I know that American Thanksgiving is this Thursday, followed by Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday…and I’ll probably have some special deals posted on our Cathletics Craft Kits…but HOLD ON!

The Feast of Christ the King (one of my favorite Feast Days!) marks the last Sunday of the Liturgical Calendar…Advent starts NEXT WEEK! The Jubilee Year dedicated to the theme of Mercy begins shortly after that, on December 8th!

If you’ve been hanging out here at Equipping Catholic Families, you’ll know that I’ve been creating little painted saints for quite some time and have come up with all sorts of ways to play with them! I’ve got quite the gallery of them now between my original painted saints and the Decoupage Saints I made with the help of Catholic Icing’s Printables.

I like creating Catholic craft kits, books and quizzing cards, but I’m a little bit old school. I create all my own artwork…or I personally make digital images of my daughter Kelly’s original sketches.
All Souls Day

Yup, we dropped the ball on All Souls’ Day this year… Good thing the door is open until November 8th for full plenary indulgences just for going to the cemetery and praying for the dead.
Actually the whole month of November is devoted to All Souls…so we can keep our special crafts and traditions honoring our deceased loved ones…all month long!

I was honored to receive Jen’s new 85-page ebook Our Family’s Jesse Tree for review!
I have over the last few years participated in a Jesse Tree Ornament swap, received these awesome Jesse Tree Treasures and made my own Handprint Jesse Tree Banner (which can also be used throughout Christmas, Lent, Easter and Ordinary Time with other ornaments or Saint tokens!)

The 2015-2016 Liturgical Calendar starts fresh in 27 days!
Have you ever tried to teach the concept of the Liturgical Calendar or wished that you had an easy way see it in ONE glance?
I’ve always eyed those circular Liturgical Calendar posters (like this: Year of Grace 2016 Poster Calendar)
…and now with Kelly Saints Comics, I have created an Adjustable Liturgical Calendar for use year after year, with 72 unique and awesome Kelly Saints Stickies to tailor the calendar with each family’s patron saints!
Bring a Jar: Make an All Saints Votive Candle!

Is your neighborhood filled with spooky witches and ghosts and CANDLES?
Well…we Catholics almost invented candles…saying Mass in the Catacombs by candlelight.
OK, maybe not, but we are certainly no strangers to candles…and Votive Candles at Church!

We’ve just released Series THREE of our Saint Scripts Craft Kits! Each kit includes a master set of Saint postcards or recipe cards with the Kelly Saints image, quick facts and short bio. These are great for quick reference…and we’ve put them on a ring for an easy Saints resource at home, quick facts and distraction in the van and for display at Catholic conferences.
