Quiet Book Tutorial


Hello there Sisters,
I have made a Quiet Book Page tutorial for you to help you over the next few months. This is my first time ever doing a tutorial via internet so it is very low budget. (Please overlook my errors and crazy loud family. )It is the little touches that make the page so darling and cute such as stitchery, texture and color. There are some great ideas to inspire your page check out these websites http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/or shelleywallace's shop . We have a lot of sisters involved in our swap so help each other and work with and communicate with your partner. Infact our number went up from 15 to 17 pages now. Stephanie W. and Rachelle L. have joined the swap. By the way, you two can be partners, OK! This is exciting and fun for everyone and we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to be involved and participate.
A little reminder***you will have to make your own front page of the book but not the last page and design it the way you want to suit your family.

This is the first half of the tutorial. Instructions # 1-8


This is the second part of the tutorial. Continuing at Instruction#9.


Alright, I think we have it finally working. Thank you Cheryl for all the work you put into making them. They are very helpful. Let's see, did I forget anything Cheryl?  Anyways, ladies give us a call if you have any questions. - Cheryl H and Rach P.

Hanging Gardens Class TONIGHT

Hey Everyone, I know this is a last minute post. I just wanted to announce one more time about the class we are having tonight. We are putting together Hanging Tomato Planters. It's at Rachelle Poulsens home at 6 or 6:30. I can't remember which one we announced, pathetic I know :)  Be sure to bring your buckets, soil and starter plants. I know the priesthood are having some sort of meeting tonight, so go ahead and bring the kiddos if you need to.  If you have anymore questions give Rachelle Poulsen or Cheryl Hallen a call. We hope to see you tonight. 


** I just wanted to give a little reminder to those who want to participate in making a quiet book, the kickoff will be at Cheryl Hallens home on the 19th. I will post again about it later this week with better details.


***One more thing...How many of you use facebook? I was wondering if it would be worth while to set up a group there for announcements also. The YW use it, and I was wondering if it would be helpful to you all with getting the word out about activities and etc.  Just a thought, leave a comment and let me know. Thanks - rach
