Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
Consoling the Heart of Jesus A Do-It-Yourself Retreat by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC.
I liked the approachable writing style of this book and found myself thinking ‘Hey, I have felt that” and “that’s what I was thinking” as the author articulates how the reader might receive the down-to-earth instructions and possible obstacles to consoling the Heart of Jesus.
On the brink of September…I realize that I never posted my TY Saint Dolls for August. I thought I’d give you a sneak peek of these two Saints, made by my friend Lucia.
Our first DIY Teddy Bear party was so much fun that we had another Teddy Bear party for the same kid when she was 10!
For both parties, I was able to find very reasonably priced bears for each of the kids attending the party. The second time around, the bears were only $1 each at Dollarama!

A few years ago, dollar stores were selling off
TY Teenie Beanie Bopper dolls.
My friend Lucia began collecting these dolls and turning them into her family’s favorite saints!
She told me how she found the little accessories at dollar stores and craft shops. Her 7 kids love playing with the dolls and learning about the saints. Lucia sent me pictures of the TY Saint dolls that she has made.
We have this great deck of cards called the Cathletics Playing Cards. Each of the numbered cards have elements of the Catechism and the face cards are St Joseph (the Jack), Mother Mary (the Queen), Jesus (the King!) and the Trinity (the Ace).

Hello!
My name is Kelly and I will be 13 in November.
When I was in Kindergarten, I was very unapproachable and stubborn. I cried. a lot. On my first day of school, my teacher suggested that we all draw self-portraits. Though all the other kids had A LOT of fun doing so, I tried and tried to make my drawing as good as something my older sister would draw, and failed. I cried and cried and even said the “s” word (”stupid”). What can I say? I was a Kindergarten rebel. I vowed never to draw again. But how could I do THAT?!? As weeks followed, although I remained unmanageable, I began to draw. In fact, the classroom was suddenly covered in my drawings. Yes, THAT is where I got my start.
I Spy…October!
I Spy…September!
I Spy…August! I Spy…July! To find out how I made these photo-collages easily at home, check out Catholic I Spy…with a Scanner!I can’t believe that IKEA is selling these soft fruit, vegetables and carpenter tools…and that I discovered them just when I finished making my FELT FORT for Smidge’s birthday!
They are a whole $10 per kit, with anywhere from 9 to 15 pieces, but they are already made and come with little material baskets or a tool belt! They have more sets too! I think I saw cupcakes and a whole breakfast tray of food.
