As much as I love being here in Florida, I am beginning to think about going back home. We will get there just in time to watch spring arrive, and one of my favorite things, besides watching baby plants pop out of the earth and double in size overnight, is watching the birds make their nests. When it gets warm enough, I can open the window in my craft room and get some fresh air and listen to the birds singing. I have a collection of "used" blue eggs that have fallen out of nests or the remains of hatched ones, which I keep in a tiny little hummingbird nest made of horsehair that my Dad found and gave to me many years ago.
So that is what inspired this card. I hope it evokes some nice thoughts or memories for you, too. The sentiment is computer-generated, a quote from the movie "August Rush" that I've used before.

Such a pretty, Spring card, Lin - thanks for sharing your beautiful work. x
I've said this before, but I am so grateful that you share your talent! This is such a delightful card! I needed this today. It gets me even more excited for Spring, which seems so far away still. (A snowstorm is in our forecast for early next week.) Thank you, Lin, for your beautiful work! Hugs!

What a beautiful, sweet card! Thank you for sharing your creations:)
I always adore your creations. Especially the ones with music notes. There have been many that you've made, Lin. They've really inspired me that I finally bought some music notes and clef. This one is so pretty, and the quote, I agree, is very true. (love that movie, too)
Thanks for sharing the inspiration behind this beautiful card Lin! Just as time away makes us thankful for home I think the same could be said for winter making us appreciate spring that much more.
Thank you for sharing the emotions behind the card Lin, it's feelings like these that make the best cards! I absolutely love this one with that beautiful blue! Now you have made me want to watch August Rush again, but I will need to go to the store to buy a gigantic tissue box!
