Before I even begin posting some of the pages that I plan to create, I thought it only proper to give credit to the blogs that inspired me to make my quiet book:
How To Make A QuietBook
This blog is where I originally got the idea to even start this endeavor. Anna, the creator, included step-by-step instructions for many of her pages. I specifically utilized her "Gathering the Supplies" and "Before You Sew" posts to get an idea of the fabric and other materials to use; also how to put the book together.
Imagine Our Life: Creative Living with a Toddler
I got many of my ideas for the activities on each page from this blog. I loved the detail and bright colors used!
Of course, I found both of these blogs via Pinterest (which is where I find most ideas these days).
My original inspiration, though came on October 4th, 2012 when my little E entered the world. We plan to have her baptized in the Adirondack mountains in New York this summer since it's such a special place for my husband and me. Therefore, I will be creating The Adirondack ABC Book. I realize that not many people share the same interest in the Adirondack mountains, but I hope you find my pages helpful and inspiring for your own unique creations!
Your book is so incredible! Thank you for sharing it! Now, I am inspired to make one as well!!!
