{ThumBody} LOVES You


I have been very frustrated lately, not only with life, but my children.
I found these boardbooks at the second hand store(Goodwill) and knew these would be great if I altered them. Right now seemed to be a perfect time to let our children have a little reminder that ThumBody loves them! I sat down to think of the good things about each child. It helped me to gain a new perspective & greater love for each of them.


the plain books. . .


Use a generous coat of Mod Podge then wrap the cut fabric (I used home decor fabric)to fit.


Let the outside dry.


Cut the colored scrapbook paper to fit on the inside. Use double stick tape to adhere it to the boardbook.

Ways I Love Them:
