March is an ever turbulent time of year. Winter is coming to an end and spring is just around the corner. Every year I am reminded of that old saying, "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb". To me, it is more like March comes in like "gangbusters" with all the wind that sweeps in-still bringing some windy-chilly weather. If wind is something you hate to deal with, you won't want to miss Jenny's article as she battens down the hatches and ties things up with strings and things in Fantastic Fibers. 

Before you know it, its mid March...we're wearing the green of St. Patrick's Day and celebrating our families’ heritage. Let Deanna and myself help you find out information on your family heritage, be sure to see Triple Play-Exploring Irish Heritage and Finding Your Family History. 

March can also bring a great calm over the month. You start to wake up to the sound of birds singing, trees show new life by budding, we start to breath warmer-sweeter air and yes...the first purple crocus blooms in the front yard. This is defiantly the part of March I like most...new beginnings and a fresh start to life! You'll love the newness and fresh start in our Back to Basics-Your Photographs. Learn about organizing and choosing your photos to scrapbook. Speaking of organizing, how about some spring cleaning-scrapper's style. Join Joan as she "spring cleans" her stash of supplies...see what she came up with in Look What Else You Can Do-A Scrappers Approach to 
Spring Cleaning! Since you're in the spring cleaning mode...don't forget the windows-slide mounts can be our own little windows on our pages. Don't miss Chris' article Slide Mounts-A Photo Accessory Blast from the Past. If you're looking to make things new again, a fresh coat of paint is always in order. Join Corrine as she teaches you all about painting on your scrapbook layouts in Sophistication-It’s All in the Paint.
