So, thanks to the new Ladies Group at our Church, I made a new Advent Wreath this year! I know it looks a little like a ball of cedar, but it was fun to make and gave us the push we needed to commit to the Advent Wreath and prayers this year.

30 Ways to play with the Saints!
October 29, 2014 by 1 Comment
Last year, 15 year old Kelly sketched 42 Saints for me for our Saint Scripts Craft Kits.
You can make your flipbook of Saint postcards with the Saint Scripts Craft Kits!
In the spring, I formatted the collection of Saints into little templates for the Kelly Saints Stamps Craft Kit.
Here’s a quick index of the ways to use this one craft kit, Kelly Saints Stamps:
Convert classic games to be Catholic, using the templates to make Saint game pieces!
Pressman Toy Checkers Board Games
The Kelly Saints Stamps templates are formatted in different layouts, different sizes and 2 different backgrounds. They can but cut into individual square stamps or into perfect circles with various sized circle punches…like this one: Martha Stewart Crafts Punch, 1-Inch Circle
Once cut, the Kelly Saints Stamps can be used in so many ways!
- Cake Toppers
- Saint Day cards
- game pieces for Monopoly Board Game,
- Sorry! 2013 Edition Game or
- Candy Land – The Kingdom of Sweets Board Game
- …or really any classic board game (or homemade board game!) that uses a flat board and a path of spaces!
- Place Setting Cards at the dinner table
that's right...there are some Amazon Affiliate links in this post, in case you don't already have these classic family games. It's true that with your purchase through these links, I could puff up my $6.84 affiliate balance over at Amazon to 10 whole dollars and qualify for a gift card...holding my breath. =)

I was also excited to discover that there is now a comprehensive Holy Traders Activity Kit available through Seton…and even more excited to have the opportunity to review it, receiving my own Holy Traders Activity Kit in exchange for my honest review.

Feast Day Fun: The Triumph of the Cross
September 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When Jesus’ Body was removed, the Cross was hidden so that followers would not find it. About 300 years later the True Cross was found! Constantine the Great had a vision of the Cross which led him to victory. In response, Constantine had the image of the Cross placed on the shields of his soldiers. Although stolen in 614 by the King of Persia, the Cross was restored in its proper place in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 629.

Well, I decided that there has been enough going on warranting a brand new 7 Quick Takes…but I’m hoping that I can write this pretty fast and catch some zzzzz’s. Here goes:
