So this is how I've spent the last few evenings de-stressing from my day. I babysat two kids today-not sure I'm up to having 5 kids-it was wild but fun. Not that all days are stressful by any means, but for me there's nothing quite like doing something creative to bring me down a few notches. I've wanted to do a quiet book since my girls were little, but never did. I planned on just putting together something fast, but got carried away in the fun of it. Plus I used all old scraps, I didn't buy anything and that made me feel good and thrifty :) It felt like creating scrapbook layouts-only with fabric-so up my alley :) Some of the images were from an old quiet book my Mom gave me, funky early 80's colors-I should have posted the weird-looking kangaroo (mom, why is that kangaroo wearing a collar?!) Anyway, hope Noah enjoys it, and hope I get to sit in sacrament meeting at least for a few weeks!

This book is awesome, I love it. Now I want to make one, but by the time I do it my kids would be 16 years old! I can just see them sitting there playing with the buttons ... Had fun at the park and glad you survived 5 kids :-) Plus, you are so nice for the comments on my pics!
SOOO CUTE! You are one talented woman. I wish that I had the patience for that kind of thing. I am working on Tayler's baby scrap book right now. It will be the only scrapbooking I do for each of my kids I think. I'm just too fidgety. Hope all is well!
