CM friends Christmas Gathering

I'm finally able to sit and resize photos from before the Christmas holiday. I've been anxious to get these uploaded to add to my collection from previous years. I appreciate the ladies in my book club so much. We always have interesting discussions of Charlotte Mason's books, but we also are a group that is big on encouraging each other in Motherhood.


1/5 of our usual bookclub attendance ~ some years are just so busy for everyone, and some were recovering from illness or surgery. Some have children in city choirs and had their Christmas concert that night!


Here we took a breath and relaxed for a second pose.


This is the book mark that I made to give this year. I have always made them in warm colors in the past. This year, I had some blue book cloth leftover that was too small for a book repair. Viola...perfect size for a bookmark!




Lori, whose home we've been blessed to meet in for the last six months.



Deven


Krista, who chose the number (in our gift exchange) that corresponded with this lovely journal book and bookmark.

and here I am, reading aloud, as I love to do!


This is the bookmark that I scored! It is laminated in hard plastic, which is very handy.
























Don't you just love these? I think CM bookclubs should spring up all over the country, and members should make bookmarks with favorite Charlotte educational or parenting quotes!



That is your challenge, dear reader, for the New Year, should you choose to accept it!
It is enriching, meeting these kindred spirits and new-to-lifelong learning moms. Even moreso than meeting them and sharing online. :-)



Lets just call it an added bonus, shall we?
