**UPDATE** Calendar Blog Hop PICTURES

YEA!!! I'm finally home and settled.  Here are the pictures as promised.  We had a good trip back and when I got here, I looked at my project and found things I wanted to fix or change.  So, here is the final project in all its glory.  I did add a picture of an African-American woman that I received as a stamped image in a swap a couple of months ago.  She was colored with a combination of colored pencils and Bic Mark-it markers.  Next time, I will NOT cut all the numbers out.  It's stickers, hand written numbers, or NOTHING at all.  That was a beast.  The month-long holidays that are included on my LO on the little note behind the grapefruit (I know it doesn't really look like one.  Use your imagination PEOPLE. LOL!) are as follows: American Heart Month, American History Month, Black History Month, Children's Dental Health Month, National Cherry Month, National Grapefruit Month, and Responsible Pet-Owners' Month.

I do like how my LO turned out though.  DH said, "It's different but nice."  That's GOOD.  So, I'm happy. I hope I lived up to your expectations.  Your comments have been so sweet but I hope I didn't let you down. Enjoy!!!  I look forward to reading all your comments so keep them coming.  Happy Scrappin'!


P.S. Oh...I found out that Elmo's birthday is on the 3rd.  We love Elmo so I had to include him!

Christel, I feel like such a dork! I am sitting here going, "why did she include the African American lady, she didn't say, is it a relative, what?" Duh! I have learned so much this year about our nation's history and the awesome African American's that were integral to our nation's freedom and how many of their stories are left out of America's history or distorted. It is one of my sincerest wishes and prayers that all of our Christian, African, Native, and other downplayed roots will prevail in History books, soon! That the truth of our country and who did what be revealed! Great layout and thanks for hopping! Take care!

Christel,

I love your calendars!!! :) I can't believe you cut all the numbers out! Even if you used a xyron (to turn them into stickers), they must have been a bugger to line up. You did a great job, though-they look nice & straight! ;)

Thanks for sharing,
