| The Project |

I decided that for the babies 1st Birthdays (My son, my niece, and my nephew), I'd create them each a "Busy Book". It's going to be sort of an activity book, where they have to undo buttons, zip zippers, snap snaps, use magnets, and a bunch of other fun activities. It will help them learn to match shapes, colors, and numbers. Each book will be slightly different, a more girly spin for my niece, Lily. A more boyish spin for my son Hayden, and my nephew Dawson.

Ice Cream Parlor, almost done! Need advice though!?!

So the Ice Cream Parlors are complete, except for the Mmm! letters. Originally I wanted it to read "Mmm!" but the lady I ordered the felt letters from did it all in caps, and I think it looks a little silly now, but I want to try to make do with these letters, so the options are:

MM!

Or.... MMM! kind of overlapped and staggered.

Which one looks best?? (i'm actually sad about this because it would have looked SO much nicer Mmm! like I had planned)

Also, for anyone curious as to how I was doing the magnets, here ya go!

I got these round magnet thingies from Dollarama. (metal disks with small round magnets) I glued the disks to the back of the page where the ice cream scoops will be stacked, and then each ice cream scoop has it's own magnet.

  1. Could you trim the capital M to make them into m's?

    I think the staggered look is great! The MM just looks like initials to me.

  2. I agree with K. Either trim the M to look more like an m or just go with 3 staggered Ms.

  3. I think MMM - the 2 M`s look a little off.
