Ever since I was a little kid, I've been in the habit of doing "a pinch and a punch for the first day of the month". My grandmother taught it to me when I was about four or five years old. It's an old British tradition that is supposed to bring luck. I've been saying it to my two boys since I can remember and now it's become quite the game to see who is the first to remember and get everyone else. Of course, it's just a gentle pinch and punch. This morning, I remembered before the boys woke up but thought I'd let them wake up fully before I pounced on them. Well, would you know it, my youngest came up behind me and got me.
Thinking about dates, I thought it would be fun to showcase some lovely Etsy calendar-inspired crafts from various talented artists.
