SPT- Remember Me



I picked this flower from my garden to give to you, Lelly- if only through my SPT.

I want you to know that I will miss you while you are away. I love the creative and challenging ideas you give us each week. They have made me stretch and think; they have helped me love and appreciate; they have enriched my life!

I know that life is crazy busy. Whatever requires your attention right now will be improved and blessed by your creativity, generosity, enthusiasm, and love. And when you come back- it will be brilliant and beautiful, just like the first spring flowers when they return after a bleak winter.

I will remember YOU! And I will be thinking of you until your return!



{addendum: My husband told me in my sleepy, just waking moments that school was canceled today because of all the snow. With shock and concern in my voice I tried to comprehend, "It snowed?!!"


"APRIL FOOLS!"

As I took my self portrait, I briefly thought how funny it was that Lelly hadn't picked a challenge to go along with the day-

Fooled again!

Although I mean every word of my post and am relieved that she will continue to issue SPT challenges, I am on the verge of cursing those who are getting their laughs at my expense today. "Laugh it up, fuzzball," expresses my mood pretty well.}

So, I'm blog stocking and landed on yours. I was so interested in how people reacted to Lelly's news...I usually do not roam the spt-ers, but really enjoyed your cute post and your blog.

So fun - very creative with the flower...I was totally fooled with this joke of miss lelly's as well!

My blog is private...but send me your email and I'll let you check me out courtneymilius@hotmail.com.

I love your flowers, and what you wrote will be so nice for Lelly to keep!

Such a nice post for Lelly...and such a relief that it was all just a joke!

I'm on the road traveling right now and didn't do the SPT this week...maybe I was just rebelling against her news of her hiatis!?! I'll try and make it up tomorrow!

I think your post is very endearing and your photos beautiful. I would have been fooled too.

I'm glad it didn't snow that much.

Love the post and I love the pictures, they are so creative. My husband is such a star wars fan, so I know that line well.
I should have used it on him for all the jokes he pulled on me.

What?! I could have sworn I already commented on this post! I love love love these pictures you took with the iris -- you look so pretty and I love the varying point of view. And I especially loved "laugh it up, Fuzzball!". Ah, Han Solo.
