Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

What better way to start the new year than by blogging the January page of my 2023 desk calendar? I made one of these last year (it's a blank calendar from Paper Mill Direct), and this year decided to make life even easier by stamping directly on to the black calendar. For January, I picked a cute Penny Black image of two critters celebrating with glasses of bubbly (from the 'Cheering Critters' set), colouring the images with watercolour pencils.
