Spring flowers, start with the plug in flower scent, to fresh flowers, plant bulbs, seeds and bare root roses. The smell help me to start cleaning, organizing, planting and crafting spring things.
I spring clkean when gets warm here. I love your site very much
I do a deep clean of everything and go through all closets and drawers take inventory and take out things that are not being used, don’t fit or don’t serve a purpose for our family any longer.
Mainly put up winter clothes. I love it when I can open up doors and windows to air out the house! Then purge the junk that has built up over the winter, especially on my porch.
This is so perfect for living in the -15 days and nights!!! I would love to have this!
Thank you for the oppertunity to win this! 🙂
First, here in Maine, we wait for the snow to melt. Then, we start by moving the sand and salt buckets from the mud room to the garage. After that we store the snow shovels in the shed and take out the lawn furniture and garden tools. If the mud has dried sufficiently we change the snow mats inside the door for the throw rugs, and starting with tulips we get to have fresh cut flowers again! We also get to take down the thermal curtains and put up curtains that let light in again!
i change the calendar page!
My husband and I set aside a day, kid free (big thanks to close by relatives), that allows us to give the house a good dusting and cleaning. Then, if there’s extra time that day or we talked the relatives into a sleepover, we start packing up any winter clothes or items & pull out the warmer weather clothes and decorations.
I transition my home from winter to spring by changing the cushions and adding spring colors into my decor. Diy throw pillows are the best!
Spring! Oh that word just makes me happy. When spring rolls around I get all sorts of ideas of organization and a home and yard that is in complete order. A place for everything and everything in it’s place as I always say. Who am I kidding?? I know how this will turn out. I’ll pick up a few things then I’ll come across a shiny something or another that I had “good intentions” for when I bought it. My mind will start racing I’ll get a fevered sweat across my brow I’ll go grab my liquid fusion some shell or yarn or beads or paints OH MY THE POSSIBILTIES ARE ENDLESS!!!!!!!!!! There I lay in a pile of glitter with glue and tissue paper stuck in my hair, panting exhaustedly I vow to spring clean. Under my breath I chuckle “as soon as I craft” LOL
What an exciting prize! My fingers are just itching to see what I can make with all these great supplies!
Im going to have a huge sale in August.Need to get rid of a lot of st uff.I cant wait for spring to get here.
I try to do some traditional deep cleaning. Clean out closets, get rid of clutter, find homes for anything that doesn’t have one (or it’s old home simply didn’t work). I also try to find a couple of bags to donate. Thanks for the giveaway!
I reorganized my sewing/craft room to get ready for some spring activities in there! {also organized all our Christmas papers, ribbons, bags, boxes & tags. That will make me happy next yr!}
In my home we clean and clear out our winter clothes, clean all the clutter out of our home as we do our spring cleaning, open our windows and doors for some warmer fresh air to air out our home and make sure to change out our winter bed clothes to spring ones. Once done my children and I always make some spring decorations to place around the house helping to keep us in a great mood!
Well, in Ohio there is never a grand demarcation between one day and another when the calendar rolls over to “Spring” – so cold and snow linger, but I delve into colorful crafts and pastel colors, and of course, the elements of Spring that we all recall: baby animals, birdies singing, fresh colors and cleaning around the house. 🙂
In North Texas we transition from winter into spring by taking the blanket off the bed..lol
Where I live in California we don’t get much of winter so for us it is mostly swapping our boots and shoes out of the bin by the front door with flip flops! 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway!
Put the sweaters, sweat pants and coats in the storage containers in the basement and bring out the shorts and T-Shirts. Also, ready the flowerbeds for the plants and flowers.
Here in south Texas, not too much transition is needed fortunately! But we definitely do some cleaning and re-organizing, and switch out heavy winter clothes for light summer clothes in the closets. We try to clear out unneeded stuff (especially from the holidays) for donations as well. After that it’s the fun part, decorating with pretty spring colors and designs!
(Email is alh2027 AT gmail DOT com)
We wash and store winter clothes, do a thorough cleaning of floors, walls and windows. Bring out spring/summer clothes. And then throw open the windows and let the fresh air in! I also start seedlings of certain plants to get a head start for our way too short growing season.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this lovely assortment of supplies!
Turn off the heat and open up the windows 😀
Once school is out, I do a great spring cleaning top to bottom and make it sparkly.
With 3 granddaughters living here they love to do crafts so this would be awesome to win!
We do Spring Cleaning…in yard & flower beds too! lol Bright fresh pillow covers on couch pillows…switch the Throws..to lighter & more Spring/Summer prints. Plant fresh flower seeds…& get garden ready too. Spring is busy round here! Loooove the freedom to outside..open windows…Yay!
We have a large yard sale to clear out clutter and pack other things into our storage unit.
transition my home from winter to spring by cleaning, dusting, and putting away clutter until I find something that goes into the craft room. do craft – home deco, handmade cards, scrapbooking ect. Back to cleaning then dog for walk, trash out, find something that can be upcycled back to craft room. Oh you get the idea.
I like to clean out the flower beds and change the outdoor flags to spring images!
I would just love to give this to my twin daughters who have been such a help and an encouragement to me over the last 17 years!! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
air out all the blankets and pack them away, air out the house and then everything moves outdoors! fresh flowers come in, curtains get changed over from thermal to gauze, then my kids drag all of nature into the house for their treasure boxes! i love spring!
Transitioning the house from winter to spring involves purging items that are no longer loved or used on a regular basis, from toys to clothes to household items. I also like to do a deep cleaning of the whole house – windows, wash curtains, steam clean rugs, etc. It’s a nice way to ‘out with the old staleness and in with the new freshness of the year’ type of cleaning. A great time to get the garden ready for new beds and blooms too. We usually empty the old compost and start a new one for the year.
I start getting “warmer weather” clothes out (we live in Indiana).My favorite thing is to put out winter coats and snow boots away. I start burning more fruity scented candles. I let the “spring cleaning bug” bit me. I also begin planning any landscaping projects and summer vacations. As soon as it’s warm enough I open windows. I begin checking my irises everyday starting mid April…there’s always so much to look forward to when the days get longer and the weather gets warmer.
