This was one very busy month for me, because I had a lot of birthdays I celebrated, including my own. And of course, the Easter Bunny visited, too.
After a ruthlessly dry and warm winter, April showers became the norm over many of these April days. I kept saying the phrase "April showers bring May flowers" over and over as I watched one flower after another bloom and fade even before May could arrive!
And when not celebrating one birthday or another, I was cleaning up my yard after a tornado, the rains, and other foul (not fowl) weather. So, between the birthdays, the rain, and the yard work, I didn't have a whole lot of ME time this month.
I worked on my May pages and finally have them ready to go. As always, I will decorate them when I have a better idea what the month will bring. Here's to an awesome May, everyone. By the way, I hope you are enjoying New York and other US stops, Kate!

ReplyDeleteI know, isn't time flying....looks like you packed an awful lot into April! I like how you use those little calendar pages to show the months before and after on your pages :)
ReplyDeleteyour calendar pages look super...I especially like that your days/weeks are in strips instead of blocks...gives the pages an interesting different look and shows off your great backgrounds too

Happy May dear Elizabeth

ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, I love the colours of April's pages and the spraying over stencils for May. It's nice to see a different layout; I keep thinking I'll do my 'days' differently but either can't decide what to do or forget, I did try bleaching out some squares a few months ago but it didn't work, I didn't get rid of enough colour.

I LOVE these backgrounds you've done; colorful, textural and above all else- beautiful! May you have another month filled with flowers, good food and friendship and lots of rain for the garden!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly did have a busy April. Like others have said I like the layout of the days.

love the work on your background, a straight invitation to daily journaling!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, love your painted stenciled colorful backgrounds for April and May. I also really like your idea of only adding a few words. That's going to be a challenge for me for sure but I'd like to try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteGreat backgrounds and I love the way you do your squares. I am intriqued what 'British phone box tea' is on the 10th April!!
