Our little blog is 1 year old this month! While I’ve been making websites since 1997 and blogging since 1998, it wasn’t until I had my little Jax that I decided to create a separate blog for all things crafty, creative and kid-friendly in our lives. It actually took a few months before I started to work on making the site because I needed a name.
When inspiration struck, it was due to two of my favorite songs: Imagine, by John Lennon and Across the Universe by The Beatles.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
they call me on and on across the universe.
To celebrate our 1 year “blog-iversary”, I am giving away a kit to make our farmer’s market quiet book page. This is not a completed page, but the supplies to create your own.
Included:
- felt (winner decides if the pieces are pre-cut and ready to sew or not)
- wooden tags (winner decides if the vegetables are painted on or not)
- Velcro (the green Velcro will be cut into the needed shapes if the felt is cut)
- ribbon & ric-rac
- yellow seed beads
- embroidery thread
- needles (hand-sewing and beading)
- (I do not have any more of the seed packet beads I added to my page, and they are no longer sold. These will not be included in the kit.)
How to enter:
- To enter, leave a comment in the blog comment form below. Make sure you fill in your email address where it asks so I can contact you if you win.
- For a bonus second entry, retweet the following tweet first, then tell me you did (include your twitter name) in your blog comment.

Your quiet book blog has been the inspiration for me to start on this new craft project! I have a 7 month old and am working on a basic one for when he is a bit older. I hope to hone my skills enough to get good enough to make pages like yours. I used to do a lot of scrapbooking but don’t have enough space for that now. Quiet books are a good project to do anywhere, which is great!
Thanks for all your hard work on these pages and please keep sharing your wonderful designs. They give me something to aspire to. 🙂
If I win the Farmers Market page, it will get me started on a more advanced design and definately get me out of my “comfort zone.” Fingers crossed that I win!
