Quiet Book

So I'm going to tell you about my new project that I'm working on.  It's a Quiet book for Scott and eventually for my other children someday (it better last that long).  I've been wanting to make one ever since Scott stopped sleeping in his car seat through church.  Well I'm finally getting around to it and the more I work on it the more excited I get.  My mom made us a quiet book when I was a kid and I have such fond memories of playing with it.  I'm doing quite a few pages from my mom's book but I wanted more church pages.  So I set out to make up my own patterns for pages and I got a lot of inspiration from other church quiet books.  As I've been making pages my friends decided to make it with me.  So I've started a blog of my pages with the instructions of each page so they could work on it without me.  I thought I would share this with you all so if you wanted to make one you could also.  We are having so much fun doing it and although Scott doesn't understand the point of the pages yet I am getting so excited for the day that he gets to have fun with it.  If anyone would like to start making one I'm open for questions and help at anytime.  Click HERE for the link or you can find the link on my side bar with the latest page at the Craft Time link.  Here's a few pictures of a few of the pages I've done so far.
