I was totally inspired by Marcella's post last Thursday. What's in your windowsill? You can check it out here: Power Poppy Blog
It reminded me that I that last fall I had planted some tulip bulbs in honor of my mom's birthday. She would have been 72 so I planted 72 bulbs. I ventured out to see if they had poked through with all our warm weather here in NC.
Sure enough they are imerging. I am so excited. It is like she is reminding me that she is here.
I had a few extra so this graces my window sill. It is my hope that they will bloom by Easter. Wouldn't that be so special.
I chose Power Poppies Tulip Set. It is available for download upon purchase HERE.
I love this sentiment and thought it was perfect for my newly planted tulip garden. It is from Power Poppies digital set called Geraniums. It is available for purchase HERE.
Don't forget that there is a new challenge called Power and Spark and it is over on the Power Poppy Blog.
Now check out what these fabulous Bloom Brigade ladies have for you this week:

Ah, Dawn, what a beautiful idea to plant 72 bulbs in honor of your precious mom!! She would be thrilled, and I am praying that the ones in the pot on your window sill bloom in time for Easter! How precious! Your card is gorgeous, and I LOVE the colors of your tulips...yum! And what a beautiful layout with such a luscious bow!! Yes, the earth seems to laugh in flowers...just love that sentiment! Hugs, sweet friend, and I miss my sweet mom too!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is just fabulous! I love your coloring & I don't know anyone who can tie beautiful bows as well as you do! I hope you will share the photos once your tulips all pop up! What a wonderful tribute to your mom! I used to have them across the entire front of my house & one winter I had a gas leak outside & the utility company came in & tore up the whole front destroying all my bulbs! I've never replanted, but you may have inspired me this fall to try again.
ReplyDeleteThe coloring on these iris's is fabulous. They look real enough to take them right off the paper.
ReplyDeleteThat is just so sweet Dawn. I love that you planted 72 bulbs....and as the multiply it will be a constant reminder of love :) Beautiful card, I love that lush bow and the colours on the tulips!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet Dawn, planting 72 bulbs in memory of your Mom. Hmmmm....and I imagine a little painful. Hugs. And just beautiful color you created with your coloring.
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely, Dawn, but your story about your mom brought tears to my eyes, great post, my friend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Dawn and such beautiful coloring. I hope your tulips bloom for Easter :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to plant tulips for your mom's birthday! She would love that, I'm sure. Your tulips are beautifully colored and so nicely set off with the pink and green. What a delight!
ReplyDeleteSpring filled goodness... Oh I adore how you colored these Dawn. Love the ribbon and your sprouts you shared. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love how you honored your Mom's birthday, Dawn! Wish I had thought of that in the Fall as I love tulips and daffodils, and so did she. I am sure your Mom was such a special lady! What beautiful tulips...love the springy green ribbon!
