March complete and April ready to go in my never-ending calendar

I realize I'm posting my monthly calendar early this month, but I'm getting ready for my annual 22 days of recycling, repurposing, and reusing items to keep them out of the trash in order to save our planet. I'm sure Kate, our host for this monthly event, won't mind.

March was cold, there was snow, and although Spring has arrived on the calendar, it has not reached my part of the country.  For my decorations, I added two flowers, since there are none in my garden, and some St. Patrick's Day inspired ribbon.

I got a little carried away with the colors for April, partly because it's a month filled with many birthdays.  I also reverted to using a calendar to show the days.  I was having trouble with the bleed I was experiencing with this not-at-all-inexpensive journal I picked to represent the next two years.  The pages are just not strong enough to accept all the color mists and such I was trying to subject them to.

I hope you'll join me in April while I count down to Earth Day.  As always, I decorate my pages based on what has happened in my world during the month.  Thanks for stopping by and please visit Kate for links to others working on these calendars.
