Ducky Days with Daffodil Highlights

Hi!

I wish for you today a Ducky Day, with daffodil highlights, followed by a bunny slipper chaser!

A silly duck paper doll for you!

Thanks OrigamiBears for sharing your fantastic collection!

“It was one of those March days

When the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:

When it is summer in the light,

And winter in the shade.”

-            Charles Dickens

Don't you just love that yellow chair! The combination of daffodil yellow and bright blue is just terrific. What project can you make with these colors?

How about a recycled, washed bottle with 3 daffodils,

and tied with a bright blue ribbon?

Here's a little vintage for you:

 

"The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!"~Robert Browning

I had so much fun browsing other shops

to find handmade, vintage and more ducks on etsy.

Here is one of them:

This lil' ducky is for sale ($6) from KathyCeramicRose, etsy.

Sweet.

“Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!”

~L.H. Bailey

I had a super fun time with my sis-in-law, Pam, over the weekend. We experimented with Mod Podge (it comes now in glitter Mod Podge!) and glass plates, some glass bowls and clay pots, and napkins.

Yep, fancy printed paper napkins, like you have at a birthday party!

I tried to take pictures through all the phases, so I will posting that shortly as my first tutorial!

Excited, I am.

Do have a giggle today - it's so good for you!

Now to finish off with a pair of bunny slippers:

for sale by MakingsByMary, etsy

I am a totally Spring Person! I crave the sun, the warmth.

And yes, I like summer too!

I look forward to seeing the green shoots starting to poke their heads up, like little green thermometers checking the weather.

Once I started planting Spring bulbs in the fall, Spring is that much more wonderful! I adore daffodils of any kind - the big ones, the skinny ones, the plain yellow, the yellow & orange, the white & orange....Love them all!

“Where man sees but withered leaves,
God sees sweet flowers growing.”~Albert Laighton

Here is the wonderful chicken recipe I've been telling you about:

Mrs. Shidlers Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

 a recipe my sister gave me

~3 cans cream of chicken soup

~1 pint sour cream

~8 oz. diced green chilies

~1 lb. grated cheddar cheese (I usually use CoJack cheese)

~tortilla chips, broken

~2 - 3 chicken breasts, cooked and cut up

Combine soup, sour cream, chilies and chicken in a bowl.

Place layer of broken tortilla chips in bottom of 9x13" pan.

Spoon 1/2 of soup mixture over the chips.

Top with 1/2 of the cheese.

Repeat (chips - soup - cheese).

Bake at 325' for 30 minutes, uncovered.

Yum.

Not too many ingredients, and none of them hard to find.

Delicious.

What a great recipe!

Even Chef Pluto would approve!

“Spring makes its own statement,

So loud and clear that

The gardener seems to be only

One of the instruments,

Not the composer.”

-Geoffrey B. Charlesworth

Here is a paperdoll with lovely Little Bo Peep costumes:

A sweet Little Bo Peep Barbie.

I'm working on several projects right now. One of them is reverse decoupage glass plates. Another one is making cards with my kirigami cuttings.

I think we have finally gotten most of the kinks out of our computer vs. camera problems. Who knew a computer could be so snobbish as to not recognize my scanner or my camera downloads?

We finally bowed to the computer and purchased a printer/scanner/fax-in-one that it might deign to recognize.

It will let us know.

It reserves the right to refuse this acknowledgement at any time, with out previous notice.

I think the credit card companies are in cahoots with my computer.....

On that ducky note, I will bid you adieu.
