  1. Hi Tammy,
    What I love about spring are the sounds...the birdsong and the call of the peepers in particular. After a very quiet winter in rural Nova Scotia they are music to my ears.
    I am so excited about this newest club...can't wait!
    All the best,
    jenny

  2. Spring is my favorite season because color comes back into my world. Winters are long and dreary and somewhat monochromatic. Love the earthy smell of the season as well. And don't forget the lilacs.

    I am from Massachusetts. You can reach me through etsy as I belong to your clubs.

  8. Hi Tammy! I love the regrowth of spring -- the return of birds, flowers, sunshine. I love the sound of children playing outside like I used to do. This spring, I am entering a new phase of my life, and the fact that it is starting in the springtime is incredibly appropriate! :-) He does work in wondrous ways!

  9. We have two ponds in our backyard and I love seeing my fish come out of their winter hibernation and swimming to the edge to greet me. I just love the lush look of the new growth on our shrubs and trees and the pretty blossoms. I do also love being able to get my beloved Corvettes out of the garage with no danger of salty roads!!

  11. I Love all of the nature that is so alive in the spring. The goose is laying eggs on a stump in the lake and the mallards are building nests. I have bluebirds and chickadee in my birdhouses. The Hummingbirds are back and all of the trees are a beautiful greens. Flowers are blooming everywhere. It is just a beautiful season.

  13. My favorite part of Spring is when you see the Pussy Willow Catkins poking their fuzzy heads out, announcing that "Spring is about to be bursting out all over". I miss not being able to go for a walk in the woods and gather up a sweet bouquet to enjoy knowing that Spring is coming soon.

  15. Spring offers so much promise, new and fresh season to renew hope for a continuation of life. Baby chicks hatch, with ferocious wild hen mothers who have transformed into gypsies leaving the comfort of the coop to commune away from the rest of the egg layers, to raise their precious youngsters! Flowers return from the semi-cold soil, to bring joy to all who wander close enough to take in their delight. Flats of seeds begin sprouting from chilly flats of soil stacked in the greenhouse like books in a library. Spring is welcome here.
    Thank you Tammy for the opportunity to win a bit of your hand crafted art.

  16. Although I live in in an area that offers great climate all year long, (Arizona)Springtime is the start of all the new growth and surprises that pop up with many "volunteer" plants in our yard. The birds are making nests for the young ones and the bunnies appear from the burrows. It is the time we start to enjoy the tomato plants that we planted in February/March. So much to look forward to. I love the pear and it would look lovely in my home....

  17. My favorite thing about springtime is seeing our mourning doves each day and hearing them throughout the day. It is a season of rebirth and renewal. I love the pear you made as it reminds me of the very old pear tree I walk by several times a day in the garden.

  19. Here in the UK our seasons are quite distinct and I love to watch them change. Each season has its own treasures and each season I say 'This is my favourite'. I am happy I don't have to choose. I would love to add your pear to my Autumn display. Thank you for offering it. Irene xx

  23. One of my favorite spring traditions is cleaning out the flower beds, trips to the garden center and sipping iced tea on the deck. Love the Adam and Eve (and apple) keep those great designs coming

  24. Hi Tammy,

    What a beautiful giveaway...reminds me of the pears we'll have later in our wee orchard. We have to be quick to get them before the doe comes out of the woods to knock against the tree and dislodge the pears. Her fawn (or fawns some years) then venture out and seem to really love the pears. I actually don't mind it they eat every single one - it's a small price to pay for being able to see Nature's sweet creature. Oops - I got off the subject. One thing I truly love about spring is how the birds seem to be competing with the frogs to proclaim that spring has arrived. What a chorus they sing! I also don't mind how the bumblebees seem drunk in their flying and I love seeing them try to fly with legs heavily laden with pollen from spring's first flowers.
