Preparing for Spring

I've been working on a little list of some of my favorite things I count on to get me through the cold winter months.  I'll be back a little later today to share those with you.  In the meantime, it's time to scheme and dream.  Grab a hot cup of tea, put your feet up and let's do a little spring planning.  For just a little while, we're going to banish old man winter and have some fun.

Once a month I have the pleasure of sharing the wonderful Sponsors who make BNOTP possible. They know we could all use a bit of spring right now, so they have been busy stocking their shops and filling their blogs with wonderful treasures for Valentine's Day parties, Mardi Gras and spring dining.  You'll find ideas for spring decorating and solutions for your spring cleaning.  And, once all the cleaning and decorating is done, you know it will be time for a vacation.  Don't forget to take along your favorite summer reading. The BNOTP sponsors have your back...it's all here below.
