quiet book

These are the last three pages of my quiet book. The first one is a number one. You pull the card out of the slot and it has the number on one side and objects on the other. The next page is a lace and tie your shoe. And the last page is zip up a tent. I couldn't find a bear, so there is a dog in the tent!

projects and such

Can I first just say that my neighbors are machines. They are older gentlemen, but they are outside at the crack of dawn shoveling their driveways! Makes me feel a little lazy sitting inside wishing I were still in bed.

Anyhoo .. I finished my quiet book! It took a lot longer than I thought, but I like the end result. Joe and I were looking back through the pages and Joe found a mistake. I had inadvertently placed the letter J backwards! Is it bad that I want to leave it? I'll post pictures of the pages I didn't have before. 

And finally, I am an official winner of a limited edition set of cookie cutters from Land O Lakes! Does anyone have the recipe for Grandma's Cookies? Especially the one with the pink frosting a mile thick?

My mom made me and my siblings a quiet book that lasted all the way down to me. I remember loving it as a kid and now appreciate all the time and work that it must have taken to create that book. This is my version of a quiet book that I hope Corban and my future posterity will like. 

This page is a pocket for paper, colored pencils, and paper. 

Match the shapes to the correct shape. The pocket is to store the shapes that aren't being used.

Who doesn't love Tic-Tac-Toe? This way you don't have to draw your own game. I still need to add a few more snaps to finishe this page.

Match the colors.
