St. Patrick’s Day is only a week away!! This feast day is often filled with non-Catholic images like leprechauns and pots of gold. I wanted to create a few cards that could help share the TRUE meaning of this special day – SAINT PATRICK’S feast day! These cards would be perfect to send to friends, classmates, relatives, and grandparents! You may like to send them anonymously to the elderly, shut-ins, or your secret prayer partner, too! I’m offering two different PDF files: One has 6 different pre-colored cards The other has two black and white cards, which can be colored. Download These St. Patrick Cards Here: These cards can be used as flat mini cards or larger folded cards. Just download the files and print out the pages of your choice – as many as you need. It’s best to print them on photo paper or stock paper. (If you are printing the black and white cards to color be sure to use non-shiny paper.) Then cut out the cards. There are 6 mini cards on a page or two folded cards on a page. Write your special message on the back of the mini cards or on the inside of the folded cards .You could also use these as decorations in your home or classroom. Glue them on green paper, shamrock cutouts, and more! They could also be handed out and used as bookmarks. Have a blessed day! ~JenMarie

I’m now offering a pack of 8 reproducible pages for you to use when you teach about the 50 States. If you use these for teaching about all of the 50 states you should end-up with a whole binder full of information!  Each set of pages can be printed off 50 or more times so you have one set for each state. (Print out as many as you need for one class or family.)  The cool and unusual part about these pages is that they are done with a Catholic twist. Download Below: Download these USA Notebooking Pages Here: Here is a page-by-page description of the set, so you can better understand what these pages are about: The Cover The cover page includes a map of the United States and each state’s name is written on the map. This can be used as a reference page while the kids learn the location and spelling of the states. General Information About the State – Page 1 The first page of this set is meant to be used for each and every state. You will need to print a new page for each state you learn. The page asks for general information about the state: The capital, the population, the crops grown in the state, the state bird and tree, etc. This information is common information which can be found in may state books including these: **************** Click on the images to read more about these books. This printable page includes short prayers for the state. It also has Catholic images which accompany the topic of learning. Map It! – Page 2 This next page is also meant to be used for each state. The child should add the abbreviation or name of all the states which they have learned up to that particular school day. They can use the cover page to help them if you like. It also has an empty flag so they can draw or add an image of the state’s flag. The extra area on the bottom of the page is for the child to draw a general outline of the state. Feel free to have them add other geographical information to the image they draw. Famous People and Historical Events – Page 3 The “Famous People and Historical Events” pages are used to help the child remember what people or events are relevant to each state.  These can be filled out throughout the school year or whenever you discover or learn about a famous person who lived in this state, or when you learn about a historical event that occurred in the state. This page may not be large enough for some states because you will find an abundance of information, or it may be barely filled for other states, but feel free to copy as many as you need. Places Made by God – Page 4 This page focuses on the places made by God. These areas would include the Grand Canyon, the Redwood Forest, a desert, a natural bridge, a waterfall, a cave, a lake, a volcano, a mountain peak, or any other natural beauty made by God! The child can draw a picture of the area or find a photo of the area and paste it in the image box on the page. Then they can write a short description of the natural beauty. Famous Catholic Churches and Shrines – Page 5 This page is one for you to fill in as you work through the school year. There are not a lot of famous churches and shrines in the USA, but you might be surprised at how many there are! I went to my Facebook followers for help to find some Catholic shrines and churches and they all gave wonderful suggestions. (Thank you for the help!) Several ladies recommended a great website called “ Catholic Places ” which has at least one famous church or shrine per state! You definitely need to see that website! It’s a goldmine for Catholic tourists or if you want to take a pilgrimage! Famous Places Made by Man – Page 6   Page 6 is just like page 4, except it’s meant to focus on manmade items and areas rather than ones by God. The child can find a manmade sight and draw a picture or find an image to add to the box. Then they can write a short paragraph about it. If I could go anywhere I’d go… – Page 7 This page is the final wrap-up page. This is meant to starch the mind of the child so he/she can dream of where they would love to visit. Then they can write about where they would go and why they would go there. It also has a few other prompts to give them a chance to image! Extra Writing – Page 8  This page is just an extra page to use when your child wants to add extra care and attention to one of the topics you are learning about. For example, if they want to write more about the Grand Canyon then this is an extra page to write more information. They can also draw more pictures or add more photos.  How to use these pages in your school day: Work to your child’s speed and understanding, but I recommend (for an average 4th -6th grade child) that you do one page a day and finish a state a week. For example, you could do page one (general information) on Monday and page two (Map It) on Tuesday. Then fill out some information on page 3 (Famous People and Events) on Wednesday. On Thursday you could work on pages 4 and 5 (God’s Awesome Sights and Famous Shrines and Churches).  On Friday you could complete Page 6 (Man Made Sights). NOTE: If you are looking for something quicker and easier, just do the first two pages for each state. I used this set for my 5th graders, but my 2nd grader only used the first two pages and skipped the other pages. My kids and I completed these pages using these two books HERE and HERE . We did get a little help from the internet on the famous shrines and we needed help discovering some “Sights made by God” or “Sights Made by Man”. If you are interested in using this printable set with your kids, I have it available above! God bless you all and have a joy-fulled day! ~JenMarie