Throwing out the dark shades and adding lighter and brighter shades with pink and red flowers; Painting the walls a baby blue and adding more space to the room to allow the sun to shine through.
I clean the whole house thoroughly. I like to go through clothes, my pantry, and other usually overlooked places and either donate or (if it’s no good) recycle/throw out things I don’t need. I also like to brighten up my house with colorful accessories like throw pillows on blankets. I try to do this in the winter too, but somehow it never works out.
Make my flip-flops readily available 🙂
I definitely clean first because after a long cold Jersey winter of being stuck in the house everyday it sure could use a good scrub. I try to incorporate more colors and open the shades more to let the spring sunlight in 🙂
I switch out winter decorations for flowers and brighter colors
Open up the windows and let in the fresh air. Head out to the deck for lunch. Anything to get the outdoors in.
I could really put these to good use on some fresh ideas for my home. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Never would have thought of using a lazy susan for supplies! Cute!
I go thru drawers and closets pack away winter stuff and maybe toss a few items or repurse things I haven’t worn then I take may summer stuff out of storage and put it away noting what I might like to make to match what I have
I am currently working on decluttering my house and have donated boxes and boxes of “stuff” that just caused a huge amount of clutter. At first I thought it would be difficult to part with all of the “stuff” but it got easier the more I was able to stuff into boxes. Now there is more room to put things away, everything is starting to have its own home (neat and tidy home).
organization is always much more fun when you upycle and create to make something useful
Open the windows and hang the bedding outside to get the fresh smell into the house. Have the grand daughters come over to make new items to put in the garden and to decorate the front of the house starting with Easter.
I like to go into spring with a clean and organized house and craft room. I go through all my craft supplies and fabrics, sorting through what I will use and what I won’t. Some of the items I donate to charity and some I keep and sell at a garage sale. I wash all the floors,walls, baseboards and drapes. I paint rooms that need painting and put out fresh and light bedding in preparation of the warm summer months. I clean up in the yard and flower beds so I can enjoy the flowers over the summer. In my craft room I reorganize my supplies so they are more accessible since I gleaned out some. I get projects ready to do for the spring and summer. I can then sit outside and enjoy the warmer days.
Open the windows and hang the bedding outside to get the fresh smell into the house. Have the granddaughters over to do crafts for the garden and in front of the house starting with Easter.
I have a rule about things in my hose, and it applies to not only clothes but pretty much everything…. If it hasn’t been used in 12 months get rid of it! The warmer weather starts us going through everything in the house. Once that’s done we all pick a room and clean from top to bottom. Any painting get done by me while my husband checks the roof, shutters etc.. once the house is done we get to our favorite the flowers and garden!
Open the windows plant flowers and listen to the songs of the birds
I love to walk through yard & see the new flowers & leaves , & new smells. When we open our house. Do some spring cleaning. The smells from out side & the clean smells from inside is just alsome. It makes you feel relaxed & fresh inside & out.
My transition from winter to spring, is usually gathering all the camping equipment that i repaired in the winter, and putting it in the garage ready for summer, along with fishing gear. Any bikes, or childrens toys that were repaired back into the garage. Set a yard sale date, for all the items that I went thru, inventoried, and marked during winter that are no longer needed. Or put some items on a yard sale site. Open up the windows, change out filters in furnance and vacumn it out. Check and change batteries in smoke detectors. Put away snow shovels, and salt. Get out the lawn mowers and repair what may be needed on them. Do a thorough cleaning on the cars, inside and out.. Open up the windows, and screen doors to air out the house.. Get the steam cleaner out on the carpets.. pull out appliances, and clean behind them.. Check for any damages to house; and trees during winter and deal with it.. Call it a day, and treat myself to a movie or shopping trip! LOL
Spring can still be chilly but the warmer sunshine is most welcome and the curtains get opened, taken down and washed. On the warmest days, anything above 60 the window gets left open with the storm windows put up and the screens down, so my kitty and the house can get some fresh air.
I jump start my garden indoors with grow lights. I go through closets and donate anything not being used and wash the winter grime from the windows!
I switch out all my winter decorations with springy ones and i wash all the curtains and open the windows to air out.
WOW! What great ideas – love it!
I pack up all the sweaters and coats, hats and scarves, then unpack the tank tops and shorts.
It has been a L-O-N-G winter, so as soon as the weather warms up some, I will open some windows to let the fresh smell of spring air fill the house. Plus spring cleaning and putting away the winter sweaters to break out the warmer weather clothing.
Spring flowers. Usually Daisys and Daffodils. Then I start cleaning my house, top to bottom, throwing out anything that I haven’t touched in six months.
I love the smell of the springs fresh air. I open all the windows in my house and listen to the beautiful creatures god has given us as I clean my home.
I do a spring clean-up 🙂 I would love to incorporate a new tradition and do some recycling with the fantastic Give-a-way you have planned. Thank you for the chance to win 🙂
I purge and organize what I will do with the stuff I am moving out of the house.
I clean the patio and get garden ready for seeds. And clean the kayaks and bikes ,as I hibernate through the winter.
I really really need to win this
We don’t really get a spring–it seems to go from winter to summer here, and you never know when it will happen (snow during Memorial Day BBQs happens frequently), so I change out the decorations to make it spring inside at least and put spring backdrops on my computer
Spring means it’s time for a yard sale, to get rid of the things that I have gathered together over the winter from cleaning cabinets and closets. Thanks for the offer.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming! Let’s put bright table mats and tableware, and throw rugs around the house, change to “bright light” light bulbs, start the vegetable and flower seeds indoors. Also (not my favorite)-let’s start the Spring cleaning.
Looking forward to the chance to win!! Thank you!! 🙂
We start by organizing clothes first. Nothing feels like spring until you put away the heavy winter clothes up and bring out the lighter brighter clothes. We also go and reorganize closets and shelves. We reuse cardboard boxes to cut cost and recycle. This helps give a fresh start to the year.
