Chipboard Calendar - Part 2 of 2

Part 2 of 2 on the little chipboard calendar I made this weekend. Again, I realize that I took photos before I stuck the embellishments for September (which were at home) so you will have to pretend on that month. This is part 2 of 2 - months July to December. Part 1 was posted yesterday. Enjoy! KC

Chipboard Calendar - Part 1 of 2

I made a little chipboard calendar this weekend while cropping with a friend. I realize that I took photos before I stuck the embellishments for March and September (at home) so you will have to pretend on those. This is part 1 of 2 - months January to June. Enjoy! KC

Belated post. This is the beautiful tags and gifts I received from Leanne. I have these stamps but have never used them so I love the inspiration that Leanne just gave me. Thank you so much, Leanne!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

The house is quiet. The kiddos are still asleep after popping the fireworks until midnight. It's the last year for fireworks. The ban goes into effect tomorrow. I grew up popping fireworks every New Years and Fourth of July with my siblings and many cousins. A tradition that my children will, hopefully remember, but never again experience .... maybe not. Maybe the law will change ...

Happy New Year!!
