I made a little book for a little girl that is a friend of ours. It was her birthday. We had such warm weather a while ago that all I could think of was gardens. I guess that’s where this story came from. I had so much fun doing the artwork for it and coming up with the story line. The kids had fun making little books to. Drew’s is a flap riddle book and Israels is a glue-whatever-he-wanted-to-into-it-book. Tomorrow I’ll show how to make a 12″ by 12″ scrapbook paper into a little book. I don’t remember where I learned this from but it is easy and very fun so give it a try. The blank books make great gifts too… or sticker or writing books for little kids too.

I love teaching my kids about nature. And we always love to grow sunflowers! Here’s my own little girl tending her sunflower garden a few years ago.
And a sunflower we grew worthy of a prize!
And our sunflower garden from 2 years ago.
I plan to give the book I made with a little sunflower planted in a pot. Now, sunflowers don’t transplant well because they don’t like their roots disturbed but they do well started in a peat pot then put straight into the ground peat pot and all.
What a nice gift! She is one lucky little girl. You are so creative!
Thanks! It was fun!