I love spring, the transformation has already begun. I changed the linens, towels and curtains to bright spring colors, add in some fresh cut flowers and some colorful throw pillows. I live in an apartment so I get my balcony ready for the planters and hanging baskets, hang the wind chimes and sun-catchers. The windows are opened and the birds are singing what more can a person ask for…..
Open Windows to let the fresh Spring Air in, getting all the Odds and Ends together, anything that is too big or too small and waiting for the call for the free Pick up for the Childrens Wish Foundation.
For spring we start marking all the blooms that come popping up in the garden. New bulbs seem to pop up every year. We also air out the house every day that we can. Painting rooms, I start my lapidary since I can be outside and my glass studio warms up enough to make it possible to spend time in there too.
I create new wreath for front door that represents spring, do a good deep clean to get rid of musty winterness and we get the boat ready for salmon fishing.
Living in FL there is not much of a change in seasons…lol. I do like to wash my windows, clean tops of door mouldings and ceiling fans. Right before spring and fall clean out closets of seasonal clothing that doesn’t fit or beyond repair. Clean the pool, scrub patio furniture and add some new plantings.
This would be the best gift to receive, i do my transition in end of March ,little bits at a time until i get all done.
These are awesome ideas for my new craft and scrapbooking room when I get to my new home in Orlano, Florida.Thanks for the great ideas storage and space arrangement.
I so love your site…and visit everyday to see what amazing creations are to be found. I would love to help y you spring clean….I am constantly re-organizing and could use some new goodies to ponder their locations.
Very carefully.
I am so looking forward to spring!!!!!! No more cold . With spring comes spring cleaning and sorting out, and I am actually looking forward to doing that. Thank you for a chance to win some very nice things to help.
I get to the top and bottom of closets. Start bringing out the yellows, blues, and reds for decorations. Change to Spring bedding. Make new curtains. Plant the gardens. And, wait for everything to blend together.
I change wreaths and decor and throw rugs. I’m so ready for spring I start early march to cheer up the place.
Fixing up the yard problems that I didn’t get to before winter covered over everything with snow.
Since winter is my least favorite season, the arrival of spring is celebrated like Christmas! The garden seedlings are planted; the house is cleaned from top to bottom; and sunny, bright decor is added to each room. I am ready for spring!
I’ve already started.
This year I painted with some serious color, and added insulating blinds to 2 windows.
I added a splash of strong color on one wall in the living room, changed the art on the walls, and now I’m painting the master bedroom purple (yep), and I’m going to get some nice shades to fit inside the freshly painted trim. I did the same thing last year with a change to a summery tint of blue to walls and ceiling in my son’s room, and replaced the old curtains with vertical blinds for a more “grown up” look. Nothing original there, but he loved it, and his happiness made my day/ week/ season.
Everything looks nicer with a new coat of paint, and this year I went for a cheerful effect with vibrant spring colors.That purple is perfect., but everyone who’s seen it in process, has wanted to know the name of the color and brand of paint,. and i haven’t even found the right fabric or a store-bought bedcover to set it off yet .
So much for thinking it would be an off-beat choice for a unique look. . .
I am ready for warmer weather. I spent the winter organizing my crafts supplies and getting ready for VBS in July. Thank you for having this contest. All of those supplies can and will be used by me in one way or another. God bless you all.
winter coats and shoes dissapear and are replaced by hoodies and summer shoes, dirt is being tracked in from working in the garden, and windows are opened to allow in fresh air, bedding is washed and air dried, and spring cleaning is also in effect.
I started two weeks ago ” spring Fever set in ” LOL
I start one room at a time , taking everything off the walls & removing the curtains . Everything gets washed from top to bottom , removing that dry air sent and bring in the fresh scent of Spring . Windows are washed inside & out , allowing sunbeams to shine through on the recycled plastic bottle flowers that will hang in windows . I have a long ivy plant that stands in the middle of the window and is draped over my curtain pole that help make my plastic flowers look as if they are blooming off a real plant . i have a crocheted white with yellow roses couch cover i love and helps make a spring ‘ feeling . Every day , i check online in Favecrafts , for uplifting ways to recycle anything before throwing away and ways to add a touch of brightness into my life &home . Found some ways to decorate up old flower pots and plan to use some of these idea’s then go find & buy some indoor plants for each one.
Wash the windows and normal cleaning.
I love to do a deep clean of my house on a day I can open the windows and let the clean fresh air flow through!
I first do a complete deep clean of each room. Once that is done I put in some spring color accents in the room. Along with planting some starting some seeds to be ready for planting. Spring is my favorite time of year since it brings the start of warmer weather and lots of colors.
I change out the flannel sheets for the cotton ones. Change the heavy winter drapes for the lighter spring one. I bring in the fresh flowers and greenery. And of course there is the spring cleaning.
oh Wow!!!!! such a great prize its the perfect wedding gift for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just LOVEEEEEEEEEE to Craft and when theres a big mess anywhere (especially in the kitchen) i could do with a good and quick clean up. My mum and future mother in law would be soooooooooo happy !!!!!!!!!!
Especially with spring coming!!!
Here in the AZ valley there isn’t too much difference between Winter and Spring but I do put out the Colors popular for Easter and that gives a different feel to the season, thanks!!
I decorate with Spring silk flowers and Easter decorations, light Lilac-scented candles, and clean up my enclosed patio, so we can have dinner out there on the first warm weekend of spring!
We’re still shovelling snow here, and bundling against wicked windchill. But today is March 1, or The First Day of Not-February, which this year should be a huge holiday. So this evening I’m going to find my clippers. Tomorrow I will put on all my outside stuff and wade through the thigh-high snow to my forsythia bush, where I will cut some branches to bring inside. I cut some every year; I put them in water, and after a few days or so, the “sticks” are covered with yellow flowers. A promise of spring!! The winter-to-spring housework can wait!
Go through the winter clothes to put up and get out summer clothes, donate what we don’t use anymore. Wash carpet and walls. Then take all the big bird cages outside for a good wash down.
