This was a fun Garden Blessings Coloring Book page to color. It made me think of spring, cheerful colors, chirping birds, and my favorite early blooming flowers… especially those that tickle my nose with their fragrant delight… lilacs being my favorite! We are all attracted to things that smell good, aren’t we? But I have discovered that certain things that smell really sweet to…

I shared a little on my FB Page about how I used my own Color-Your-Own Bookmarks as Traceables or tracers in my Bible Journaling and wanted to follow up on that here and give this information a more permanent home.
