Disappointments...& A GIVEAWAY!

Spring has finally arrived and I am so thankful.  The temps are warming up, the birds are chirping and the grass turns more and more green each day.  This change in season always inspires me to change up our home décor.  I crave new accent colors to warm up the cool blues that dominate our home.

So when I was asked to be a part of a spring décor and giveaway post with 14 super talented bloggers, I jumped at the opportunity.  I thought this collaboration would give me the swift kick I needed to finish spring-ifying {yes, a new word} our home…a process I started here and here.

14 SPRING DECOR IDEAS

Well that was my plan, and unfortunately plans do not always go as expected.  My work schedule has been a bit hectic lately, which caused more stress and less time for me.  Booooo!!  Instead of making things even worse on myself out and cranking out something I didn’t love, just for content, I decided it would be best if I didn’t submit a project.  I know it’s a lame, but it’s the truth and I always promised to keep it real with you guys. :)

Buttttt, to show how much I love each and every one of you, I am still sponsoring the amazing $150 Tar-jay gift card giveaway!!  And I’m sharing 14 awesome spring projects below, so you can get your fill of eye candy for the day.  You must check them all out!

Hopefully we’re still friends… ;)

    What is it with this time of year? I feel like I don't have time to do anything and am always playing catch-up too!

      Ugh, I don't know! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way this time of year. It's so stressful!

    I know how it is to get sidetracked with other things! I can't wait to see what's happening in your house when you get to show it off =)
    It's hard to pick what my favorite is; I love it all! ;)

    Honestly, a huge pat on the back to you for putting your real life first and not giving yourself unnecessary stress! And I always seem to end up in the shoe section at Target :-)

    GOOD FOR YOU. Seriously, girl, you did what you needed to do and that's definitely more important than a project. Every Spring I try to get on top of life before it crushes me, but it seems like every year I fail. It's just nuts. I'm glad you're doing your best to stay sane!

    So...you're saying your spring project was "spring cleaning" your life of undue stress? Sounds pretty awesome to me!