I love trying new crafts and anything for free makes it all the better!
My partner and I both have to walk with canes, so our spring cleaning seems to take forever. My granddaughter has left glue, paint, etc. hidden away with the tops off from some wonderful project this winter. It usually takes me a full day just to clean her craft area. Mine is done in bits and pieces. With the sun shinning and the windows open, it is much better than having to put away stuff for winter. This prize would make it so easy to replace things rather than having to go into town shopping!
Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Winter gear gets put away and spring stuff is brought out, Everything gets cleaned out, dusted, thrown away if not needed, and hope no crazy snowfall comes that sends me digging out the winter gear again!
I have a huge project this Spring I am creating my first craft room. My head is full of ideas! I can hardly wait to get started and I want to do it right from the start. Storage, work areas and lighting!
Open up all the windows + air out the house. Clean the house, put away the shovels + boots. Decorate for Easter.
I switch out the flannel sheets and winter clothes for lighter stuff. Then we open the windows and let the fresh air permeate every space, driving out the winter blahs.
Open the windows and let the Spring air in ! Take out the patio furniture …
Thanks for the giveaway
I start spring with tulips and daffidodils in the house then cleaning the windows. then I take one room at a time and deep clean EVERYTHING! then I can start getting the camping gear ready.
Spring starts by cleaning up the last bit of dry leaves from the shrubs, cleaning windows, planting primroses and a pot of daffodils for the kitchen, can’t wait!
I start to do crafts for Easter…..its gets me in a “spring” mood.
Usually “spring” still means snow, but To transition my house, I’ll change the curtains to light flowery ones, do some spring cleaning, change to thinner sheets, flowery bedspread. Then when it finally warms up, I’ll pick flowers and blossoms and bring them in. I love spring and the promise of new beginnings.
Do a deep cleaning and organizing to the house. Bring in spring flowers.
Living in Florida makes it easy–I’m already in shorts & sandals waiting to turn on the AC.
Organize and deep clean the house. Add spring flowers in vases and wreathes.
Start seedlings and enjoy the early blooms of daffodils while packing up winter clothing. I enjoy looking at seed catalogs dreaming of all the crafts I can create from my garden offerings.
I live in South Texas so I turn off the furnace, air the house out for a day clean the windows and turn on the air conditioner.
Open up the windows, let in the air. Ignore those dark colors in my crafts…bring out the aquas and the limes and the pinks
As soon as the temperature is over 65 I open the windows and let in the fresh air. Airing out comforters, blankets, rugs and dog beds in the spring air and sun is always a must. Next trimming of blueberry bushes is important for the next crop. At the end of the day I always sit in the sun for a few relaxing minutes.
I give the main rooms and the master bedroom a good cleaning. Open windows. Then try to clean and organize closets. Winter clothing is cleaned, repaired and if still fits put away for another season. If to small made ready to past on to someone else who can use it.
Just opening a window on a warm spring day to let the fresh air in and changing the dark curtains and slip covers to lighter ones make my spring.
Open the windows and door and let the fresh sweet spring air usher out the old stale winter air and trapped smells.
Having my Grandchildren for Spring Break !!!!!!!!!!!!. Doing crafts, going to the park for picnic’s, spending the best time of my life with them. What more could I ask for !!!!!!! 🙂 🙂
Soon as the snow melts and spring is in the air we pull our travel trailer out and start loading it with everything we need for camping. Since we camp for long periods of time I always take my crafts supplies with me. I love sitting outside crocheting, painting, making dream catchers or whatever craft I discover at the time. The seasonal campers love it as well since they usually benefit from it..Lol. Anyway, that’s how we transition and are looking forward to it soon, it’s been a long cold winter and winning this would help in my quest to fill my craft totes with lots if new things. Thanks so much and “Happy Spring”
I take a deep breath, put some tunes on the IPOD and start in by stowing away the winter projects, yarns and fabrics. Dig out the spring and summer projects and materials which gets me enthused about the new seasonal things I can make!
Clean out closets, dust shelves and my many knick-knacks, prepare seeds for the garden and go for a long walk. I like to use willow sprigs for crafts so I clip those at this time. Change out snowman figurines for bunnies and baskets. Love Easter and spring time!
Switch from winter to spring crafts–who has time to clean? 😉
Can hardly wait to remove the rubber backed matts that are arranged on our carpets through out the house, open up the thermal drapes and let some natural light in. The snow will stay for a while yet, today it’s flecked with mica like fresh snow and quite lovely. I will begin crafting if I receive this kit, I’ve never used sculpey clay before, and can’t wait to try making some jewelry with bright spring colors.
I have a fantasy of spring cleaning… Washing curtains, dusting, cleaning out closets, the whole nine yards… But I have an eight month old, so I don’t know how far I will get! I definitely can’t wait to get outside and do some gardening… And fresh flowers!!
When spring is finally here I put the boots away, take the heavy quilt off the bed and start allergy medications.
Bright colored accessories.
The best part of the spring and summer time is cooler clothes! I move all the winter items to the back and the cool summer items to the front. It is a wonderful time!
Spring means baby chicks this year, get them every 2-3 years. Planting flowers, starting seeds, planing for the summer months and also for location of bird feeders for fall/winter.Cutting grass, testing the monarchs/tagging them, counting birds..all year round, feeding hummers and making sure there are lots of milkweed plants for the butterfles.
We start spring with lots of flowers and out door crafts!!!
I start my garden seeds, as the pop their tiny heads out of the soil mix, I know spring is close.
Out go the heavy drapes, up go the spring valances. I replace the shower curtains and bathroom
curtains with springy ones and the flower wreaths make their appearance all over the house. I’ve already started forcing forsythias and apple blossoms. Ahhh Spring.
I gather all the give away bags full of cloths and dop them off at goodwill.
I also go through the house with three bins trash,giveaway,keep .
Reduce,reuse,recycle is my personal motto.
Easy change. Turn off the heat and turn on the A/C. That usually happens fairly early in Texas.
Open all the windows and let the fresh air in!
I love free give aways, Thx!
