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!

Great background on your May pages. Have a good month.
I 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 :)
your 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
WHERE did April go???
Happy May dear Elizabeth

Great backgrounds Elizabeth, I am lving these pages...xox
Hi 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!
You 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!
Hi 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.
Great backgrounds and I love the way you do your squares. I am intriqued what 'British phone box tea' is on the 10th April!!
Love your colors and brief notes!
