Anyone for Anya September Calendar or Summer Challenge (DT post)

Yes, I know it is Tuesday and the Anyone for Anya? Challenge started two days ago but I am sick! I caught a bug at work last week (teaching)... obviously my immune system needs to become stronger so I can cope with all the kiddies germs! I even had to decline work today because I thought it best not to spread my germs around. Sorry... off on a pity party there for a minute...

The challenge this week is to create something with the theme SUMMER or to continue on with the Birthday Calendar and complete the SEPTEMBER page. I have elected once again for the calendar page so I can have a completed one by the end of the year!  I went a little overboard with the pearls...oops!

The prize this week is a $15 voucher at

Mo's digital pencil
