December Nature Calendar

December 5, 2014 By: amyswanderingcomment

Since I already shared the Christmas Countdowns, I was planning on having the Celebrating December set ready to go over the weekend. I of course forgot there was a calendar in the pack. Use the December Nature Observation Calendar to write or draw observations each day & keep as a record to compare with next year.

This is usually reserved for subscribers, but I am offering it for free to everyone this month. I will also include it in the December set, as usual.
