Hi everyone, it's only the second of the month and I am already on catch up with commenting - it's taking ages to try and get a comment on to some blogs and even when I think I have left a comment I've had to get into the habit of revisiting as sometimes they didn't publish!
I am joining in with Valerie's 'Anything Goes' theme at Art Journal Journey
My calendar journal for March has some stencilling and my own sketching along with some Stamperia images.
Here is February all filled in.
Now for my look back at the past - I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth at The Altered Book Lover for a Second Look on the 2nd
This what I posted on 5th March 2016.
To Fly Or Not To Fly
One of my greatest delights on woodland walks is to look for small birds - even when we go to Leighton Moss which is set up with hides mainly for water bird watchers I love to walk through the woods watching for Nuthatches, Tits and Finches, we are sometimes lucky and see other little birds too!
This will probably be a scheduled post and I may be off to the woods this weekend!
My little bird is wondering whether to stay where he is or fly off to the woods on the hill, but it's getting dark and there's a sparrow hawk about so he may stay in the hedgerow for tonight!
This started off as a mop up page but I added some more ink and some stamping.

Love the calendar pages. Beautiful colors and images.
ReplyDeletelove your calendar pages, and your second on the second bird page. Yesterday I was in Dobbies and there was a wee robin flying around following me, it was very good at getting in and out of the automatic doors and getting where it needed to go. Happy Second on the Second! Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteAnother super calendar ready for the next months activities. So great to be able to look back on them all. I do love your bird page, maybe she's thinking of flying to warmer climates as it's gone very cold again in the UK.
ReplyDeleteLuckily I know my comments do post on your blog Chris but I too have to check when I can. Happy week ahead Hugs Tracey xx
My apologies for not visiting sooner. I was called out of town suddenly to spend time with a dying friend, I just returned this morning. Like you, I am in catch up mode. The only blog where my comments disappear is Jo's and it's not even a blogger blog.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your calendar pages put mine to shame. Real shame! I love what you did for March because it is so different from most pages like that you create. Thanks for this beauty using Valerie's theme at AJJ.
I absolutely adore your second look. I remember this from when you visited the caravan you owned. It is an adorable bird and a really great way to bring this sweet bird back for a second visit. Thanks for sharing it, dear Chris.
Hi, you created a beautiful calendar :)
ReplyDeleteDear Chris,
ReplyDeleteoh yes, commenting is currently quite problematic - I hope everything will work smoothly again soon!
I really like your calendar pages - and I find the little bird "story" and picture adorable! ❤️
Hugs & happy March days!

PS: You wrote me "I don't think I would be happy with so many frogs around;-D" Do you mean because of the croaking? The Costa Rican frogs obviously knew how to behave - at least they weren't loud.