This is a re-post from 2012. We had a few technical problems last year and this coloring page hasn’t been working. Because this beautiful artwork was created by my daughter, Rachel, I asked her to help me fix this so we could re-post it for you all. Download this Divine Mercy Coloring Page Here: Rachel is progressing into a wonderful young artist! But that’s coming from a proud mamma! 😉 Hope you all like it! God Bless. ~JenMarie – AKA: Rachel’s Mom! 😉

Here is a cute, easy craft that my 4-year-old, Caleb, just LOVED!! He has been helping me to create these displays and has been giving me all of his thoughts on what he felt should be improved upon! Now it’s been given his seal of approval and is ready to go! And believe me, Caleb is my worst critic! This file is for purchase in our shop. Click Here to visit our shop and purchase it! Perfect for all ages! Caleb enjoyed coloring these, as well as, cutting them out and creating the displays! The cutting lines are extra wide so little hands can easily cut right into the dark, thick, edges. Little ones may need help folding the tomb display, but it’s easy enough to fold and create for most children, ages 6 and up. How to use these displays: After assembling the displays, place them in a nice spot but hide the 2 Jesus and angel figures. On Good Friday, sometime after 3:00 PM – but before dark, * “roll-away” the stone and place the wrapped “Jesus” into the tomb. The wrapped Jesus will remain in the tomb on Holy Saturday. The night before Easter, Mom or Dad may “roll-away” the stone and take out the wrapped Jesus. Add the Resurrected Jesus and the Angel to the area in front of the tomb. This will be a fun surprise for the kids on Easter Morning! *If it works better for the family, the kids can replace the wrapped Jesus with the Resurrected Jesus Sunday Morning. *Why bury Jesus after 3:00 PM but before dark? The Bible tells us that Jesus died at 3:00 pm and the Jewish Sabbath started at sundown on Friday night. So Jesus’ followers would have buried him after 3:00 but before the Sabbath began since they were not allowed to work on the Sabbath. Jesus was buried in a hurry, that’s why the women came back Sunday morning with spices to anoint Jesus! They were unable to anoint his body Friday night. This file is for purchase in our shop.

Looking for Catholic-themed valentines for St. Valentine’s day? Gotcha covered! I’ve created a cute set of valentines that I think you are going to love! Each of these card designs were lovingly made to honor Our Lord in the Divine Mercy. They are meant to remind the receiver of Jesus’ love and mercy.  Some of them also include a Bible verse to help reinforce Jesus’ love of us or how we should love Him. I had designed these for use on St. Valentine’s day, but I removed the hearts from 5 of the 6 styles so they can also be used at other times of the year, too! Plus, many Catholic boys prefer to use the non-heartsy valentines! 😉 This download has two ways to use these! Print 8 flat cards on one page to give to a large group of receivers! Or print the folded card styles! These are perfect cards for mailing or to give to close friends, family or even your parish priest! These are especially great for this year because this is the Jubilee Year of Mercy! This file is for purchase in our shop. Click  Here to visit our shop and purchase it! Hope you love them! ~JenMarie Parents/Personal Use: Your purchase allows your immediate family to give these cards as loving messages to other family members and friends. The file and printing rights do not extend past your immediate family. Teachers: These can be used to make crafts with a single class. You may also give them as loving messages to students.

