Craft Group Calendars

The second craft group meeting was the holiday party & calendar exchange.

I had the front cover & February. I was able to use my Gypsy for the first time! I welded the numbers to make a solid piece. My Gypsy is amazing!! It saved me SO MUCH time & effort. I don't know how I crafted without it!


I had every intention of doing a very pink & red Valentine's themed design. I tried over & over again to come up with something that would work, but never quite came to fruition. At the very last minute, I went with the 'Paris' theme. I saw a Paris picture at Hobby Lobby, then I went to my mom's & saw her Paris themed puzzle piece. I came home to a comment on one of my pictures from when Dustan took me to Paris for Valentine's in 2009. A few hours before the deadline, Paris themed February calendars were born! They turned out much better than I anticipated, but I still wish I could have come up with something better related to Valentine's Day.


Sandra had June & November:


Lisa had January & May:


My mom had April & July:


Melissa had December & the back cover:


Terri had March & August:


Julie had September & October:



We did a gift exchange & holiday meal. It was definitely a lot of fun, but a little too much for me to handle. I spent so much time trying to figure out how to design my calendars that I didn't get the headstart I needed on my Xmas cards this year. I only got around to making two holiday cards & I doubt I'll have a chance to get them out on time. This time of the year is ALWAYS a hectic mess for me. I can't wait for the holidays to be over & done!!
