Art calendars have become so popular! You can get them in any theme. Of course I love chickens and bought this calendar last year. I bought it because I LOVE the pictures and couldn’t bear to throw the calendar out in 2021. So I created several crafts for these adorable chicks!!
Placemats
Carefully cut out the pictures. Head to Office Max where they have heavy duty lamination sheets in all sizes. They’ll laminate and cut the borders for you! Now you have gorgeous, functional placemats for 12!
Hurricane Lamp
At Office Max have them print off a large copy and some small ones of your favorite print. Head to the Dollar Store to find a hurricane lamp or vase. Place the picture inside the vase and set a LED candle inside! It’s gorgeous during the day and a night!
Flower Pot
At the Dollar Store you’ll find inexpensive terra cotta or plastic flower pots. Mod Podge a smaller picture into the pot!
Complete Table Setting
Now you have an entire table setting theme! 12 placemats, a candle and a flower pot! I love it!
Two parallel 40-year careers in media and in food that still excite me to this day. 24 farm animals that remind me that there are always needs much greater than mine. A tiny bit of free time here and there to go fly-fishing. And a kitchen that has become the joyful and busy heart of my home and my world.
