A Little Blog Break

This announcement is WAY overdue, but I think it is about time I made it. I will be taking a little blog break. I may come and share things from time to time until I am back into the swing of things.

I am really busy with helping to start a new co-op/homeschool support group in our area. Boy this takes up a lot of time. But it will be well worth it. I really feel God moving in a big way with this ministry and am just tickled to be a part of it.

In the month of June I was busy with getting ready for the WHO convention and presenting 2 workshops there. That really took a lot of our time as we were preparing some wonderful hands on activities for the attendees. I was SHOCKED at how many showed up to my 1st workshop... 85 people. I was overwhelmed. I have never given a talk like this (except at our local used curr. sale) and was beside myself somewhat. But I love lapbooking and I think all and all it turn out just fine. :) The next day was much better. There were about 25 or so people

Here is a picture from my workshop and some from the convention:

My Booth (Representing In The Hands of a Child Lapbooks)

This was at my friends booth. She has created these WONDERFUL countries studies. We actually used her Russia one and learned so much about it. You can see what we did HERE. To learn more about her products you can visit here: Into All The World.

3 girls protecting the booth...

We will be doing Brazil next using Into All The World Country Studies.

All the kids but Jake are away at summer camp for the next few days.

After this camp, Jessica and Holly will be a horse camp for a week. They are really looking forward to this. I am sure I will come back on her to share their adventures with you all.

We are also planning a Chocolate Study using HOAC Chocolate Project Pack and a few other items I have found to expand on the topic. I will surely post about this fun event! If there is time, I want to get a horse project pack from HOAC and a unit study completed. We shall see.

I am also working a couple subject with the kids that need to be finished before our new school year that starts in Sept. Yes, time does fly and Sept. will be here before I know it. We don't have much to catch up with, but with all the breaks/happenings this summer, we still need to set time aside to accomplish these things.

Thanks for the private emails from others that have been wondering where I was at? It makes me feel so special. :) What would I do with out you all? Thanks for your encouragement.
