I think that this will be a treasured heirloom for Bridget. It occurred to me that this Prayer-Loom Prayer Book would be an **awesome gift for Confirmation candidates**...and an excellent addition to the **Faith Survival Kit** **(Dorm Edition)** I'm working on for my daughter Emily who will be leaving home for University next year! [![PrayerLoom collage](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/PrayerLoom-collage-532x400.jpg?width=532&height=400&name=PrayerLoom-collage-532x400.jpg)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/PrayerLoom-collage.jpg) Yes, this is another scrapbook! It is filled with the favorite prayers and images we have collected as a family and I have collected on Pinterest! You may remember the [**Pinterest Prayerbook**](http://catholicmom.com/2013/05/09/a-pinterest-prayer-book/) I posted about a while back. This project is further customized with the **favorite prayers, insight and personal messages from family and close friends**.  We always hope for good Faith-filled role models for our children....and this project builds on the involvement of these mentors in this Faith-building gift. [![PrayerLoom Prayerbook Pics](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/PrayerLoom-Prayerbook-Pics-533x400.jpg?width=533&height=400&name=PrayerLoom-Prayerbook-Pics-533x400.jpg)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/PrayerLoom-Prayerbook-Pics.jpg) The project was jumpstarted by **TWO Cathletics Craft Kits** available through our family apostolate:  the [**All Season Prayer Bank** ](http://www.equippingcatholicfamilies.com/2013/02/new-release-all-season-prayer-bank-with.html)and the [**Kelly Saints Scripts (Series One and Two)**](http://www.equippingcatholicfamilies.com/2013/11/new-saints-scripts-cathletics-craft-kit-series.html). The **Prayer Bank Craft Kit** has 74 little prayer cards with many of the classic traditional prayers along with some newer prayers as well.  The **Kelly Saints Scripts Craft Kits** offer awesome Saint illustrations for 42 favorite Saints. [![Prayer Looms Craft Kit 2014template](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Prayer-Looms-Craft-Kit-2014template-307x400.jpg?width=307&height=400&name=Prayer-Looms-Craft-Kit-2014template-307x400.jpg)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Prayer-Looms-Craft-Kit-2014template.jpg) I also compiled the **FREE** [**Prayer-Loom Prayer Book** ](http://www.equippingcatholicfamilies.com/2014/05/prayer-loom-prayer-book-treasured-first-communion-gift-whole-family.html)craft kit with instructions and suggestions to help craft your own customized Prayer Book, along with some extra templates to further customize it as a gift. We customized the one-page template and sent it to our family and friends to fill out some or all of the prompts.  As I received these back (hand-written and scanned or copied), I included these wise insights and favorite prayers within the book to further guide our little First Communicant.  As Bridget received additional messages on First Communion cards, I have included these (or photocopied them) to include in this one-of-a-kind prayer book! Even the older siblings enjoyed filling out the little form and adding to Bridget's **Prayer-Loom Prayer Book**.  I look forward to enlisting the siblings and other family and friends for Emily's **Prayer-Loom Prayer Book**...as part of her **Faith Survival Kit** I'll be working on this summer!
