Emily Emergency File

by GypsymonkeyAug 30, 2005
At my kids' school, during the first week when feeling out all the paperwork for the year, they ask us parents to make up a little emergency baggie in case of earthquake, etc. to have at the school.  In the back, we put the emergency contact information, a small packaged snack (the kind that won't spoil without refrideration), and a note to our child to comfort them.  This year, I made the kids Emergency Files.  I did most of the work on the computer.  For some reason, I don't fuction all that well at 2 a.m., and didn't trust to do it all hands on.  I wish I had paid more attentio before printing everything out as on the page that has the journaling, I didn't change a couple of words.  Also, thought the first pic was centered, but as I said, at 2 a.m., I'm not fully functioning!  LOLI don't know all of the products I used.  The template for the folder was downloaded from online.  The folder itself is made from suede paper.  I used the suede paper for Emily's folder because she really likes the feel of soft things.  I thought that if there was indeed an emergency, she could rub the back of the folder, feel the softness, and hopefully find some comfort in it.  ON the cover, I used Scrapbook Wizard Seaside Thicker Sticker Alpahbet, Scrapbook Wizard SeasideWashed Demin Thick Stickers, and NRN Designs Reflection Talk Stickers.Journaling reads:  Emily (had to black out Derek's name here due to not editing before printing),  Hi, sweetie!  Right now things may seem scary.  Try to be brave and know that your friends are feeling the same as you.  As you look through this special file folder made specially for you, remember that daddy, Derek (again with the blacking out of wrong name here), and I are all thinking of you.  We'll all be back together soon.  You have a little snack here.  You might be hungry, but try to make it last as long as you can.  Know that we all love you!  Love,  (and then had dh, Derek, and I hand sign it).Thank you for looking!

This is just so sweet, what a wonderful thing for her to have in the case of an emergency, and how thoughtful to make it from suede knowing that soft things comfort her.  Way to go.

I love this. I know first hand about the emergency baggies.  I'm sure that if she ever needs it, this will bring her some comfort
