Spring has Sprung and My First Giveaway

I was so excited to see my daffodils blooming yesterday! Finally!! 

I'd say that over half of them are blooming!



Here's what it looked like just a few days ago:


And today?  The whole area is covered in 6" of snow!!  UGH!!!  (Sorry, no picture of the snow.  I don't want to know just yet if the blooms are damaged...)


I recently hit the 150 followers mark and am so excited!  I decided that I would celebrate by having a giveaway.  I'm giving away this birdcage pillow and dishtowel to one lucky reader.  I made both using graphics from The Graphics Fairy.  I  am excited for them to have a new home!





So to have a chance to win both the pillow and dishtowel:


1) Leave a comment on this post. 
2) If you're not already following me, I'd love it if you would start following.
3) Make sure your email address is available either via your blog or in the comment.
4) US addresses only
5) I will draw the winner on Saturday, April 9th at 5pm Mountain Time

Thanks so much for coming by!   Good luck on the giveaway!


Pam

    Your daffodils are so pretty. I have tulips and every year I say I'm going to plant daffodils and I never do it! We have dropped 40 degrees from yesterday and have 10 more to drop they say. No snow, but thunderstorms and just ugly weather! Yesterday was perfect. I guess this is spring!

    What a wonderful giveaway. I would love to be included.
