Something my mom and grandma made for their children was a quiet book. Us kids were only allowed to play with it at church. I loved playing with that book growing up so I decided to make one for Elsy and the future kiddos. I have been working on it on and off for months and am still not as close to being finished as I want to.
I was going to share the whole book when it was finished but I'm to excited about these pages I have already made to wait. So here is the page I just finished this week. The Mailbox Page!
For this page I just followed a pattern from a really great quiet book blog I found.
Inside the box is a pocket to hold all the mail and the flag rotates. (Thanks grandma for the grommets and grommet punch!)
I knew I wanted one of the pages in the book to have holidays so I decided to make each "letter" be for a different holiday or event. I did Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween, and a birthday card.
Fun, right? Elsy already loves carrying the envelopes around and opening the snaps. Hopefully they won't get lost before they make it to the church pew!
