I know spring has begun when I see crocus and daffodils popping up all around, but I must say that my favorite part of spring, aside from rising temperatures of course, are the PINK TREES!!!! Blossoming cherry trees are just gorgeous in the springtime- and they're so fluffy!!! Love them. One day, I will have one in my yard. Today's Creative Tuesday piece is just a quick oil pastel drawing I did of my spring faves.
Thinking about this post also made me realize that I never posted a pic of the cute spring/Easter cupcakes I made last year! I figure that now is as good a time as any, sooooo...
This is the most adorable desert I've ever constructed! They make me smile.

Your drawing is very sweet too. I like the bright pink color and the daffodils. Oh just love daffodils in the spring! I had a cherry tree at my old house, and it bloomed right outside my window...i miss it!

No just about 50 really then went to college and became a nurse. Man have things changed in radiology and everything else, of course. Congrats on your new job and hope you do well. Blessings
