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
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.

I love the pages you have created and I am hoping to create a few for my little ones thanks for the inspiration!
Oh I hope to win!
This is so cute! I had one of these when I was a kid and it’s an heirloom now even though it’s falling apart. I love that my mom made it for me and I bet Jax will, too.
Just found your site, you are amazing
I would love to win this set! I made your sandcastle page and adore it!
Thanks for sharing your ideas! I’m in the process of finishing my third quiet book page.
Love everything you do!
You are very talented xx

Congrats on your anniversary!!! Your ideas are so creative, unique and special. Here’s to winning…and following your awe inspiring self!!! 😀
Happy anniversary! I’ve had my eye on this page since you posted it! Crossing my fingers! 🙂
I tweeted it from @aubreyconner!
If you had asked me a year ago what a quiet book was, I wouldn’t have had a clue. But my good friend has made pages for her 3 year old and I have seen what an absolutely wonderful thing they are for learning, imagination and just keeping busy. My twin girls are still a bit too young for quiet books but that just means I have more time to get to making some pages for them.
Thanks so much for the giveaway! I always refer people to your site when they need a great pattern! [email protected]
This is the best page you have made so far. I can not thank you enough for providing templates for free. Going on a plane in july with my 2 year old and am hoping this book keeps him distracted. Thanks again.
I love your pages!
This would be great motivator for me to get started on my grandson’s QB.
Happy anniversary and thank you for such wonderful ideas and inspiration. I am making a quiet book using your ideas for my grandson in Australia and will be taking it to him on my next visit in October. I have re-tweeted as instructed. Best wishes, Barbara (UK). [email protected]
Congratulations on the anniversary. I’m glad you have decided to maybe offer the kits… I seen someone else had mentioned it too. I love your sight and designs.
what a lovely giveaway! I have been meaning to make a quiet book for ages, and this would spur me on! I always find your blog inspiring.

Your work is incredible! Absolutely look the Quiet Book pages and other felt activities.
I am starting my quiet book today and would love this addition.
I love your blog. As I’m typing this, I’m taking a break from making the sand castle page you have posted. I hope it turns out well, but no other blogs that I have seen have such great patterns for their readers to follow.
Thanks so much for offering this kit to the winner. I dont have a twitter account…
I LOVE your quiet Book pages… As I was looking them over I suddenly remembered, that my mother did a quiet book for ouroldest son… I haevn’t sen that for quite some timee ( He’S 11 now) But I am definitely going to be making one for our little girl.. and since she is only 4 moths old I have allthe time I want to get going and finfish the pages!! I think the thing I admire most is the way you kept the book together with binderrings so you can swap out pages!! Very creative and VERY cool! That way even “older” pages can come back and be “New ” again!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the great giveaway. I am hoping to make a quiet book for my son this year, your website is such an inspiration.
Happy Anniversary! I love looking at your patterns and made the dino page not long ago. I also retweeted this! @terecaw.
