Spring is on the Way

CIC150

When you start seeing cute little chickies and duckies instead of Santas and snowflakes it can only mean spring is on its way.  When I lived in the north it was a favorite time of year.  So I imagine there are many of you enjoying the first glimpses of budding flowers.  Just remember, as my mom used to remind me that you never know what kind of weather March is going to serve up and if you're planning to march in a St. Patrick's Day parade you could be wearing shorts or your heavy coat.  You might start with one and end in the other.

Well, these cuppie chickies are the inspiration for this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge.  This week we're sponsored by Prairie Fairy Designs .  They have generously supplied the design team with images.  If you're a fan of Gilly (who isn't) then you must check out the challenge blog because some of  the DT have used adorable Gilly images, just perfect for this time of year.  For me it was a bit of a struggle picking an image to use, I really do love Gilly and they were all great choices to use in this challenge but in the end  I decided on the Spring Ducks.  Of course that just means that some other day I'll have to use Gilly.  It all works out in the end.