I fluctuate between going all out to clean and transition all the winter things into the closet and spring and summer things on display or going with the flow and enjoying the outside weather by sitting out in the sun. I am inconsistent; I’ll go all out or get what needs doing done eventually. Of course, if I win the goodies, all bets are off. Fun first.
Even before the last bit of snow melts, I’m itching for Spring. I start gazing at seeds, bulbs, and outdoor projects. As soon as the days become warm and sunny, turn off the heat-open the Windows. Inside we wash walls, floors, cabinets, Windows,etc. Outside cut away dead foliage, hand turn soil in the garden beds, power wash deck and siding. Then I start planning projects from gardening to crafts to indoor remodeling. Start taking walks and kick up my fitness routine. This giveaway could get me started…and maybe finish… on a project. I live in Kentucky, usually Spring comes early, but not this year.
would love to have this prize package can think of so many things to do with it.
A. OPEN THE WINDOWS AND DOORS. Bring the outside inside literally and with decorations.
Q How do you Transition your home from Winter into Spring?
Open the windows, wash the dog beds and bathe the dogs. Move all the furniture so I can get a good floor mopping done.
You’ve motivated me! Please consider this an entry in your giveaway…now off to use some of these tips!! Thanks bunches!!!
I clean, of course, and put away the cold weather clothes. we will also be getting ready to put in the garden.
I start using bright pastels for all my craft projects!
Some of these items are already my go-to products, but others, I have been wanting to try. Would love to win this prize to add to my stash.
I go through my closets and give away anything I have not worn for a year…I check my pantry for outdated cans, and I find my bulbs in the garage…
I put away quilts and blankets. I switch to the other side of my closet for clothes.
I put away my snowman collection and bring out the spring colors and flowers
Hey everyone! The first thing I do is hang up my handmade wreath on the front door. It lets all my guests know we are in spring mode! One more thing I would love to win this fabulous prize.
We throw open all the windows, pack up our coats and gloves, and switch all our heavier blankets for lighter ones.
I try to do a good spring cleaning even windows go through closets and drawers and give organization things I don’t need
As soon as the warm weather arrives we open up the windows and let in the fresh air!
The change from winter to spring starts with the time change, then a good cleaning, followed with more color on the beds, at the windows, and outside.
Open all the windows, wash curtains and get rid of stuff!
I read in a book taking place in the Victorian era that some of the preparations for spring included changing out heavy winter draperies (I do sheets and duvet as well) and they filled the now unused fireplaces with flowers or tableaus. I don’t put flowers but I have created screens out of large picture frames put together with hinges. I insert different craft papers in the frames instead of pictures. The empty black fireplaces were really putting a “damper” on my spring.
Clean out the cobwebs, de-clutter and open the windows to let the fresh air in!!!!
I take everything I haven’t used in the past year to my church for the giant rummage sale the end of April and then start planning re-painting and garden and outdoor issues while finishing the Spring cleaning.
Please pick me! 🙂
I LOVE THE SCENT OF SPRING! I CLEAN OUT THE OLD, SCRUB AWAY THE GLOOM OF WINTER, AND REJOICE IN THE FRESH AIR. I PUT UP WINTER CLOTHES AND REFRESH MY SPRING AND SUMMER CLOTHES. REPLACE WORN OR OLD CURTAINS AND PILLOWS AND JUST WALLOW IN THE JOY OF LIFE!
This year will be a bit different as I’ve moved back home to help take care of my mom. So cleaning is top of the list. As mom is 87 years old not a lot done in a while. My brother is doing the outside of the home and I’m doing the inside. Goal is to make it warm and comfortable the craft things would be a blessing. Thank you for the chance
I start with the closets, everything goes out that hasn’t been worn in the last two years. Then the garage is next…I have pack rat tendencies.
Then I clean the house from top to bottom. Drape, windows, walls, and floors.
out go the dark colors and I change over to spring greens and yellow and maybe pink also this year!! Always ready for more crafting…..
I do a clutter cleanup – donating items I no longer need or have decided to pass on to someone else to enjoy.
I take down dark curtains and put up a new set of bright colored curtains. I put away all things that are winter based and hit the craft sores, thrift shops and my closet to see what I can make new for the house like a new door wreath, a new tote for groceries. Being disabled I try to keep myself busy and I have always done crafts, etc. For the house. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway it would be great to have new things to work with. Thank you Peggy Ferguson
I switch out winter clothing, jackets and boots. Put away heavier bedding, and switch throw pillows and door decorations. Wash walls, light fixtures, and windows. I clean for a living so my house is in top notch shape weekly! Put away snow shovels etc, gather gardening tools and clean and sharpen. Open up the house trailer and wash all bedding and linens. With grandchildren here to stay most of the summer I would love to win this prize!
Thank You
I begin my spring cleaning after the Christmas decorations are packed away for another year. Sometime in January, while it is cold, raining or snowing, and outside activities are at a premium. My spring cleaning has nothing to do with wardrobe as my walk-in closet provides space for all seasons. Mine begins with drawers, cabinets, linen closets, utility room, health and beauty products, etc. I do this at my own pace, as I am retired and have the liberty to do so. I box items that are no longer needed but still would be a treasure to someone else. Then around May, my friends and family gather together for a “yard sale”. This gives me a little extra money to spend on things for spring. Of course, as the weather gets warmer and I can work outside, I love to plant many colorful flowers and continue this until late fall. As I unclutter my indoors, I am able to “spring clean” the curtains, windows, window sills, etc.
I do love the way the sun shines through my freshly washed windows.
I’ll clean from top to bottom in each room, hang my shears up in the family room &put away winter flannel sheets & bedding & bring out spring & summer.
All these things, I so hope I win!
Why transition? I try to keep everything clean all year long so I don’t have to spend a lot of time doing spring cleaning and more time to sew and enjoy spring.
open house up on first nice warm day and air out and clean real good and I do my yard.
This spring I plan on making my living room/dining room combination look brighter by removing the peeling wall paper and painting a fresh light color.
