I thought maybe Puxatawny Phil, the famous Groundhog in Pennsylvania is right and warm weather was on it’s way. Until we got to this past Saturday....that 70 degree weather became 32 degree weather. So in hopes of bringing back the warm weather, I thought it… Continue reading Feels Like Spring!
