feeling accomplished.

hi. so i wanted to share a major project that i have been working on this past week.

i've been wanting to make bri a quiet book for a while now because sacrament meeting is beginning to become a nightmare and she doesn't have very many quiet toys.

i thought it was going to be super difficult but it definitely wasn't! its more time consuming than anything else. especially doing all the details in the end.

i found most of my ideas on this blog. she gives tons of templates that are so cute and easy to follow. she also gives links to other sites that helped her. my other ideas i got from different quiet books that i have seen over the year.

but i'm really excited to share it so here it goes!

cover with velcro strap. i originally just wanted a sun but it turned out kind of "tangled-ish" (like the movie) which makes it better i think :)

puzzle velcro kite and zipper page which i already know will be bri's current favorite.

fishy tank and barn with finger puppets. the fish slide and the barn doors open to finger puppets :)

road pages with velcro street lights and car track :) bri loves cars right now and they can fit in the little pockets.

learning to tie with the ballet shoe (obviously for later) and velcro spots on the ladybug. LOVE these ones! :)

this counting page was inspired by my friend mal who is an amazing kindergarten teacher! and i think i will eventually redo the flower page cause im not a big fan of the handwritten numbers. but it will definitely work for now.

and finally the dressing up page! love this sweet dolly and her cute clothes!

 seriously. i love this and am so excited for bri to try it out tomorrow at church!

and if i can do it....anyone can. seriously.

i've also been doing some jewelry projects lately. this also is way easier than they look haha

i love the look of these nesting necklaces and mallory and i went to a free beading day at the local craft store and learned how to make them. basically its just wrapping wire. so easy and looks so cute!

 bobby and i also made these necklaces for our mom's for mothers day!

i found the idea for a lucky penny keychain on pinterest and knew i HAD to have a lucky penny necklace!

our mom's have a penny for all the years their kids were born and of course bri...their first grandbaby.

for mine i have the year bobby and i were married and 2010 for my bri baby being born!

i LOVE it!

sorry that the picture has such a glare....i couldnt get a good picture.

 thanks for letting me share!
