activity books!!
Update: You can now download a generic version of my activity books here!
Happy Monday! It is a new day, a new week and I have a new attitude! God has blessed me with this job and I need to start seeing it as the blessing that it is rather than something bringing me down. I am going to plan out dinners and try to walk on my lunch breaks to get energy. I am going to make the best out of the situation I am in. I am so blessed to even have a job right now, I know others haven’t had the same luck. For what it is worth, if you are looking for a job right now and haven’t visited a staffing agency I would recommend going to one. Apple One got me the interview at my company 
These took forever for me to post, sorry! They were fun to make and a breeze to put together. I can’t wait to see the kids use them!
I used italian cotton ribbon from this etsy seller to bind the books.
The back cover is perforated for them to tear out so we can keep the picture or note they make for us. I am preparing myself for the reality that not all the kids will do this, but that’s ok
I hope the kiddos like them as much as I do!

they’re absolutely adorable!
Adorable… and I love your logo on the back.
Well done!
These are awesome! I love them. I am going to make coloring books for our young guests as well, and if mine turn out have as nice as yours I will be happy!
FI agrees these are super thoughtful, great work… And kudos on the new ‘tude!
They look fabulous! I am taking inspiration from you and making something similar.
These are awesome! You did a fantastic job.
Love them! Turned out awesome! I will probably borrow this idea for my own wedding in the near future
Thanks.
gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not usually a fan of DIY projects. But this, now this one I really like.
I really love this. I’m not doing favors, but this is useful and cute!
ADORABLE.
super cute! nice work…
You’re so talented ! I wonder where you got it from ?
My Grandma Agnes first ! She gave us the creative bug. She was an art teacher and artist, had her own dark room for film developing, did all kinds of cool stuff ! Well done my creative daughter!
These are a-mazing! Wow. I love the color of ribbon you chose. The idea is great and I think could be used for any kind of party if you change up the activities. Did you use Illustrator or one of those programs to create the illustrations? I wish I could do more on my computer.
jen: I pulled most of the images from places like vecteezy that offer free vectors, then I changed them to look the way I wanted to in Illustrator
I absolutely love this idea (and your blog in general)!
I hope you don’t mind if I try it myself!
These are totally cute! What a great idea!
