Here are a few of the highlights from our Little Flowers Girls’ Club Meeting for the Wreath II virtue of Loyalty and St. Lucy:

Amy gave the talk on Loyalty for this meeting and read a story about St. Lucy from the lovely book Around the Year Once Upon a Time Saints
by Ethel Pochocki.

The notebook page for St. Lucy was my favorite from this past year. It was simple, but I just loved the image of St. Lucy and thought the page turned out so pretty. We started with red and white cardstock. I then found a poppy flower border (flipping it for the right side of the page) to decorate the corners. I also typed the St. Lucy prayer so that, when it was cut out by the girls, it would be heart shaped. The document I made can be downloaded here.
Here is my sample page:

Since the flower for this meeting was a Poppy, I ordered the Memorial Poppies with Poem from Oriental Trading and replaced the poem with the memory verse.
Had this meeting taken place in November or December I would have loved to make Santa Lucia Crowns with the girls again. Maybe next time!

Jessica, your blog is a treasure trove of inspiration. I recently ordered the leadership manual and member's guide and promotional dvd on LFGC to present to my pastor, and soon will be heading up a LF group at my parish. Your LF meetings are so wonderful ! and I do love your kitchen counters!
Lovely, Jessica. 🙂
Thanks for not posting about my EPIC fail in the Lucia bread department… oh wait, maybe I just did, lol.
Thank you Gardenia and Kelly!
And, Amy, your so funny!! The Santa Lucia bread you made looked AMAZING!! 😉

Jessica,
Thank You for sharing your Lf ideas. The notebook pages are beautiful.Do You use these instead of the LF member books or along with them? I am leading my first LF group this year and I am trying to find ways to make it very special for the girls.
I use the notebook pages in addition to the Member's Guides for each wreath. After each meeting the girls slip their new notebook page into a protective sleeve in their binder, and it is such a nice keepsake for the girls.
