8 1/2 x 11 inch Printable Calendar Downloadable Calendar for Computer Desktop I just barely finished the free calendars for March in time.  Somehow the end of this month crept up on me.  February is like that. Any ideas as to theme for the April calendar? Cindy P.S.  Please visit the Weekend Bloggy Reading Link-up at Serenity Now for fun and creative ideas.

Here's a fun little printable for making Valentine treat bags. To print, click on the image below, right click and save to your computer. Print on cardstock, and cut into fourths.  Fill in the "To" and "From" section. Fold each card in half over a bag of treats, then punch holes on the dots. Tie your Valentine treat bags with ribbon, and they're ready to go.

We’ve had cold, dark, cloudy, and frequently rainy days here for awhile now. It’s kind of dreary.   Typically winter, but a time to enjoy some indoor comforts like homemade hot soup and knitting.   Everything to its season. Legend has it that on February 2, if a groundhog comes out of its hole and sees its shadow there will be six more weeks of winter.   If the day is cloudy (no shadow), then spring is just around the corner. In fact, according to the calendar, February 2nd is the exact midpoint between the first day of winter and the first day of spring.   Winter is officially half over! Today we’re enjoying a bright, beautiful sunny day here in Bellingham.   So I guess it’s six more weeks of winter for us.   I would expect at least six more weeks of winter-like weather for us regardless of whether or not a groundhog could see its shadow, because winters are long here, lasting well into spring. The trees are bare; not even close to budding out.
