First Communion--"I Hope" Carousel revisited.
Years ago, when my daughter made her own First Communion, I made her an "I Hope" carousel. She is 13 now, and it still sits on her desk because she loves it. She said it serves as inspiration to her. I love that...
This year, a close family friend made her own First Communion. I decided to make her an "I Hope" carousel, in honor of the momentous event.
I had most of the statements saved in a Word document, so I simply printed them out on cardstock.
I did a photo shoot with her a few weeks before the actual event, so I could have pictures to add.
Our family created our own personal statements and added them to the carousel. I encouraged the kids to write something from the heart for our friend, Maddyn, and they went to work.
I added a few embellishments. Many included felt flowers of some sort...
I gave it to her before her party, so that her own family members could include their wishes for her during her party.
And I included a few photos of the church by itself. I think sometimes we forget to step back and include those types of things. Who knows what it will look like as time goes by, right?

I bought a few of these spinners with every intention of doing a mini album, but have never done it. This is such a lovely idea...such a treasure!
I've been looking for a crafty way to have guests leave thoughts for my daughters at their first communion party. This is exactly what I wanted! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Not to be needy but do you happen to have the docs?
Thanks again.
Found it! Thanks again. I have two to do for May and I can't wait to start!

Hello. I would love to do this for my son, could you, please, give me the docs? I also troed to find that spinner in my country, but I don't know how to search it...Thank you in advance! P.S. Your ideas are lovely!
Are you able to send the doc for this? - that would be amazing-- condoit@aol.com
Is there anyway that I could get the docs that you used for this? I am in charge of gifts for an upcoming first communion group and would love to have each family make one of these. If you could send them to me it would be greatly appreciated --stekkirsten@gmail.com
This is absolutely beautiful. Where did you find the carousel?
Would you mind sharing the word document? shellymm7@hotmail.com

Great idea! Has anyone found where to buy this spinner?
I love this idea! Could I have a copy of the docs also?
Thanks so much!
I would love a copy of the docs if you are sharing. susanneconrad@gmail.com
I had a hard time finding the photo carousel (the ones I found said they are discontinued) so I am using this instead (see link below). Wanted to pass this alone in case others are interested. There is 30% off code on their website as of today. You will also want to buy the photo sleeves. I also pasted that link.

Several friends of our children's will be making their First Holy Communion this Spring. This is exactly the kind of unique and inspirational gift I'd love to give them. But if I try to create pages as beautiful as yours from scratch it will become the kind of project I never finish. If you might consider sharing the pages you made I'd be very grateful. My email address is jenniferzambolla@gmail.com
Thank you for the wonderful idea!

Hi there... I stumbled across your site. My daughter is making her First Communion next weekend, and I'd like to create the 'boards/papers' that family and friends could use to write up their Hopes for her and then assemble for her. This is just beautiful. If you are able to share the documents, I'm at mpcunningham1973@msn.com and also to halfcafmochalatte@gmail.com
Thank you so much!
Hello! I found your blog looking for ideas for my daughter's upcoming first holy communion. Lots of wonderful inspiration and ideas you post. I noticed many have requested docs and info re: the "I Hope" carousel that you created. If you have any links on where to purchase the carousel and are able to share any of the docs you used, it would be greatly appreciated as I would love to make this for her. Thank you

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROJECT WAS CREATED IN 2008. IT HAS BEEN RE-BLOGGED AND RE-POSTED SO MUCH THAT NO ONE NOTICES THE DATES. THE PRODUCT AND DOCUMENTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. AT THE TIME, IT WAS A KIT, AND THOSE THINGS WERE PURCHASED. SO OUT OF RESPECT TO THE PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED THEM 8 YEARS AGO, I AM UNABLE TO SHARE. THANK YOU!!
Was the Spinner included in the Kit or purchased separately. If Separatley where did you find it?
