It’s a bit of a tradition in our family to have a Magic Party for each child’s 5th birthday…driven by the fact that my Dad is a hobby Magician!
He has an awesome Magician’s robe, does beautiful magic shows and grows a pretty authentic wizard beard, worthy of the name Sigurd the Wizard.
Excerpts from A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families , various posts at Equipping Catholic Families and our Saint Scripts Craft Kits (Series ONE and TWO). Although we enjoyed the Feast of St. Joseph on March 19, May 1st is the Feast of the SAME St. Joseph, this time focusing on the Worker. St Joseph was humble, pure, gentle and wise, protecting the Holy Family. He walked by Faith, taking Mary as his wife and guiding and protecting the Baby Jesus, heeding the instructions from the Angel of the Lord. He worked humbly and diligently as a carpenter, to provide for his family. It is believed that Joseph died peacefully in the Arms of Jesus and Mary. One of the symbols of Saint Joseph is the lily in honor of his purity, so we present the Handprint Lilies craft! A couple years ago, we turned a couple of on-clearance TY dolls into Saints…like St. Patrick, Mother Mary, Jesus, St John Paul II. Here is my St. Joseph…and the St Joseph made by friend Lucia who inspired me with her idea and even sent me a doll (St John Paul II) along with these cute little tools she found!

We just returned from the New Evangelization Summit in Ottawa with Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. Michael Gaitley, Dr. Ralph Martin, Fr. James Mallon, Patrick Coffin and many others. This wonderful event was organized by the Mission of the Redeemer, founded by Michael Dopp. While the event took place in Ottawa, Ontario, the talks were broadcasted to 20 Satellite sites across North America!
Last year, I made this special PrayerLoom Prayer Book for Bridget as she celebrated her First Holy Communion.
I took the finished scrapbook to our Parish Women’s Group, showing them the Catholic Craft Kits, Books and Cards I create
This Easter season of the Liturgical Calendar, every First Reading of Daily Mass comes from the Acts of the Apostles. Aren’t these readings awesome and inspiring?
The Acts …show us how empowered the early Church Christians were…filled with the Holy Spirit and convicted to speak and convert thousands at a time! Don’t you love how the Apostles are repeatedly thrown into prison, but they don’t let their surroundings dampen their enthusiasm! In fact…they just seem to use the opportunity to host a prayer meeting…singing, praying and praising until angels come and let them out through the locked doors to the dismay of the guards!
We’ve been building our collection of little Wooden Painted Saints…and we decided to make a Gallery of all the posts we’ve written about them…including a Tutorial with hints and tips to make them and ways to use them, play with them and stage and store them!
…another venue for the little Wooden Painted Saints: my old Architecture School models that have been kicking around from one basement to the next …for 20 years!
We’re in the midst of a couple family projects and I came across my Architecture School models from my thesis project completed this week in 1995!
