Calendar Challenge - September

Good morning to you all,

Can you believe it is September here already,

that means the little 'ankle biters' will be going 

back to school very soon.  Do I hear a 'yes' from

everywhere??  I am so glad I do not have to do

the dreaded new uniform shop any more.

No you can't have those shoes, the heel is too

high, not enough support, you'll get blisters 

blah blah blah.  The scary thing is I remember my

mum saying exactly the same thing to me!  I can't 

believe the shoes my eldest daughter wears to work....

don't know how she can even walk in them!!  Haha!

Ok, it is time to announce the next two words 

for September.....

BROWN and LEAVES/TREES

Well no surprise there then!

This is what Neil has made .....

And this is how his calendar is looking
so far -

How nice is that??

And we have this from Dawn...

Lovely, Dawn!

I'm sure you know what you have to do, as

many entries as you like, via the link if

possible but if not then to me at

janecraftbarn@gmail.com

You have until midnight 30th September

and the winner will be announced on

Friday 2nd October.  the winner will be picked 

by Random Generator and will receive a £10

Gift Voucher.
Also, please make sure your creation
is to be part of a calendar page, you do not have
to have entered every month but only those who

Calendar Challenge - June

Hi everyone,

Here we are half way through the year already and time for

 our next part of the calendar challenge.

The words and colours had already been chosen

when I took over the blog, so I have had no say in 

the choices.  This month will be an interesting one for me

as I love the 'word' being used and have to buy any stamps,

dies, papers using this 'word'.  So I am looking forward to 

seeing what you create!

We have had 21 entries as I write this, for May, thank you

to all of you have entered, they are all lovely and I know I 

say it every month but I am so glad I don't have to pick 

the winner.  It would be too hard!

Ok, let's tell you what your next items are......

LAVENDER and DRAGONFLIES

so not only do I love dragonflies, but I also love the colour

lavender too......oh this is going to be a good month 

for me!!

This is what Dawn has created for us -

Just lovely, thanks Dawn.

And Neil -

Beautiful, thank you Neil!

Why is it purple and lilac always comes out bluey on a 

photograph, now matter how you take the picture, the colour 

never stays true? 

As usual, as many entries as you like, preferably by 

the link below but if you are not able to use the link then

email me at janecraftbarn@gmail.com

The link will close at midnight on Tuesday June 30th.

Winner will be picked by our Random Generator and 

announced on Thursday July 2nd.

There will be a £10 gift voucher up for grabs!

Good luck to you all.

I'll be back on Wednesday to announce the winner

of May's Calendar Challenge.

But I will see you on Tuesday with the winner of the 

last weekly challenge.

Calendar Challenge - May

Hi everyone, 

Can you believe it is May already, where is this year going??

Today we shall announce the next two words 

for the Calendar Challenge.

We have had 21 fabulous entries for April, there maybe more 

by the time this is published.

Thank you all for taking the trouble to enter, we

really do appreciate your participation.

I hope you all enjoy taking part too!!!

Ok, let's see what the next two words 

are going to be.....

MAGENTA and FLOWERS

This is what Neil has done....

Dawn

The garden centres are full of lovely flowering plants

at the moment but we must still be careful of frosts for a 

few more weeks yet.  I always think it is such a shame when 

they sell these plants but don't warn you that they

are not really ready to go in our gardens yet.

It has been quite chilly in Surrey the last few days!!

So, Magenta and flowers, well who could have a flower 

garden without a bit of pink somewhere??

As usual the winner will be picked by Random 

Generator and announced on Wednesday 3rd June.

As many entries as you like via the Link.

The link will close on May 31st at midnight.

The winner will receive a £10 gift voucher to spend

in The Craft Barn.

Good luck to you all!

I'm adding this lovely picture for Rachel Alexander

Will not give it a number until the end as I don't
want to mess up the link!
