    This is sooooooooooo cute - she's going to love all the stitches you sewed into it.

    It is just fantastic. I made several in the past, and my grandson is 4 and I have still not completed.......so off to the drawing board. Removed the pages that were too young, and replaced with harder pages for older age.......Not quite through with it yet. Using Buckles, snap, Locks, keys, Combination locks, etc.

    That is so cool...and it does look like a LOT of work. I'm sure it will be treasured!

    What a wonderful book for Violet to play with for a long time and grandma did a great job all the way roud. Yes, I agree it looks very labor intensive, but you took the challenge and Violet will absolutely love it and spend hours playing with it because there are so many activities tied into the book. An amazing amount of work and grandma did good. You go girl. Awesome.
