I am honored to receive my first nomination for a blog award.  Thank you to Noreen of Rosary Mom for the Stylish Blogger Award.  I plan to reciprocate by nominating a couple of blogs and responding with a special post, but I was thinking…

No, they’re not Saints for an All Saints Party.  Our Catholic School can’t seem to let go of the Halloween “Spook-a-thon”, but I can at least insist that we have Friendly Halloween Costumes, without the gore or the scare factors.

This is my first Links of Light Bulbs post!  I will be posting collections of ideas that I have found online and hope to tweak for my family and for my blog.  If you would like to join in with your own posts of collections of ideas, please borrow my button and join me with Links of Light Bulbs!

1. Travel Ice Box: nice and cold, no leaks and melts into refreshing drinking water!  Fill with ice cubes…just don’t fill the whole jar with water and freeze because the plastic jar will crack with the lightest of taps on a counter. Trust me.

I saw this cute Miniature Memory Game and thought I’d like to ‘convert it to Catholic’!
I found my 3/4″ circle punch and started cutting out the images.  I figured I could use duplicate holy cards (not that I really want to cut into them, but you can get such beautiful saint images!), or duplicate Christmas cards for the images.
I happen to have the added advantage of having lots of Cathletics Playing Cards and Reverence and Awe Collector Cards.  The Reverence and Awe Collector Cards have colorful illustrations of Vessels and Vestments and Sacramentals which are great for these miniatures.  Depending on how they are cropped, they could be a little abstract…but very interesting.  I just have to make sure to crop them in the same place, so that the 2 images are identical.
