It’s been a beautiful Ohio spring weekend here. Things always seem to start to get hectic this time of  the year. Just when you want to slow down and enjoy the sunshine! This weekend was crazy busy, so I’m just getting the Artsy Blogger roundup done. It’s technically still the weekend until midnight, right?

Our fruit trees are blooming and looking fabulous! Here’s a quick shot of a few of the blooms on one of the apple trees.

Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings, and cleaning out the old so you can have in with the new. I have some fun links to share with you this weekend and many of them do just that. From candied violets, to fishing cupcakes, and organizing your scrapbook stickers, there are tons of fun weekend reading links for you to check out for spring ideas.
