When spring draws closer I feel like using flowers. Any sign of new life sprouting up makes me smile and walk with a little lighter steps. I feel hope that warmers days are just around the corner.
In our family we have a lot of birthdays during spring. From February to April there’s one birthday party after another. I’m not complaining, any excuse to see family is a good one.
The weekend is upon us once again. Not that I’m complaining about the work week going by quickly. Even though I love my job, I do love days off just a little bit more. 😉
We have plenty planned for the weekend. Celebrating my sister’s and nephew’s birthdays being the biggest event. Getting together with family is truly great and we’re lucky enough to have most family members pretty close by. Just a half hour drive or so away.
I wanted to make some matching cards and tags for their gifts. Something appropriate for both kids and adults. The rainbow theme definitely fit the bill. There’s something about rainbows. even now as an adult, knowing the science behind rainbows, they still FEEL magical. An everyday type of natures wonder and a bit of happines on a rainy day.
So, our week long winter break is over and things are back to normal around here. Which is nice too. I love my job and on Mondays I’m always full of enegy and ready to get the work week started. Later in the week both my student s and I tend to leak energy and slow down a bit. But each Monday, we’re back in full speed ahead again.
As in many jobs, we use a lot of post-its at work. Personally, I’m particularly fond of the brightly colored ones. The hot pink and orange ones are my favorites. 🙂 They pale yellow ones, not so much.
In this part of Sweden, we have one week of winter break this week, and it’s FANTASTIC! 😀 A full week off from work to spend time together, do fun things, relax and ………. clean the house. Yes, we’re squeezing in a bit of clening too. I’ve listened to “The life-changing magic of tidying up” by Mari Condo as an audiobook and feel super inspired to tidy every inch of our apartment. Cleaning has never been this fun before!
A week off from work also means my son having friends over and me getting some “me-time”, which for me means time to design. 🙂