I go through all my clothes. Check sizes and what I haven’t worn in a while and donate.Go throw panty check for things out of date and throw out. Clean out linen closet and anything torn> I throw out.
I with help clear out everything that is not used anymore and either recycle or donate. Then give everything a good scrub down. Open windows doors and let some good fresh air come in. Then think about doing some planting. Good luck to all.
My daughter and I just did a complete overhaul on our craft room – with fresh paint and a new design. We now have room for all my sewing/crocheting projects and she has room for all her paper crafts. So looking forward to working in this completely creative space!
I go from winter to spring by lighting up everything around me including my house and my wardrobe. I go from the darker winter colors to the pastel spring colors. In my house I do simple things by changing towels, bed linens, curtains, etc. The windows are opened which cleans out the stale winter air and brings in the sweet smell after a spring rain.
I change my decor from winter to spring and start planning my garden.
Clean! Put away the fleece sheets, get the hose out of the garage and the insulated wrap off the outdoor faucet…
The key to a spring transition is to buy some colorful fresh flowers, crank the music, open the windows and clean the house from top to bottom!
I open up the windows to enjoy some fresh air, then I get out the lightweight fabrics and yarn in all the pretty pastel colors and craft my heart out. 🙂
This spring we will finish up home painting inside, cause spring here usually starts in May, regardless of the calendar. We won’t be putting old things back on the walls, per say. We are looking to replace the old with new, or new to us. Then we are planning on a huge yard sale. (Proceeds for a vacation.) Also when we do have off warm days, open windows to air out from our 4 rescue dogs. Washing blankets, and airing them to dry. Dog blankets also. We are also able to let the dogs out more with the sun out. We are a multiple season area here, winter, mud, spring, yard sales, fishing, gardening, summer, fall, mud, hunting, and snow. Thank you for the give away. Take care.
I wash, sort, and put away winter clothes, coats, etc., and bring out spring and summer clothes. This is also a good time to discard any items we don’t want any more. Time to wash windows and sweep down the walls, then a good allover dusting and vacuuming. When the temperatures are nice, air out the house. Part of this is done during the winter, while my business is slow.
I spring clean,put away the winter clothes & redecorate.
clean all the dust that you don’t see, and disinfect everything I can see, clean closets for storageHi my name is sarah, I do believe the transition into spring is the best thing after winter. I just want to get a head start when we spring forward to more daylight, and that’s when I start opening all the windows, and enjoy the sun. my grandson, and granddaughter are here most of th spring, and summer. I watch them while my daughter, and son in law work and they like to come and stay at my house. my grandson is asthmatic, and they both have a lot of allergies so I don’t have many months until the aircondition goes on. so I start my cleaning in the last week of Feb. the first week of march I try to open the windows, I take all the blinds off the windows, and clean then, I dust all the places that you really don’t see in the winter, clean the closets for new storage. everything you can see gets dusted. I just bought my granddaughter who is going to be 8 in May a sewing machine for Xmas 2014 she loves it. so we are taking full advantage of learning together, I knew hoe to sew a little, but its much more fun then doing it by nyself. I have big plans this spring. I clean every year, but I clean deeper now that my grandson has asthma, but I am used to it, because my daughter had asthma as a child. this year myself, and my fiancé have done some remodeling, and we still have to fix the awning over the back patio. we are looking forward to the out door barbequing this year. we have to clean top floor to basement this year, but after the coldest winter we have had since probably 10 yrs we are looking forward to it. thank you, sarah sass
Open the drapes and blinds, let the sun in and start bright colored crafts that I get off my favorite craft site favecraft,
This would be awsome to win. Can think about how to use it while soaking up the spring sunshine on my back deck with my two jack russels.
How I transition from Winter to Spring begins with cleaning all my windows until they sparkle. This is followed by packing away all winter clothing and unpacking all Spring/Summer clothes and cleaning drawers and closets as I go. Plant bulbs and seedlings for the garden and bringing out the lawn furniture. Refresh the house with beautiful pastel colours…sit back and enjoy!
We usually start cleaning out the clutter from winter holidays. Then change to lighter bedding and open up the house for the fresh country air. Which inspires my husband to work outside in the yard and I take care of all the indoor plants. Then I do some crafting and jewelry making for the spring and summer seasons.
This year I will be going around picking up the garbage and loose debri that winter has left. I will have a fire pit and burn the branches from storms over the winter and I have to tackle what to do with roots from 3 big bushes
usually i do a good cleaning, put away most of the throws and open up the curtains
I clean from top to bottom in the apartment. Get the fresh smell into the place since I live in ND it helps me rejuvenate after a long winter. Get things cleared out and start to do more crafts in my spare time. Love to craft and take crafts with me to do at work.
Spring…I change out my decorations from winter theme to sunny flowers and bright colors. It is wonderful to be able to open windows and doors, let in the fresh air and watch me little dogs and grand daughters run around in the backyard. Get out into the garden and start planting and come up with crafts for my grand daughters to do.
Washing windows is the first thing in the spring, along with getting rid of the woodstove mess. If I could rent a backhoe to clear the clutter out, I would do it and not even blink.
Spring cleaning and organizing! A vacation to Florida to escape the brutal Indiana winter. At this point I’m totally redoing the craft room and leave for Florida in two weeks.
We wash all the windows. Clean out the guttering and in general make sure everything looks cleaned up from winter. Prepare the Spring garden, put the pool back up for the grand kids and clean up the yard. Then inside we have to put up all the winter clothes and do a deep clean of all the carpets and base boards. I’m sure I am missing something. I usually work from a list which I do not have right in front of me at the moment. By the way– awesome giveaway.

I change the clothes in to our closets, change covers on sofas and armchairs in the living groom replacing with more colorful ones, take off carpets ftom the floor and buy more colorful flowers to put in vases.
My transition is mainly dealing with my windows. I gather my spring curtains, rewash them (as they have been packed away awhile and I love clean smelling ones) and then take down my winter curtains. Washing my windows inside and out is such a joy to do. After a hard and long winter this is a joyous time. I the take each room and give them a cleaning with the windows open! Can’t wait to do this this year. It has been a long time coming.
