Flip over calendar ~ November Pumpkins

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Welcome November – we are enjoying some cooler weather here in North Texas, the clocks will change this coming Sunday and the leaves are starting to fall – with a little help from the very high winds we had last week.

If you are a regular follower of my blog you will know that in the early part of last December I had a class to create a flip over calendar, everyone loved it and made me promise we will do another for 2022 – I am in the planning stages! I thought I might start each month this year by posting the page for that month, so today I share, November with Pumpkins, acorns and leaves – very autumnal!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

So here we are in September, back in the UK things would start to be cooling down, the nights drawing in and there would be misty mornings. Not so in North Texas ~ after living here for 20 years the only thing there is in common is the days are getting shorter, but they are still hot and dry!

In the early part of last December I had a class to create a flip over calendar, everyone loved it and made me promise we will do another later this year! I thought I might start each month this year by posting the page for that month, so today I share, September which has vibrant Sunflowers!
