Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
The Crown of Thorns dough wreath with toothpicks is a countdown craft for Lent. It’s also a Lenten activity in my book A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families.

As recently as yesterday, I was considering replacing my blog with scrolls sent out by couriers on horseback: a little more expensive, but hardly any plugin or hosting problems.

Recently, I painted our family members using the same little wooden dolls I paint for the Wooden Painted Saints. The kids have been enjoying playing with the whole collection of saints and family members and we have found them in various predicaments…in every corner of the house.
We’re about HALF WAY through LENT! How are your Lenten resolutions and programs going? Are you doing any of the 40 Ways for 40 Days?
Some of our resolutions and Lenten practices have been difficult to sustain and I am reminded once again for the need to recommit and refocus…each of these 40 days of Lent! Looking ahead to Easter…I remember that
