The March BWOF came this week, and I quickly flipped through to see if it would meet the standards that the January and February isses set... nope. Maybe it's just me, maybe it was the colors (grey, black, and khaki), maybe it was the distracting prints, but it something didn't "WOW" me the way the last 2 issues did. I did find some stuff I liked (like Dress 116, Skirt 104, Dress 102, and any of the trenchcoats!) but I'm super eager to see the April issue and the bridal fashions!
**********************************************
Which of the following is a sure sign that SPRING IS COMING?
a) I walked out of work today without a coat on and didn't freeze halfway to the car.
b) The talk of baseball practice starting next week at school.
c) Seeing motorcycles (4 to be exact) on the road today.
d) The kids played outside at school today without their snowpants on.
Answer: All of the above! Wasn't sure if we'd ever thaw out, but it looks like we made it. Of course, there is always one last big snow in April...
Oh, and if you're in the mood for a great book, take a look at "Second Glance" by Jodi Picoult. Great ghost story (not the scary kind!). Currently reading "Outliers" and I'm fascinated.

Thank you!
Yeah, the 03 BWOF didn't have much that interested me, either. That's how it is though, with BWOF, it is hit or miss. I mostly look at only the line drawings because some of the fabrications don't work for me at all (all those grey collections they've been doing!).
I know you've already gotten this, but I also nominated you (a little late) for the Sisterhood Award. Keep on sewin' :}
