A few weeks ago, I was excited to post the Kelly Saints Cathedral Clipart Craft Kit I created to transform the Michael’s ArtMinds Wood Barn into a Church for the Wooden Painted Saints.
Well, I felt Julia’s frustration when she couldn’t find this sold-out wood barn at Michael’s…and I’m so excited to present this tutorial to make the Kelly Saints Cathedral

January 21 is the Feast Day of St Agnes
St Agnes refused marriage at the age of 13, dedicating herself to Jesus and she was martyred for her Faith. She is known for the virtue of Purity and her symbol is the lamb. She is the patron of young girls.
Back from the Brink: Blog in a Blink

OK, so after my blog was shut down for THREE whole days, I’m so grateful to have a new host and an awesome techie friend Michael! He doesn’t know it yet, but he’s got a Catholic praying something fierce for him. While a few things were getting shifted around, deleted or updated…I only lost ONE post: the second half of Blog in a Blink 2014! So here it is, recreated on my newly hosted blog!

Feast Day Fun: Bambinelli Sunday
December 12, 2014 by 2 Comments
We were inspired by the book Bambinelli Sunday. See Bridget’s review below!
We decided to take advantage of the SNOW DAY … and make our own Bambinelli.
I was intrigued by 2 different homemade recipes for dough I found online: one for salt/flour dough and one for corn starch/baking soda dough. The corn starch dough made a cool kind of dough and it’s nice and smooth and bright white, but we must have done something wrong, because it will not keep its’ shape. The trusty salt dough was easier to work with and even though it can get a little crumbly, we like how our Bambinelli turned out.
