It is the 28th of the month, so I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls! This is the fourth anniversary of the first post by our group and it has been a great three years!

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers.  Jeanette is the founder of the group--and no, that does not mean she is really old.  She also decided on the theme for this month and here is her challenge for the group.

Jeanette posted--If you’ve ever been any of the swap threads that I participate in, you know that I like holidays, normal ones, weird one, funny ones. EVERY day is worth a celebration. So, for this month’s Calendar Girl challenge, I want you to select a holiday that is CLOSE TO your own birthday and make a card for that holiday.

Here are the “holidays” that are noted for my birthday, October 1^st:  Balloons Around The World Day, CD Player Day, Fire Pup Day, International Day of Older Persons, International Music Day, Model T Day, National Lace Day, World Vegetarian Day.  Also, the week of October 1-7 is Walk Your Dog Week.

So—I am sure that any of you who know Jeanette would understand why I picked  “International Day of Older Persons” holiday.  Why would I want to disappoint Jeanette on her month of hosting?!  It is clearly a holiday that needs to be observed for her, I mean, in "OUR" honor!  This is said by the woman who is "known as older than dirt"!

Here is the inside of my card: 

 

This sentiment just makes me hoot--and reminds me of a few of the Calendar Girls who came for a visit last April.  I am not sure we will be able to do it again this year--but look out 2015!  I am hoping we can get together then and hopefully add a few other GC to the gathering!
