Really beautiful! I want a band it all… I want a band it all lol

It is beautiful! I’m sure that Rick will treasure it. It is tough in the beginning but soon you will all adjust (even though adjusting is the last thing you feel like you want to do!). Lots of hugs and prayers for your family.

Thank you for taking the time to post this as your family prepares for the deployment. I know that all of your work will be appreciated by Rick everyday. This is just beautiful…as always!

My boyfriend will be in Qatar too. He’s a C-17 Loadmaster here at Charleston AFB. He leaves on Saturday, but will only be gone for 4 months. This calendar is a cute idea…I may have to whip one up to send to him because I doubt I’d get it done before he leaves!! Thanks for sharing!!

very sweet gift for him to have while he is there. i’m sure he will appreciate it very much

It looks wonderful, Beate. This is going to be very close to Rick’s heart while he’s away.

Wonderful calendar Beate! I’m sure he will love having it on his desk(sure hope he has one). Thank for the tutorial!

Your calendar looks awesome, and I’m sure it will be very special to Rick!!

This turned out wonderful, Beate — I really like it with photos!

What a sweet picture! I’ve been thinking about you! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

That is a beautiful lil treasure for Rick to care with him. ((HUGS))

The calendar is just beautiful, Beate! I can’t imagine having to be without my husband for an entire year…my thoughts and prayers are with you all, and also my thanks for the sacrifice all of you are making for our country. Blessings to you!! ({{{{big hug!}}}})

I’ve been praying for you, friend. I love your calendar book. It is just wonderful. {{{{{Beate}}}}

{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} What a sweet calendar!!

This is a wonderful treasure for Rick to have with him Beate! Blessings! Deb

That’s an awesome gift for Rick while he’s gone. He’ll look at it often I’m sure! The hardest part for me while my hubby was gone was all of the sleep I lost while IM’ing him in the middle of the night while he was up! The good thing is we had such good conversations on IM while he was over there. It was like we were dating again!! : ) Good luck with the transition.

This is a wonderful project!!

My heart swells with admiration for you, as you let your mate go for a while to do what he does. It is with complete thankfulness that I acknowledge the sacrifice that not only he makes, but as you all make as his family, for him to do his job. Thank you for all that you share with us, not just your beautiful work, but yourself.

I am so sorry you and the kids will be alone for a while. How hard that must be. This is such a nice way for Rick to remember the kids. I hope you put a lovely picture of you in there too. I am sure he will miss you like crazy! Many hugs!! We have all missed you.

gorgeous Beate … be open with rebecca and show her you are missing Rick too and its ok to cry - have a blessed time till he has to go. I love your calendar and I’ve been making use of my coasters and using the baroque motifs too .. big hugs

((((hugs)))) and much love.

I can only imagine how you all must be feeling knowing that Rick will be leaving again soon. Please know that I’m praying for you all !

Take care

My husband was deployed for 18 months and I sent him with a very fat 8×8 scrapbook of our family. The calendar is a great idea because even though it’s a cliche, the only way to keep your sanity is to face the deployment ONE DAY AT A TIME. My thoughts are with you and your family.

What a WONDERFUL going away gift! prayers for Rick and your family!

I love this!!!

This is such a cute idea. I would like t know where I can get the coasters, if you don’t mind sharing that info.
Thanks so much,
Kathy
