Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair some time declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm`d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breath or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Shakespeare
I first joined Mariannes calendar swap in july and chose the month of november...lots of ideas running round in my head...excited at the idea of doing something a bit different...then Paula came up with 'calendar swap ll' which i couldnt resist and this time i chose springtime may!! Time passes...(way too quickly)...and suddenly its october..i began making my calendars starting off with november then moving onto may and actually finishing it!!!
With lack of time, i ended up compromising...i wanted to do more...but i really enjoyed the opportunity to do something a little different...some collage mixed with painting and drawing and generally felt free to experiment and play...
Two weeks ago i sent out the may pages...so here they are...
So far i have received Risa's and Gracia and Louise's beautiful pages with added goodies...thank you so much! What a great collection its going to be!!
I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone for your lovely birthday wishes yesterday!! I enjoyed every one of them which put a smile on my face!!! xxx
