Although my creative endeavors don’t always turn out as I had pictured them in my head, sometimes they come very, very close. Tonight’s project was one of those lucky times. I was itching to do something creative, so I pulled out some paint and paper and made a little calendar for the month of March.
I cut a 4×6″ piece of white cardstock, drew light gridlines with a pencil, and painted the squares with three shades of green acrylic paint. After the paint dried, I erased the gridlines, wrote the date on each square with a silver metallic marker, and added the word “March.” My final step was to cut a piece of foam core to size and mount the calendar to the foam core with a glue stick.
The calendar isn’t exactly centered on the paper, and my cursive script leaves a bit to be desired, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
Hi! I'm Rachel, and I'm so glad you're here. I make creative projects and intentional choices to create a life I love -- and I hope to inspire you to do the same! 
When are you going to start selling your fun creations?
jennifer: Besides the time it would require, I think the main reason I haven’t started an Etsy shop is that I can’t think of a good name for my shop! Any suggestions?
Fantastic! I’m always impressed.
ally: Thanks! It’s fun to create things.
