I Spy…ALL SAINTS in NOVEMBER!

Which I Spy…November Saints do you like best?

I realize that my little wooden painted saints sometimes look like they are kissing…but it’s hard to keep them from moving around on the glass!

This technique of making photo-collages is really fun!

Dream Team of Saints: October!

October 9, 2012 by Monica McConkey 1 Comment

Awesome Saints in October! I just painted a couple more Saints to add to the collection! Rather than drive myself crazy trying to paint tiny detail with my mediocre brushes, I printed out some animals to hang out with St Francis and the Divine Mercy image for St Faustina. I lightly sprayed the color printouts with hair spray to ensure that the ink wouldn’t run. I glued them in place on each painted figure, added the saint hands over top, along with some paint accents (because my printer isn’t the best!). I sealed it all in with clear, water-based varnish, adding that little shine and extra durability. See more tips for making your own Dream Team of Wooden Painted Saints. Here are a couple other posts about What To Do with Wooden Painted Saints including Checkers, Snakes & Laddersand Trouble!

I’m linking up to the OCTOBER CeleLINKY with the SAINTS link-up to add my Saint-centered crafts and activities…and maybe pick up a couple new ideas, how about you?!

All Saints Day is coming soon! I think I’ll be showcasing the November CeleLINKY with the SAINTS a little early to give people time to prepare for All Saints Parties and Crafts for November 1st!

Catholic I Spy: Holy Coins!

June 29, 2012 by Monica McConkey 5 Comments

Our kids have been collecting various ‘holy treasures’, especially on our Catholic Bookstore tours. We have been known to pack up the kids for a driving trip, solely planned around Catholic Bookstores we want to visit. This may sound odd, but when we discerned that we would self-publish the book A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families, we were just very eager to get the word out and meeting Catholic Bookstore owners was a lot more fun than cold calling by phone.

From time to time, I receive Catholic products and books in exchange for my honest review. From time to time, I will write about our family's innovative way of using a particular product or I will include a short quote from the book to help convey how it equips Catholic families. I offer the direct links to the sponsoring company (no commission) but sometimes offer the Amazon affiliate link discreetly for the convenience of my subscribers. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. If you click on the Amazon Affiliate links and purchase something, I may receive a small commission...but this does not raise the price of your purchase. These linked products are books or items I either have or wish that I had, but the opinions are my own. Thanks for your support!
