The hop starts with Lisa Woodward (http://mycraftyspaces.blogspot.com/). You won't want to miss a single calendar event not to mention the weddings, graduations, birthdays -- ok, you get the idea!!!! 

Here are my two cards:



The first things I thought of when I selected National Lollipop Day was the wise old owl and Telly Savalas.  I decided a card with the Owl would be more fun to create.   After all these years, I still don't know, "How many licks does it take"? 


One of my most favorite things is chocolate.  Chocolate milk, chocolate candy bars, a nice hot cup of hot cocoa.  The best of all however, is a sweet Milk Chocolate Hershey's Kiss.  

I realized as I am putting up this posting and reading the list again, that I am in error in my chocolate card. In my planner, I have written down as "Milk Chocolate" day, when I should have written down "Chocolate Milk" day.

The line-up for May includes:


Stop by and check out these holidays as I am sure you are going to want to remember these holidays and include them in your card making projects!!!!!

We will have blog candy to the lucky recipient that remarks on each site along the way!

Thanks for stopping by and mark your calendar again next month to see what Holidays to Celebrate on August 11th for the next Calendar Girls Blog Hop!
