Lapbooking workshop


I hosted a lapbooking workshop with my friend Tiffany the other night. She is the one who got me hooked on this in the first place and several people had asked to have a hands on workshop for Moms. I offered to host it at our roomy kitchen table. It turned out to be a fun night. Hopefully it wasn't too much work for Tiffany. We had met a few weeks ago to come up with some folds and work on the design of the lapbook and she did the rest.

We had about 12 people come and learn some basic folds for lapbooking. The sample lapbook we made was for the 12 days of Christmas and what they really mean. The idea is that once you learn some of the folds, then you can use those ideas with different topics. I already want to make a lapbook about Annie Oakley (just picked up a biography on her the other day).

As we move on from here to our new town/state, I am praying that we find another great homeschool group that we can connect with. One that will welcome us as well as this one has.
