A Big Thank You and a Free Gift for Everyone.

I wanted to thank everyone who gave me such great ideas for garden classes. It was good to know many of them were things I had already planned on.

 There were also some I hadn't thought of and a few of them had my mind spinning off in new directions!

So again, a big thank you to everyone who participated!

As promised, I have drawn a name from everyone who left a comment and we have a winner . . .

Congratulations  Sigrun! Send me an email with your address and I'll send you your thank you Dutch Birthday Calendar just as quickly as I can.

Also as promised, I have a gift for everyone who sent me ideas. I have been thinking about this for a while and finally figured out how to make it possible.

I have a free printable for everyone who helped me out!

This is a pretty big one and will only be offered this once and only for a short time.(The link will be live through August 11 just in case some of you are on holidays) I am in the process of learning how to make other types of printables and hope to offer more in the future.

In the mean time  . . . here's the link to a downloadable Dutch Birthday Calendar file. It's pretty large so it takes a little bit to load.      Dutch Birthday Calendar Printable.  I do ask that you not share this file with anyone. I am happy for you to make more than one copy if you would like to give it as a gift  but the file itself is only for you to use. Between taking the photos, editing them and making a template for the calendar it took up quite a lot of my time and I would rather not have it end up floating around on the web somewhere.

Thanks for understanding.

You can print this out on your printer on  81/2 x 11" card stock or photo paper. There are two calender pages on each sheet so you will need to cut down the center of the page for each one. Add a hole (or two) at the top of every page and tie them together with twine or a pretty ribbon and voila! A Dutch Birthday Calendar!

Some of you might be kicking yourselves right about now. You intended to leave me an idea or perhaps the sight of this lovely calendar has caused a garden class idea to pop right into your head . . .

No worries . . . Just leave an idea in the comments (and yes Ev, telling me all my ideas are fabulous and you haven't got anything better counts. ;D ) and download away!

Make sure you tune in on Monday for a don't miss tutorial that mixes Superstore,  flowers, moss and a feminine hygiene product in a most unusual way.

Until then . . . Have a great weekend!
