March Calendar Page

Hi from South Carolina!

My mama and daddy called me yesterday. They are a riot when they call because they are either both on an extension and talking at the same time or adding info to what the other one is telling me, or like yesterday, one's on the phone with me and the other is in the background yelling info to add. LOL They crack me up.  So Daddy asked if me, Tom, and Bonnie would come see him this weekend. I said yes. I love my parents.

This year I have been posting Calendar Pages on the first of each month. Calendar pages are something new and different I'm doing this year. I make them 12" x 12" and staple them to my craft room wall above my computer monitor for easy reference to dates. When the month is over, I put it in my scrapbook.

For March, I started the calendar page last night and finished it up this morning. I just can't seem to make myself wait and post it on March 1st. LOL I want to show it to you now. LOL

Here is my February and March calendars on the wall above my computer monitor. I stapled 2 pieces of white cardstock to the wall, then I clothespinned the calendars to the cardstock. This way I don't have to damage the calendars with staples AND I don't damage my wall every month with new staples. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today! :) Janis