Well when it gets warm enough I open all the windows and doors to air out the house. shampoo all the carpets and beat all the rugs out. Put away all the heavy winter bedding and get out the lighter.
I jump start the process during Jan/Feb by going through the house and donating excess “stuff” and doing a good “spring cleaning” of the house. Joyfully await the first day that the windows can be opened to bring in fresh air! All winter florals, decorations and accents get changed to brighten up the house, then it’s time for the outdoor gardening! Containers, baskets, décor…..anything to brighten up the outdoors!
In Florida there isn’t much to do to switch from winter to spring. Just to switch out clothes and make sure we have the necessary items for transitions. This will help keep 2 active kids busy on rainy days.
It’s all about decorations..flowers and birds and whatever else I can think of…oh my..Clean all you want but..DON’T TOUCH MY CRAFT SUPPLIES!!!!
I changed out the shower curtains to a lighter color. I also changed the bedspread to one with a white background.
Well I do spring cleaning like bleach kitchen floor. Open up all the blinds and make colorful crafts to cheer to the house. Open windows let the spring air in. Put away all winter items like snow pants boots hats and gloves.
I change most of my linens that is use on the furniture from dark to lighter colors. I bring out my spring goodies, such as bird nests, flowers etc. and change them out with my winter things. I change my candle selections from spicy to fruity until I can open the windows. I have a lemon plug in that smells so wonderful. Thanks for a chance to win .
I open the windows to let in the fragrant air. I feed the birds. Then I get out some project and set it up on the garden table and enjoy nature and crafting. Cleaning?. That can wait.
Looking forward to winning. It would be a great way for me to get my 7 year old daughter into crafting. I love when we do things together its are mother daughter time.
Out with the old and in with the fresh and new! I clean out closets, medicine cabinets and my pantry, tossing out anything out of date. I set aside anything that can be re purposed or donated to those in need. Then fill the house with flowers!
I change out the bed linens then tackle the big things like the windows. Even clean the carpets. Can;t wait for this winter to be over!
Sprucing up the bathroom for spring with dip-dyed shades of blue: robins egg blue, sky blue, midnight blue, etc. Working on a fabric flower wreath. Can’t wait to see what flowers might be popping up underneath the snow!
I change the tablecloth and go out and shovel more snow! Then I come in and hope to win contests with lots of fun crafting supplies.
I love spring. Clean, throw open windows for some fresh air, reorganize what hasn’t been working into something that does. With a challenged 36 yr old, with a ton of medical appts. and a 7 yr. old with ADHD & other issues, again with a ton of medical & school appts, & a 2 yr old, I have to stay on top of things. And getting my crafts organized is even more important for ME. I really need to win this contest. Oh pray for me. Thanks
I like to start with opening of the blinds and then the windows. The fresh are coming into the house just seems to invigorate me. I start with a complete cleaning from top to bottom of all the rooms, clean windows, fresh linens on the beds, and a bit of color added in with what the latest design and color schemes are for the spring that year.
Well I just finished, over the week-end as I hopped with a “HUGE” head start with “Spring cleaning” in my craft, art & photography room this year! Now all I need ” Help ” with is some organization idea’s for this small room….
I spend time a my local nursery, absorbing the rich smells & bright colors. Plan what I can add to my garden & get new ideas for containers. I always leave inspired for new creative craft ideas to try ~
Pack away all those “dark” decorations and put out some brightly colored flowers and art by my grandkids. Add decorations to the side tables in the living room, home office and bedrooms!
change up the colors in the house and outside til the flowers come up, do the yard work, get rid of some things and replace with new, listen to the birds when taking a break, but have to wait for the snow to leave first
I start knitting with lighter yarns!!!
Spring cleaning always begins when it finally becomes warm enough to open the windows and let the air cirulate like it’s mean to. That’s when the cleaning can really start.
Have a special project I need to get done and with the supplies your giving away I could get it done. Would love to win.
I clean my house before it gets really warm, donate things I don’t need and do spring projects I find on pintrest.
Our spring cleaning isn’t done till summer, because we are just about to calve about 400 head of cows. Nothing says spring like a bunch of new born calves.
Oh how I wish these super organizational items could be mine. I love organization with flare, this would be awesome to have. Please consider!
To transition from winter to spring, I let more light in by opening the shades and switch out the heavier fabric pillows for lighter weight and lighter colored ones. I also switch my scented candles and potpourri from winter’s pine/pumpkin/cinnamon to ocean breeze/linen/citrus. By giving my rooms a good cleaning I welcome Spring and all her promise of growth and green things.
Put away my collection of snowmen and bring out the bunnies and spring wreaths.
We heqt on wood and coal so no matter how many hours a day you clean you never escape the fine film of dust. Spring means washing–windows, walls, furniture, floors, fans, yadda yadda. It’s also the time to plan and start planting the gardens, potato boxes, check the berries for freeze damage, start seed trays and take inventory of canning supplies.
I NEED A CRAFT BREAK! and, yes, that’s a distress shout. 😀
I’m so happy the holidays are over and we can open our doors let the fresh air in and make all the wonderful spring crafts and all the bright colors this is the best part of the year when I hear the birds at 6am and dogs barking because I live next to a community center and dog park and we get restless waiting for old man winter to leave so mother nature can smile down on us can’t wait to start new projects for this spring
I love all these upcycled ideas. Since losing my job the day before Christmas, funds are pretty tight so I’m always on the lookout for something or some way to reuse stuff around the home. Thanks for the chance to win a way to be crafty! 🙂 Good luck to all you crafters out there!
To transistion from winter to spring I reach for the telephone and call the cleaning service to schedule a spring cleaning! Too much crafting and sewing to do to bother with cleaning!
Oh the normal spring cleaning chores that everyone listed … spring curtains, pillows, making seedling pots out of newspaper and other scraps .. and planting the seeds … then on to the making of beautiful flowers … sun catchers.. so we can decorate indoors while waiting for it to get warm enough for out door activities … a lot of sewing and crafting to keep all of us from going stir crazy … any and things spring …
Opening the windows and letting spring blow into the house.
