Are you ready for another postcard swap ??

Good morning , a snowy one here in Nova Scotia but what is new huh , we have so much snow it seems to always be the topic of conversation . As you know Easter and Spring are just around the corner and I am wondering if there is enough interest to have another postcard swap with the theme of either spring or Easter , since Easter is just a month away I will be giving you just three weeks to make and send that postcard , so the due date is March 23  , that gives you three full weeks and I think you can handle one little postcard in that time frame , what do you think ?? I must have the names , addresses , blogs as well as email information as soon as possible by email , please send it even if you have taken part in other swaps , it just makes my life so much easier .
Here is one I made last spring for an exchange . Think pretty flowers or bunnies or whatever Spring and Easter may mean to you  . Lets make this fun :-) 
 I have my first finish for March , my mini quilt , I only had to finish the embroidery and quilt it but at least it is done .
Thanks to Bunnyhill Designs for this sweet little pattern . 
On Thursday we had  visitors for supper and it just so happens it was a few days before Nila's birthday , Nila turned 10 on Saturday so I decided I needed to bake her a cake . I had asked her a long time ago what her favorite cake was so I made a marble cake . It turned out to be somewhat of a challenge as I was missing some of the ingredients and had to do some substitutions and had very little icing sugar so a thin covering was all I could muster up but it was delicious all the same and I think she was pretty pleased .

I didn't have any candles either , that is what happens when you don't know they are coming until the last minute ;-) 
 Time to run , my tummy is rumbling so time to eat . Have yourself a wonderful day and thanks so much for the stopping by .
 Hugs Sheila

    Hi Sheila, I'll be keen to swap again (will email)! Your mini is sweet and Nila does't look too worried by the thin icing! Happy Birthday to her :-)

    Your mini quilt is so cute! Is it a keeper or are you gifting it? Fun time with your precious Granddaughter. How nice!
    I am in for the postcard swap and I will pass along to some others I know...wink wink!

    Your granddaughter is certainly growing! I bet she enjoyed her cake......I won't commit to this swap (much as I would like to) because I won't be home for much of the time.

    A menininha é sua neta? Parabéns para ela! Certamente ela adorou o bolo feito com carinho pela vovó!
    É claro que quero trocar cartões! Eu peguei o vírus!
    Meus cartões chegarão antes do outono. Isto foi uma brincadeira com o tempo que eles demoram para chegar ai.
    Um abraço!

    The little girl is his granddaughter? Congratulations to her! Certainly she loved the cake made with love by Grandma!
    Of course I want to exchange cards! I caught the virus!
    My cards come before the fall. This was a play on the time they take to reach al.
    Hugs!
