The feast of Saints Joachim & Anne is coming up on July 26th! I’ve mentioned that we (four of the younger children) are currently working on creating the Saints Joachim & Anne Faith Folders (aka Lap Books) from Holy Learning. We haven’t quite completed them yet, but I do have some pictures of Rose’s Lap Book to share with you all today!
Rose and I decided to make a Double Lap Book, using two pastel green file folders, so that she would have extra space for a coloring page/pocket on the back to store the paper dolls she colored. We had so much fun making it together and especially loved looking through all our photos to find pictures of her with her grandparents for the covers of the “Grandparent Interview” booklets. (We still need to do the actual interviews which should be a lot of fun too!) We also printed wedding pictures of her parents, grandparents, and great grandparents for the “My Family Tree” page!

I personally think the best prayer to St. Anne is "St. Anne, St. Anne, send me a man!" (tongue-in-cheek) 🙂 Happy feast day!

Thank you, Jessica, for the post and for the information regarding the discount. I actually made my very first purchase with Holy Learning today. Your site really keeps me informed on the wonderful Catholic resources out there. Most importantly, you provide such wonderful pictures and details on many of your resources that it is very helpful when someone just needs a bit more information when trying to make a decision on whether or not to make a purchase at a sponsor's site.
Happy feast day. God bless.
