Spring Decor Giveaway

I love when the seasons change.

Okay, with an ice storm and 30 degree weather still here in Mid-Michigan I’m not sure spring actually got the memo that this past Sunday was its official first day. However, I am gonna think positive and offer a spring decor giveaway anyway!

Here is a peek into a little of our spring decor. (If you click on any of the images, they will enlarge.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our fireplace mantle. Most of the decor came from last year’s clearance section of TJ Maxx. :-)

Our dining room table complete with the cross our neighbor Ryan made when he was 5. He is now a 25 year-old father & a soldier in the US army. (If you’ve heard me tell the story of the little boy and his hand-me-down Schwinn bike, that was Ryan!)

The starting of my herb garden—basil & parsley—perched on my kitchen sink, along with a 75% off scarlet mini-rose leftover from Valentines Day. It will go perfect in our fairy garden of miniature plants.

I’ll spare you the picture of the pastel plastic chicken the boys have on the basement coffee table in their man cave. When you press his head, he lays a jelly bean!!

Now, to inspire one of you to get your spring on, here is this weekend’s giveaway. It includes:

~Some Bath & Body Works thick hand cream in my signature spring scent~ Butterfly Flower. (Yes, I have a scent for each season just like I usually only burn candles that smell like the current season too! I’m weird like that.)

~Speaking of candles, it also includes two wax melting tarts from Yankee candle in the scent ‘splash of spring’.

~ A bag of Choxie dark & milk chocolate caramels

~ A $10 Target card for you to purchase a new spring decor item for your home.

~A personalized copy of my hospitality book A Life That Says Welcome: Simple Ways to Open Your Heart & Home to Others. Lot of decorating ideas in there and some spring cleaning & de-junking methods too!

One winner will be selected from those who leave a comment on this post. So, tell us–how do you like to decorate for spring? Or if time is tight, simply say, “I’m in!” Winner will be chosen randomly.

Well, I’m headed out-of-state to my son’s baseball games.

I’ll be the one on the sideline, sipping a hot latte, yelling for the team & trying not to freeze!

Sweet Blessings,

  1. Karen, it was Spring Break this week and my 15 year old grandson (who loves to decorate,yes he does!) came and spent the night with us. He made sure I put away all my snowmen and MADE me decorate for Spring, complete with Bunnies, chicks, and crosses!! He is such fun and I adore him. He makes me organize!!
    Happy Spring!!

  2. I love to pick up a $4 bunch of hot pink carnations to add a touch of spring and brighten everything up!

  3. whoo hoo! for Spring, sun, and bright colors!

    all of my life I’ve been a neutral-colored-kind-of-girl. now that I live in Alaska, with its cold seasons and foot-draggin’ Spring, and now that I have a house full of little boys fighting dark moods and dark days… i’m slowly learning to throw color into my heart and home!

    i love you ideas. i need all the help i can get! :)

  4. Time for my BeeSkeps, Birdhouses and Lighthouses to come back out yee haw!! Thyme for herbs, blossoms and blessings of Sonshine ….and I love how your decorated that mantal. Very nice!

  5. Easter usually kicks me into gear for decorating for spring.
    This year we have a Resurrection Tree, maybe we should call it a Resurrection shrub because we are using a very beautifl, bloomed Forsynthia shrub as the “tree”. Adorned with Easter ornaments that the kids paint/color and pertain to the season.
    The Forsynthia was such a hit I am now potting other spring time flowers and placing them throughout the home.
    I can really say the house does look & smell like spring :) And I will especially need it to because this weekend we are expecting snow in Old Virginia!

  6. We just sold our home and are renting while we look for a new one. Definitely need some spring decorations to be happening amongst all the boxes. Thanks for this reminder for me to slow down and make the place more joyful even if it is temporary. :)

  7. I love to burn candles, any cookie or sweet scent,decorate my kitchen and living room with primitive yard sale finds,mixed with new spring items from the dolar store,open up my front door and look at my fresh cut lawn and listen to the birds sing and feel the breeze with the scent of my candles burning!!!!!!!1

  8. I would love to read your hospitality book. I am enjoying spring very much! I can’t wait for the lilacs to bloom so I can bring blossoms inside!

  9. As far as iam concernd spring is here every day i find a new ray of sun in the coldest and darkest of days with crists promises he that belive in me and when my irises come up my daddy gave me before he passed

  10. I’m in! Thanks for your wonderful ideas for spring. I’ve been stuck in a rut and look forward to planting herbs and washing windows.

  11. I am in!!! To welcome Spring, I love opening the windows, turning up KLOVE, cleaning house, planting plants, playing with my granddaughter, etc.

  12. I clean everything I can. I like to go outside and see how the plants are waking up from a long winter. Spring is a special time of the year..

  13. Spring is my favorite time. I love the miracle of spring…when you drive down the street one day and the trees are bare and all of a sudden you look and you see the beautiful green archway of spring. The colorful flowers and the hyacinths, my favorite, make me smile. I start wearing flip flops and capris…and just feel free. My favorite service of the church year is Easter. The music and the smell of the lilies. You get so caught up it makes you cry.

  14. Rain, Rain, and more rain… here in the Northwest!!
    But my daffodil’s are waving at me everyday with their bright shiny ways!!!
