Welcome to August… You may not know it, but every month our friends on instgram pick a theme and choose what the doodle on the calendar will be… this month while I was waiting for inspiration… “ships” and “planes” came in as suggestions and since more than half our readers are on summer vacation right now, and the other half wish they were on summer vacation… Bon Voyage is this month’s theme… enjoy it!!!
Click on the calendar page, it will open in a new tab, print it out and then color it and fill in the days that you want to celebrate… pop it on the fridge and you are good to go. You can still find all the calendar pages down the right hand side of our website and they are all gathered together in our Almanac page for easy searching… If you have holidays or ideas that you would like to add then please go ahead and comment, I would love to have our calendars packed to the brim!!!
