Journaling or Notebooking is a huge part of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™. It is the method we use for documenting our studies in our Book of Remembrance Journals, as we don’t use workbooks, quizzes or tests. Journaling can be done on plain paper, but we like to make special Notebooking pages. Why?
- It adds interest to their papers – and a more visually pleasing Journal.
- It keeps before them what they need to write about.
- It helps them see at a glance what a paper is about.
- And this is all in addition to the benefits of just Journaling itself! These are just some of the benefits of having designed Journaling pages.
But, of course, designing Journaling pages takes time and some effort. Since this designing of pages isn’t vital to our education, (I think MyMini Books of Remembrance – Lapbooks – need to be more so,) I’m happy to utilize Notebooking pages that have been designed by others, when they fit the topics we study. And Debra Reed, of Notebooking Pages has designed plenty to fit most of our needs (and perhaps yours too.)
You can buy individual sets of Notebooking Pages from Debra, or for a super deal, you can become a Treasury Member and have access for a full year to thousands of Notebooking Pages that Debra offers (including some 3-D ones for designing your MyMini Books of Remembrance – lapbooks), both current and future (while you are a member.) Debra adds new pages every 4-6 weeks. Inexpensive Annual Renewal will keep you getting everything to come.
But, something even greater is in the works at Notebooking Pages. The Notebooking Publisher™ is a new web app being added to the Treasury Membership site that will help you and your children create completely customized Notebooking Pages, easily. You’ll be able to customize text, photos, clip art, and add pre-loaded embellishments to the 100’s of pre-designed templates there, or design your own! Your students can also type their papers right onto the templates before printing, rather than writing on them by hand. (More about that tomorrow.)
The Treasury Membership is already a super value, at $74.95 for over $600 worth of Notebooking Pages (plus all the new updates over the next year). The Notebooking Publisher™ is no doubt worth this amount also, all by itself. But it will be included FREE for members. But that’s not all. (I feel like a infomercial salesman. But this truly is so exciting!) Debra is giving a 25% discount AND an Additional 3 months Membership to those that join the Treasury Membership (or renew) this month. This is a super outstanding value. And NOW is the time to join, and save yourself a lot of time and headaches trying to design your own Journaling pages.
Me & My House will continue to offer our exclusive Journaling Pages specific to our Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ studies. But, with our new affiliate partnership with Notebooking Pages, these will be of great help for your general studies.
Tomorrow morning I’ll share more about the new Notebooking Publisher™, and a special party to launch it tomorrow night!