I love to open up the windows and let the fresh air in!
Every spring I would take the time to open the windows and air out the house and start cleaning one room at a tie washing everything and cleaning everything. The last thing was to scrub the floors… Now that I am 65… I open doors and sweep the floors… and pray for peace on the rest…
Wash windows from all the grime of winter and keep them open for fresh air (can’t wait I hate the stuffy indoor smell already). Wash winter clothes and hang them out to dry before storing them.
I start by cleaning the carpets and going through cabinets and kitchen drawers. Then I move to cleaning closets and having a rummage sale early in the year to get rid of unused clutter.
I go through all my golf clothes, sewing on buttons, repairing tears, discarding those that no longer fit or those that have seen better days. Then I’m ready to look my best on the golf course and hopefully my golf game will be one to match my appearance.
My way of transitioning is with bright colors and bright smells. lots and lots of sunshine indoors is the best way to brighten up my home lavender and lilacs are my favorite spring time scents.
I open the windows as soon as it’s warm enough and let in the fresh air.
Cleaning windows inside and outside, getting rid of clutter and try to remove old collected stuff that is not wanted anymore. Opening windows and airing out the house maybe some touch up paint here and there. Thank you for the giveaway. Phyllis
I make sure that I have dusted the house, and change my closet to spring clothes. I make sure my flower bed has pretty spring flowers. and then I start on a spring craft.
change out the dark slip covers and drapes for lighter colored ones, but that doesn’t happen here until May or June lol
I open the windows (If it’s warm enough), clean and spray floral scents around the house.
I love to start by removing anything that is warm looking, dark looking, and has been an item during the winter. Next, out comes light, bright colors, signs of spring-buds, greenery, Easter items, along with a good cleaning. I love the scents of flowers and use them freely throughout my “spring time” home!
To make the transition from winter to spring I start off by reorganizing the home. I store away the lingering holiday decor and donate spring clothes that I no longer want or can wear. The outdoor wake up call begins with removing the blankets of leaves from the pure shoots of green waiting to be liberated to greet the rays of spring.
I celebrate my daughter’s birthday… the first full day of spring!
I love spring. Open the windows whenever I get a chance. I also clean the windows to let all the sunshine in.
Spring Clean started 2 months ago , We never even had a Winter. Thinking of staying in the house only because it’s hotter this week. This would be a nice gift to win for a crafting weekend.
I clean the house real well and then I clean and pack up the heavier and darker color throws, pillows and curtains and replace them with lighter weight and colored accessories.
I slowly bring out my spring flowers beginning the first of march (just like spring flowers popping up) and start putting away my winter items.
We open the windows and get fresh air in and roll up the rugs and bring them outside and shake them out and clean, clean, clean!
I transition my home by putting away all the heavy winter fabrics – coats, clothes, blankets, etc. Then I swap out the sheets and pillow cases for lighter, brighter colours and use a light, colourful throw blanket to cover my couch. I also move the furniture around, mostly to clean but also to change the layout, and bring out anything with flowers on it – my china roses, throw pillows, doilies, dishes, etc. I will also clean the curtains and when I replace them will usually pin them back to allow move light in.
Clean the windows and screens from dust. Then clean the dust that is inside. Open the windows to let in fresh air. That will let in more dust with our Santa Ana winds. Oh well! Fresh air is still the best. Thank you for the chance to win.
We do a good clean-up and put away ALL the winter outerwear and bedding. Opening the windows to air out the house is the real sign of spring in our house!
I clean and dust and do the windows…. and try to organize things that got out of place over the winter. I put colder weather clothing away and bring out lighter, brighter colors in the wardrobe. I like to think about making new spring crafts, too… to make everything look springy and fresh and colorful. 🙂
Bringing out the white accents with lots of flowers whether it’s scents or decorations, I also put away the pinecones and bring out the birds. I love bird accessories. A great big spring clean, throw open all the windows is in order and makes the house so fresh. Anything that has to be made or painted finally can be because you can open the windows.
I open all the windows and air the house out to get rid of the stale air. Then I switch the flannel sheets for cotton. I start making a list of the things I want to get done before summer starts.
Open up the windows and bring in the flowers!
Spring cleaning, put away winter clothes, change wreath on front door.
While it is still cold outside, I first will change the candles that I burn from Holiday scents to Fresh Floral scents. I will clean out my cupboard and closets. As the sun starts to shine, I will clean the windows inside and then change my decor. Once that warm air comes and my flowers start to blossom, I open my windows and I’m outside in my garden working.
i love to spring clean my home..inlcuding decluttering closets ect. cleaning my home top to bottom and freshening up some rooms with paint
I put up winter clothes and do some spring cleaning. Opening up windows with fresh air is so great. I love to start working in my yard to welcome spring flowers. I would like to get better organized so that I could make crafts for people. So organization is on my list of things for spring cleaning.
Clean house, wash curtains, clean carpet, change type of bedding,furniture covers and area rugs, pack away winter/get out summer clothes and shoes, change make-up palette, open windows and spray Febreze, do a little painting, set out flowering plants. Make Easter crafts, decorate with color, prepare self and dogs for mosquito/flea season. Children’s Spring/Summer church events: Easter egg hunt and festival, Vacation Bible School, bus trips, day camp, talent show. Brace myself (and stock up on cornstarch to coat body so I can get dressed) for no air conditioning.
Spring cleaning, especially the windows.
Crank open the windows and enjoy!!!
Spring brings dreams of gardening, so I send away for catalogues and start planning my new garden. I change the wreath on the front door to a bright “springy” one and change the duvet cover on the bed to a light coloured one. In general, remove the heavy dark things and bring out the light, bright ones. The world outside is renewing and I want the same inside!
I transition to spring with spring cleaning, I’ve put up an Easter wreath and I have planted seeds to start my garden when the weather gets nice enough. On top of that, the kids are into doing spring crafts like painting birdhouses to put outside for our feathered friends.
