Prayers for my Children- Flipchart

I have had a lot of comments 

about this little book lately on social media 

and thought I would share 

the whole prayer flip chart with you.

 Made in 2007 -

 so guess this year it is 8 years old. 

 Still using it and still praying for my children,

 and their spouses now,

 and the grandson that has been added.

  We made this at a Keep the Faith

 event we held at our church.

We had the cardstock cut

 and punched for us at a local printers.

They have since gone out of business. 

I knew I would never get them cut straight

 and punched so nicely. 

It does make the project

 if you can have that done.

Especially if you are going

 to make them in multiples

 for a group project.

 Doing ONE- I could probably

manage it ok and deal

 with it not being perfect- if it was for me.

( or for me to give as a gift)

 The cardstock measures: 31/2 by 5 1/2inches

We made the set to have 36 pages.

That gives you one for a cover-

a dedication page, 

and 3-4 for pages that have spots to add photos.

 Two O-rings keep it together 

and works great for flipping.

 What I love about this project

 is that it will stand on a shelf or table

 and be a visual reminder of a call to prayer.

Here is the link to download both the words 
and an instruction sheet for this project.
These photos are of another that I had made-

prayers-for-my-children

 The verses are torn 
and Distress ink is added to the edges.

Scrapbooking supplies
 add interest and make the pages
 each a bit different.

I used 4-5 sheets of coordinating scrapbooking paper 

to use for the whole project to give it a cohesive look. 

You can whatever fits your personal preference.

Stamps, brads, ribbon, eyelets,

 snaps, safety pins, punched crosses.

Whatever is in your stash.

In any project-

 the mantra simple and done

 is better

 than fussy and waiting to be finished.

Wire and beads and a paper clip.

Paper clips and tags.

  One mom kept it by the front door
 and grabbed it to say a blessing
 as her children left in the mornings.
One keeps it bedside to 
bless her children at night time.
 And one mom tells the story
 about her daughter off to college and reports -
 "after this many years-
 I know what you will be praying
 for me each day of the month."
