April Showers??????

Decided in March to do my April page for the 365 Art Journal Calendar based on April showers, but guess what, we haven't seen a drop of rain, lol.  It's been such a beautiful, sunny and warm month.


So the unrolled umbrellas are there just in case and the open ones are to shade from the sun.

Hope to start on my May pages this afternoon.

Take a look here to see other brilliant pages.

    Normally you would have been spot on! They are already talking about hosepipe bans.... Love these pages, and I am sure May's will be lovely too.

    Do you not find it worrying that we haven't had lots of rain in April? It seems odd to me but this sunshine is lovely...it does make me wonder what sort of summer we will have?! Love your umbrella themed April. x

    Love your happy, spotty look - so fresh and spring like. Hope we soon get some rain though, I think the ground needs it! Hugs from very cold and dry Germany, Valerie

    Ha ha, yes, no rain in sight for the whole month, but who would've guessed that would happen in April?! I think it has been the warmest April since 1942 or something. Your pages look fab filled in :-) x

    Absolutely adorable! Unfortunately, I can't say the same about our April - it was wet, rainy and it even snowed one day! Thanks for your visit and your lovely comment. Hugs, Terri

    Hi Ann, love the colours on these pages and love that dotty paper :-) I had intended putting at least one umbrella on mine but never got round to it!
    As for mine - I'd coloured several pages in the book before deciding to use it for my 365 calendar this year and couldn't mathc up the colours on the pages that should've been April so just left them out. Anyway did manage to sort them and halfway through April decided I should use them so went back! - I said it was long and boring!
    See you tomorrow - the tiffin's made, hope I don't forget it LOL
    Anne xx

    Fab pages Ann - think we all got caught out with the April showers theme last month - and that Stampotique missy is just the perfect finishing touch
