Oct-Nov-Dec

I'm glad that my hubby enjoys these calendars. I'm glad they're quick and easy to make :) Join me in October to make your own 6x6 desktop calendar.






I scanned the two for Dec. before I got pictures printed for them...you'll just have to imagine family Christmas pictures on them :)

July-Aug-Sept

April-May-June

Jan-Feb-Mar

Since Dave now has two offices, I decided that he needed a calendar for both places. I only had one calendar completely stamped and the other calendar was just cut out. I decided to "shake it up" a bit and just put the pieces together and add stamps, punches, and accessories as needed :)

June...Bloomington Lakes

One of my favorite places to go where I grew up is Bloomington Lakes. It's so beautiful and peaceful there. My dad likes to go there, too. Of course, I'm sure he would be more happy there if he took his fishing pole with him. I remember as a kid my dad would always teach us to skip rocks there. This time was no exception. It was such an awesome moment for me to see my Dad teaching my three kids how to skip rocks....just as he did with me and my brothers and sister. It's a time I will never forget!
