Recently we experienced beautiful Spring weather. But lately Mother Nature has decided that she wasn’t quite ready to hang around.
If I glance out the window it looks so sunny and Spring like, but walk outside and it’s a different story.
The wind has been blowing and there is a chill in the air. It has even sprinkled a bit of snow from time to time.
I decided that If I wanted Spring to hang around that maybe I needed to do a little coaxing.
I have had the kit to make this banner for a while. Kraft paper pennants, assorted paper punched flowers, bakers twine, and a few rhinestones…Welcome Spring!
This wooden Spring word had become faded. It really didn’t say welcome.
A little Mod Podge and glitter. . .
Welcome Spring!
While I was at it I added my stained glass butterfly that my friend, Joyce gave me for my birthday last year.
And a few Spring posies.
What do you think Mother Nature? Ready to come back?
hugs,
Jann

That little banner is really, really cute, Jann, and so is the word SPRING. Hope you had a great day-xo Diana
Each decoration is wonderful - loved the yellow forsythia on the door! So glad you shared at "Open House".
Love your Spring banner and the Spring wreath!! It felt like summer here today...80 degrees, but tomorrow it is only going to be 47 degrees. Brrr....
hugs,
Cindy

This year we need all the faux spring we can get! Thankfully, I won your Spring montage. Temps hit the 80's here today but we have the chance of snow on the weekend. Crazy weather!
Spring has definitely sprung at your house. Love all the signs of spring.
Love that banner !! The flowers on it are just too cute ! Great job on the glittering of spring :) makes it brand new ! Have a great weekend Jann !
Oh, I know what you mean about the weather! We've lived in the Chicago area for almost 11 years and this is the first April where snow has fallen! And now the torrential rains! Yikes! So glad I found your blog and look forward to seeing all the touches you make to your home! I am now your newest follower! If you have a moment I would love for you to drop on by mine.. sit a spell and I'll make us some tea to sip while we get to know each other!!!
Oh Jann, how beautiful! You have inspired me to start decorating for Spring. We have had snow all week so it feels more like Winter. Thanks for sharing :)
Hugs to you,
Stephanie
The weather can't make up its mind around here either. I am hoping for sunny skies and warmer weather soon. Have a great weekend!

I hope the coaxing works! Spring is being evasive for us as well.
Lovely spring touches!! Your banner is adorable! Have a great weekend!~~Angela
I love your spring banner and I hope spring will hear us... Because here we're back to cold temperatures and the wind is getting on my nerves.
I love it! It can't hurt to try to coax mother nature along a bit :) Have a great weekend!
Did all your spring things make it warmer?? We saw a few snow flurried today and it is cold. I am impatient for nice weather!!! Nancy
I love how you painted the spring on your wreath! Very cute! I am a new follower from southern charm! I would love for you to stop by my blog and hopefully follow me back. Have a great weekend! Nicole
Hi Jann,
I love how you transformed your Spring with Mod Podge and glitter. Maddie has a letter M that she would like to try that with. Can you give us a little walk thru on how you did yours? We are Mod Podge newbies.
Have a great weekend,
Erica
Thanks for reminding me that banners are not just for birthdays. Thanks for sharing.
Spring is cute at your house! We went from Tucson winter to early Summer..can get boring. Thanks for sharing the happiness at your place.

Jann,
Your spring banner and wreath are delightful. I used to have a wreath on my front door many years ago, and I really miss it. I will have to be creative and make myself another one.
Have a lovely Sunday.

I hope that Spring will stay around for a while for you soon! Isn't Mother Nature a tease!
Best wishes,

Oh, Jann...Everything looks so pretty. I love your blossom covered swag. I have yet to make a swag for myself...and, yours inspires me to get busy and make one.
Don't you just love breathing new life into something that you already have? Your SPRING wreath is lovely. I love the bright yellow blossoms.
I'm just tickled to be able to visit you on this lovely Spring day.
Blessings and fond friendship,
Carolynn xoxo
