2026 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ April Easter Bunny

Welcome to my Corner of the World

For the last 5 – 6 years I have designed and enjoyed making my flip over desk calendar for the ladies who came to my classes.  As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month.

So today I share, April with an Easter Bunny theme, with an easy fun fold ~ check out the video 🙂
