Would YOU like to receive a FREE Holy Card, blessed by Pope Francis?
This fall, I’m going on a Pilgrimage to ROME with these lovely people at St Gemma’s Catholic Pilgrimages.

Most of the time, I spend my words in the blogging world on Catholic crafts, activities celebrating the Liturgical Calendar, family traditions…and sometimes family birthday parties and other curious adventures. Here are 7 posts where I have strayed a little out of my comfort zone…and published them as a guest blogger somewhere else!

If you’ve seen our Catholic Dreamcatcher, you’ll know that we are busy with crafts for the Feast Day of St Kateri on July 14.
Inspired by the St Kateri paper bag vests at Catholic Inspired and the crumpled version at Catholic Icing, I thought I’d try my own version for Bridget’s American Doll.
