The birds were nesting in May </div>

I thought I'd post early this month</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to brighten up the dark days we've had -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
real April showers !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My ATC for April was inspired</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by pretty blossom, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the soft green leaf shoots bursting into life in my garden </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and watching the birds collecting for their nests.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw one bird fly away with a petal from my cherry blossom !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One year we found an abandond Goldfinch nest</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which was beautifully made and lined with soft seed heads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a winter Clematis which gives soft fluffy seed heads </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which I've seen birds collecting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My calendar ATCs are following a theme</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of soft chalk background,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
light stamping,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
adding something found </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and something from nature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are inspired by what I see in my garden. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My January ATC</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
represents the dark grey sky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just before it snows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
down to the blue white</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the snow </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the sheen on it in the sunshine.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Red rose hips </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inspired by a favourite photo<br />
I took in the Churchyard one January.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and an honesty seed head </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just because I love them.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used chalks lightly brushed over with baby oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to give a water colour effect,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my favourite stamp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& some white glitter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
January brings the snow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was inspired by the rhyme</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I regularly read to the children<br />
when they were young.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I emailed Penny to ask if she was selling</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">her Altered Printer's Tray</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">please please please could I buy it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">This is not a swap</div><div align="center">but you can swap or</div><div align="center"> keep your own cards !</div><div align="center">it's up to you</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I will organise a link so you can add your ATC</div><div align="center">for everyone to see !</div><div align="center"><br />

make something,<br />
so today today I cut out some flowers...<br />

cut from the pages of an old book of poetry.<br />
The stained muslin<br />

The Erosion Bundle Project<br />
& the coffee stained paper<br />

making my fabric journal.<br />
