The 2013 Calendar

Hi.  12 weeks ago The Craft Barn started a challenge.  A page or a calendar a week for 12 weeks.  It seemed like a grand idea at the time so with trepidation and enthusiasm I took up the baton.  Some weeks were easy, some weeks were hard, some weeks were a bit late, but never too late! 

I chose to make a heart shaped mini book and have each week of my calendar over two pages.  It's not so mini.  It has become quite a fat little calendar and the 25mm book rings are straining to contain it's exuberance.  The only pages I haven't already posted are the front and back covers which you can view here now, along with a photo of the whole and also a recap of the photos that have been posted over the last 12 weeks on this blog.  I hope that you enjoy it.  It's been very inspirational and I would like to thank The Craft Barn for stretching my creativity and their generosity for giving us the opportunity of a 15% discount each week throughout the challenge.  Also one of us will be rewarded for our perseverance and creative genius with a voucher to spend on some extra crafty must haves.  Good luck to us all.  

So here it is and of course I am entering The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge Grand Finale
