Blessed Kateri: July 14, St James: July 25, St. Anne: July 26  

A few years ago, dollar stores were selling off
TY Teenie Beanie Bopper dolls.
My friend Lucia began collecting these dolls and turning them into her family’s favorite saints!
She told me how she found the little accessories at dollar stores and craft shops. Her 7 kids love playing with the dolls and learning about the saints.  Lucia sent me pictures of the TY Saint dolls that she has made.

Saving frozen juice lids, but don’t know WHY? I have saved them off and on over the years, expecting that someday I would do something great with them. Here is my big chance…to remind my family of our DREAM TEAM of SAINTS. I created 3 templates of 12 Saint pictures, each image sized to fit within a 2.5″ diameter circle. I hope to post the templates shortly!  Please subscribe or comment below if you are interested in these templates… so that I’ll remember to upload them! I used a roll of clear adhesive from the dollar store to laminate the sheets on the image side, for durability and a more finished look…and after that, I cut out the circles and glued them in place on the outside surface of the lid, just inside the lipped edge. I think the kids will really like these.  They look great with the round metal frame, they make a great sound when they clang into each other, they stack well, the pictures are pretty and I made sure that I chose our favorite (and cool!) family saints.

A little glue and some string…and these little round pictures can be hung on the wall or as a Saint Mobile (mine are hanging from our dining room light fixture).

A little glue and a magnet…and we have Saint Fridge Magnets.