I have admired those DIY fill-it-up clear plastic Christmas balls for a few years. But me being me, I like to add a bit of Catholic focus on all our Christmas crafts. So when we made these ball, we added a double sided picture of the Nativity or other religious picture to the inside! Figuring out a way to add the image took a bit of testing and thinking, but I did figure out a way to do it.  We glued two images of the same size onto a popsicle stick. They were glued onto it back-to-back. When the glue is dry, gently fold the image and push it into the ball. After that, we unfolded the picture. Voila! Beautiful Christmas ornament fit for the season! We had a lot of fun filling these balls and adding the religious pictures! The possibilities are endless!! About the plastic balls: For those who don’t know about the clear plastic Christmas ball, they are very simple Christmas balls that are made with clear plastic. The top of the ball comes off and the ball can be filled with anything that your heart desires – well, it does need to fit into the small hole in the top! We bought our ornaments at the Dollar Tree – 2 for a dollar – like those pictured here. Ours are about 2.5 inches wide with a half inch opening at the top.   These ornaments come in many shapes and sizes. I have also seen them at Wal-Mart, AC Moore, and Hobby Lobby. When buying your plastic balls make sure the opening is larger than a popsicle sticks widest side, otherwise the balls are not going to work. About the images we used: Many of the images we used were Nativity stickers. They worked very well. Some of the images were small pictures which we cut from old cards or mission mail. What did we put inside the ornaments? Here is a list of items we added to the inside: raffia (for hay) – cut-up in small 1 inch pieces (or smaller) small sprigs of fake evergreen branches sequins in many shapes:– round– stars– snowflakes-hearts fake snow dust glitter in many colors: gold, silver, blue, red, etc. sand small stones any other small item we found and liked How did we make them? After getting the plastic balls and finding images that fit the size of our balls, we dug through our craft boxes and pulled out anything that we thought might work or fit into the balls. (see list above). Find a cup or lid that will hold your ball in place so it won\’t roll around as you fill it. Now begin to add your hay, snow, greens or any other crafty items you think look nice.  If you are adding tiny items like fake snow or glitter then you may want to use a funnel. If you don’t have a funnel, then roll-up a piece of paper to form a funnel and staple it together. Now add your tiny items. Add only enough snow/hay/greens to cover the area below the picture. Now take a popsicle stick and place it down into the ball – straight up and down – make sure it is touching the bottom of the ball. Make a mark on the stick at the point where the popsicle stick extends out of the ball’s opening. Now remove the stick and cut just below that mark with a knife or cutters. Cut out your images – make sure they are the same size. Cover the back of one image with glue, then place the popsicle stick in the middle of the image. Be sure to leave enough room above the image so the stick can extend into the ball\’s neck. Now add glue to the second image and place it back-to-back on the first image – sandwiching the stick in between the two images.  Many of our images were stickers, which we stuck back-to-back on the popsicle stick. NOTE: We still added glue when using the stickers, because stickers will not stay stuck together if they are stored in a hot or humid area – such as an attic or a basement. Because we store our Christmas decorations in an attic, I wanted to be sure that these stay stuck together, so we could enjoy them for years to come. Your image on the popsicle stick should look similar to the one pictured above. It should have an image on both sides. Now gently and loosely fold the image so it can be slid into the ball. Once you have the image totally in the ball, try to fold the image open by flipping it around and gently pulling it back up the neck of the ball opposite the fold so it will stay open. You can also use another popsicle stick to flatten out the fold. When the image is opened, nestle the bottom end of the stick into your sand, hay, greens, etc. Now, put the top back on the bottle and hang it up! Finished ornaments to inspire! Here are a few of the ornaments which we created. This might help inspire you if you want to create these! The more we created them the more ideas we came up with! So not all our ornaments are pictured here. I\’m sure you can find some adorable items to add in your Christmas balls with Baby Jesus! In the ornament above, the image sits among little fake evergreen clippings, fake snow, tinsel clippings, glitter and a tiny fake candy cane. This sweet ornament is filled with fake snow and loads of multi colored glitter and sequins. This ball was in honor of the F east of the Holy Innocents . The image depicts the Flight into Egypt. The ball holds sand, small stones, a little silver glitter and small silver stars. This ornament is filled with small strips of raffia – hay for the stable. It also has a little bit of silver and blue glitter, as well as, large blue star sequins. The above ornament is simple yet beautiful! It’s filled with fake snow and blue glitter. This ornament was very difficult to get a picture of. It is only filled with fine textured glitter: silver and gold as well as a little bit of blue. It really is very pretty in real life, but the picture does not do it justice! This is another snow filled ball. It does have larger sequins which are not visible in the picture as well as silver glitter. This adorable ball is filled with more fake snow, blue glitter and gold star sequins that are not very visible in the image. What would you add to your Christmas ball ornaments!? If you have another idea, tell me about it in the comments below! I’d love to hear your thoughts! ~JenMarie

