As a lady of a certain age I'd have to go for Spring. I have my own personal Summer going on with hot flushes so don't need any extra heat thank you!!
Using Toadstool for Two
Summer is my favourite; the long light days, the warmth of the sun and the garden looking its best (well, the best it is ever going to look!). I've made a summery themed oversized gift tag for today's creation, featuring some cute LOTV bunnies sitting on a toadstool, and added lots of flowers, both on the papers and the embellishments.
Definitely spring for me. I love the rebirth that comes with spring. Even in the land of "endless summer" where I live, you can tell when spring is here. I love all the wonderful vibrant colors of the newly blooming plants, flowers and trees.
I love both spring and summer. To choose one I think spring. It's the anticipation of some lovely warm weather to come. The bees are starting to appear to pollinate all the flowers, I love the hum of these busy workers and even more their honey.
I love all seasons, because they all have something special, but for this challenge I decided to go for summer, because I am really looking forward to it this year. I hope we have nice warm weather and sunshine.
Oooh, spring or summer - I love both but I've finally decided on summer. I love the sunshine (hopefully), the long light evenings and the school holidays!
It's Spring for me. I love it when the gardens start budding again, bulbs are coming through and all the little birds are busy building their nests. The older I get the less I like the heat of summer!
To be picky it's early Summer for me just when the garden is looking fresh and colourful and the lawn is still green and although the mornings and nights are lighter it is still comfortable enough to sleep without overheating!!
Absolutely Spring for me, happy birds, flowers bobbing in a light breeze, sunshine but not too hot, bumble bees bumbling (thankfully no wasps), baby animals popping out all over the place. Perfect.
Spring is my favorite of these 2 seasons. I can enjoy the birds singing in the early morning or late afternoon. And of course also the colorful fields with tulips and hyacinths and the wonderful scent of these flowers.
So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.
Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.
Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
