Bring a Jar: Make an All Saints Votive Candle!

Is your neighborhood filled with spooky witches and ghosts and CANDLES?

Quiet Craft for All Saints Party…or Month of November!

We’ve just released Series THREE of our Saint Scripts Craft Kits! Each kit includes a master set of Saint postcards or recipe cards with the Kelly Saints image, quick facts and short bio.

Saints Craft Kits for All Saints Parties

Ever since Kelly started drawing the Saints for us, we’ve been collecting Saint-themed Cathletics Craft Kits…and we’re still making MORE!

The great thing about Cathletics Craft Kit Printables is that the kits include permission to make copies for class sets! We’ve discovered that laminating the templates, quizzing cards and Kelly Saints Stamps allows us to use them year after year…displaying them at conferences and enjoying them on various Saints Days…and especially All Saints Day!

Cross Stitch Saints: St Therese!

My friend Nancy at Do Small Things with Love has created 36 Catholic Saint Cross Stitch patterns and has invited a troop of crafty kids to make them…including my 9 year old Bridget!

In advance of our road trip to #worldmeetingoffamilies, I printed off  the St Thérèse Cross Stitch pattern from Nancy’s site and made my own travel kit for Bridget to get started on, in the van.
