Special Days in June

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

As I look around my craft room at all the unfinished projects and all the ideas awaiting action, I wonder where to start. Do I start on next Valentine’s Day projects? Do I finish last year’s Christmas projects? There are so many things to do, all of them worthy and not enough time to squeeze them all in. Once again, I look to my calendar for inspiration. The upcoming June holidays are actually inspiring me to use some of my previous project ideas in different ways. I think some of those Valentine ideas will adapt themselves well to Red Rose Day in June. There are some Indepdence Day (US) supplies that I can also use for Flag Day (US).

Some special days in June around which to create themed crafts are:

  • Red Rose Day on June 12
  • Flag Day (US) on June 14
  • Fathers’ Day on June 18
  • First Day of Summer (Summer Solstice) on June 21

Just in time for Mother’s Day is the “Home is Where the Mom is” Painted Paper Heart Box at Creative Geek. This is a fast project for all ages and is sure to charm any mom. Visit a local craft or discount store to get a small paper box, some craft paints and crackle medium and paint away. It’s that simple!
