Thanks for the link to your sunflowers. They are beautiful, As for your question, we have 2 acres, my brothers land connects to ours in the back. Most of the year it's planted in either corn , cotton or soy beans. We are busy trying to fill out yard with life! Trees, plants and CHICKENS! A new adventure for us!

Apr. 15, 2008 - Ours is a treasure

Posted by HarmonyArtMom

We started our book years ago and it has been such a treasure to look over and over. We are thinking of starting a new one for high school since our old one is so full already. I love your idea. Barb-Harmony Art Mom

I like your method of making them the right size. (I'm assuming that's what the chart w/scissors on top of it is for.) Very clever! We are terrible about following through with the timeline, but I always have great intentions. I think we'll work on ours this afternoon. :)

We already do a timeline, but I think this is a great idea, especially with each child having their own book!

that is a perfect way to do a timeline, each child having their own book. thanks for the idea!!! My grandma used to make hair ( with a garlic press )and clothes, like you said, and all sorts of crazy things with the gingerbread people. She mailed them across the US to my sisters and I when I was a child -- from NY to CA...and they always came in one piece, surprisingly!

Those books look fabulous! Great job. We currently keep a wall timelines. I had a hard decision whether I wanted to keep that or a notebook. Thanks for your submission! Blessings, Melissa

Your kids have done a great job with their books of centuries! We use a timeline, but after seeing your post I'm thinking we might start a book too. Thanks for the inspiration. Blessings, Shannon http://www.shannon-songofmyheart.blogspot.com/ P.S. - Your photos are gorgeous!

Wow! My DD also has a BOC but not as well organized and neat as your children's books. I love the sticker idea! :) Makita 4twinklingstars.blogspot.com

Apr. 20, 2008 - Time for stickers

Posted by MusingMom

I love the format of your BOC. I used 11x17 Bristol board that I comb bound to make a giant BOC with the intention of downloading pictures from the 'net to make stickers. I never seem to have time to make them, though. Do you print onto labels? Do you keep notes on what people/events to look up? I'd love some suggestions to resurrect our BOC as my kids love adding the stickers into it. AtHomeScience Kris!

Apr. 21, 2008 - In answer to your question...

Posted by Keri

About the book of Centuries. Do you print onto labels? No I copy and paste to a calendar template on word perfect. It keeps the figures within the same size. Do you keep notes on what people/events to look up? Usually, on Friday I look back over the week to find whoever we have learned about during history or any historic person that the kids show interest in. I print out on regular paper, and then they cut and use scrapbook stickies to apply it. It is really quite simple. Hope this helps!

Books of Centuries look FAB! :-) Yes, HK Disney has resorts very nearby. Are you guys planning a trip over??? :-) Even if not, it's fun to dream, isn't it? We've been dreaming of a family vacation to Switzerland for years now. I don't know if it will ever happen, but it's fun to dream.

Great idea and great pics! I'll be starting one for my 1st graders (twins) this next fall and I was planning on using pics off the internet as well so I'm glad to see that it works well and looks very nice:) Jessica New Blog: nestofpleasantthoughts.blogspot.com
