Calendars For My Sisters - April & May

Published by rainy at 12:01 am under Calenders, Projects

It’s May already!?!  Well I never posted April’s calendars for my sisters (they were sent in time) and now I have May’s calendar all delivered as well.

So here is April’s calendar.

Again, I just had to add a little sparkle to the flowers.

This is turning out to be such a fun project.  And I hear from my sisters each month now, too, of how much they are enjoying receiving them.

    Although I am happy that I finished my calenders at the end of last year, I starts to work in my mind, that this monthly delivery is kind of nice, because every month there is a contact, a delivery and happyness…. might considering it for the next year ;-)
    Well done for your caleders… I love your colors and your sparkle!
