I know probably noone here celebrate this holiday but if there are any bulgarians here or people that like the holiday I'd like to say: Happy Baba Marta!
And a card I made:

If someone is interested to know more about it. Baba Marta (Grandmother March) is an old lady that changes her mood very often the same way the tempretures in March are changing form cold to warm and vice versa. So when she's angry it snows, when she's happy it's warm and sunny. She also makes those "Martenica". Things we wear on our clothes from 1st of March in order to keep her happy. One is suppose to have the "martenica" on him until he see the first sign of Spring comming - like a stork or a tree bloom. After that we usually tie them on a tree we that we want to have more fruits.

It was one of my favorite holidays when I was a kid because everything is so nice and colorfull and we give each other a "martenica".
So because they don't have any here in the US and I didn't want to miss the holiday I had to make my own "martenitca.
I hope I got the proportions of thye bodies right this time:
(this is what I'm going to put on my clothes tommorow)
