Review: Jesse Tree PDF by To Jesus Sincerely

November 16, 2020 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

I’ve seen Sara’s Mosaic Jesse Tree for years and I was so delighted when I discovered that she has made it available as a printable set!

Here it is in her shop: Printable Mosaic Jesse Tree

I eagerly printed the templates, wrote the numbers of the ornaments on the back in pencil, punched out the ornaments with a 1 1/2″ hole punch, laminated them and then punched them out again with the same whole punch. I know I can glue gun magnets to the back of them or punch a hole and tie a string tie, but I chose to stick them on the tree on this magnetic white board. Using the white board, I can make use of these adorable Little Drops of Water Saint Magnets and I suspect we might add little notes throughout Advent, written with the dry erase markers.

TS
The Calendar Saint Stickies Craft Kit has been around for a while and I’ve used it to embellish secular wall calendars and planners…and even add illustrations to some Catholic ones! There are 461 little illustrations of Saints….and Mysteries of the Rosary (that are Feast Days), plus little lists and logs for prayers and Sacraments!

May 28, 2020 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Years ago, we sold 18 different themed Cathletics Key Cards and they were a big hit with Sacrament classes, homeschooling and Godchild gifts!

They were laminated cards, carefully assembled individually or in bulk. The spinning color flap reveals and covers the answers related to each category within the theme of the card.
