NEW! Patron Saint Journal Stamp

January 12, 2017 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

I just received my first Patron Saint Journal Stamp and I love the way it turned out! I’ve been trying to find ways to keep myself a little more accountable, more consistent in my daily prayer and exercise habits and more focused on turning to Mother Mary…when I start getting stressed out or when I start to stray.

Into the Arms of Mary

December 30, 2016 by Monica McConkey 1 Comment

This is why I’m not going to use the Saint Generator this year.

Now is the time to figure out all those resolutions for the new year, right? As Catholics, our new Liturgical Year began with the first Sunday of Advent, but I don’t know, I still use January 1st as a new beginning. Rather than tackling 100 resolutions that will likely fizzle out by Epiphany, I’m trying to narrow in on a few practical and challenging-enough resolutions that I might be able to keep…and will help me pray, draw closer to Jesus, get healthier, better fulfil my vocation and enjoy 2017 to its fullest.

1. Stamp every blank paper in sight. Stamp sketchbooks and stationary, notepads and card stock for instant customization with the friendly saints. Cheer up lunch notes, teacher notes and really any friendly correspondence. What doesn’t look better with a Saint stamped on it?

Adjustable Liturgical Calendar

November 30, 2016 by Monica McConkey 1 Comment

Due to a recent reorganization of my office, my laminated Adjustable Liturgical Calendar for use year after year went missing. But that’s ok!…I have edited the craft kit for the 2016-2017 year, reprinted the pages and laminated them for this year’s calendar! There are no longer any years mentioned on the pieces of the printable, so you can use this same printable year after year!
