I am absolutely thrilled about this FANTASTIC designed signboard from your eldest - this is simply AMAZING! You should integrate the sign into your header! This piece of wood is genius and how he wrote your blog name is out of this world! I am totally in love with it!

I've started something similar, but mine is certainly not as industrious as your son's awesome sign. I adore anything recycled, so this was a fun thing to enlarge and look over.

The tulips were stunning, and it was good to see ones that had not been killed with a hard freeze (or in your case, snow).<br /><br />Lisca mentioned the red squirrels in her T post and how they had been replaced with gray in the UK. I guess I've not seen a gray squirrel before, because ours are not red, but brown. The ones at Dunham Massey are far tamer than the ones that visit me.<br /><br />You spend SO much time on your calendar pages, dear Chris. I used to make little squares, then one year decided to use calendar pages. I split the days of the weeks into strips for about two years, then got the idea of just finding a calendar I could live with and use the pages from each month. Yours is an art form. Mine is strictly a memory prompt. I love both pages you have created, but those butterflies simply fly off the page with beauty and your great coloring skills. Thanks, too for linking this calender page to Art Journal Journey. And thanks for taking us to Dunham Massey now that spring has truly arrived.

Lovely photos of Durham Massey, especially the shots you took of the tulips and squirrels. The plaque from your eldest is very cool. I love how he formed the words. I don't get the chunk of wood.

Thanks so much for joining us at Art Journal Journey with your beautiful calender journal pages!
