Before I get to the March link-up, I want to mention a couple more entries from last month's collection that I found really inspiring. Alongside February's topic of commonplace books, I asked about children's commonplace keeping. Both Lisa and Carol posted peeks into their older children's commonplace books. If you have students you're encouraging in self-chosen copywork, take a look!
And I also want to share a few lovely photos from over on Instagram:

I got my oldest daughter her first Commonplace, Celeste! She has added something to it too of her own volition. I just am loving mine that I've been finally making a habit of using. Can you imagine if I had started at her age? What a wealth of things that are made one's "own" through them!!! :D Exciting stuff, I tell ya! :D
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And isn't that true, the formative influence a commonplace can have on the older child? Thinking back on my own childhood/teens, I wish I had spent time keeping a commonplace rather than an angst-filled journal. I think it would have been pages much better spent. ;)
DeleteHa! I had my own share of angst-filled journals. You're doing a terrific service with the link up, Celeste. Thanks for being so organised & intentional with this. X
DeleteGlad to know I'm not the only one! ;) Thank you, Carol!
DeleteOh my yes, it would have been so much better to be commonplacing back then!! I'm so proud of myself, I actually managed to do it this month. :-) It only took until March... thanks for doing this, Celeste!
DeleteSo happy to have you join us this month, Amber! :)