Hi, everyone! How is your Advent going? I hope well! Ours is just as busy as always! I had promised to post about our Little Flowers Girl’s Club meetings. We have had three meetings now and I still haven’t posted any of them! Well, I’m going to jump to our third meeting and post about it since it was all centered around Our Lady of Guadalupe. I thought you might be more interested in seeing this now than in a month – just because it’s Our Lady’s Feast day! Our meeting started out with a adorable on-the-spot play of Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe. No prep or planning, just a fun spontaneous acting. The play was acted out by our club’s oldest member who was Our Lady of Guadalupe. The other parts were done by some of the Little Flowers’ older siblings. A simple story was read and the kids just acted out what was being read. They had no practice, nor did they read the story beforehand. It made for a funny and easy activity! The Little Flowers all LOVED it! I prepared the costumes before the meeting. The only fancy costume was Our Lady’s. This is the costume which I created as an All Saint’s Day costume for Rebekah a few years ago. See it HERE . Juan Diego’s Costume was just a sombrero and a raggy piece of material for his tilma. The other costumes were simple robes, and pieces of cloth. It was a very simplistic activity, but boy did they all enjoy it!  I printed out an image of Our Lady to put on the tilma. I stuck velcro on the back of the image so it would cling to the material that we used for the tilma. Then during the play, Our Lady secretly placed it on Juan’s tilma as she “arranged” the roses. Surprise! There it was when Juan showed the roses to the bishop! After the play the girls made the Liturgical Ornament of Our Lady of Guadalupe . This took a little prep-time, but it was well worth it! My mother and Elizabeth helped to cut the pieces out. We laid them out to be sure we had all the pieces for each one and then I bagged them up in little baggies so I could easily pass them out to the girls. Note the coffee cup in the picture!! Totally need that! So don’t forget it! I did decide to add the gold and red glitter fabric paint to Mary’s veil and the sun before the meeting. I thought about having the girls do this themselves but I thought it would be less stressful for the moms if this was done beforehand. All of the Little Flowers’ had a great time making these! They all turned out so beautifully! After that, we all had a snack and had a great time talking and playing together. Perfect party and meeting! Have a blessed Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe!! ~JenMarie

When my oldest two daughters were about 7 years old, my sister, a few other ladies, and I organized a Little Flowers Girls Club at our parish. Oh, we had such fun! But over the course of time the members all fell away for various reasons and the club meetings happened less often. Eventually they stopped all together.  My girls really enjoyed those meeting so as my younger girls grew to the right age I longed to join another Little Flowers Club with them. I had recently discovered two groups within an hour of our home however both had meeting times that just wouldn’t work. I was so upset. While I was still struggling with whether or not I should try to join one of these groups, I was approached by my cousins, who asked if I was interested in helping them organize a new group. (They were having the same problems as me.) I jumped at the chance! 🙂 So that means I’ll be posting about our Little Flowers activities which we will be doing! Yay!! How cool is that! What is a Little Flowers Girls’ Club? Before I continue, I want to give a little background on this wonderful Catholic club! It’s designed for girls ages 5 and up. While it’s similar in design to Girl Scouts, it’s made for Catholic girls. It’s meant to be a mother and daughter club. The girls are able to get together and learn about saints and virtues from the moms! I know some groups have a single leader and don’t include the mothers, and that’s okay, but I love how this program encourages the mother/parent to work with the girls to earn the badge. It’s a wonderful bonding challenge for the mothers and daughters! This is not a religion course, but it teaches girls about the saints and virtues. It reinforces prayer, kind actions, and good manners. When the girls are able to see other girls who are attempting to grow in faith, it encourages them as they travel on their journey of faith! Visit Behold Publications to learn more: HERE So as we begin our new Little Flowers Girls’ Club adventure, I thought I’d take the time to share the items I bought to help us take the first few steps. This is just a little information for anyone who is thinking of buying some of these items or starting a new LF group, too. Vests and Sashes Of course the girls all needed a vest or a sash. I had bought sashes for my older two girls – many years ago at our first LF club. Rachel and Rebekah had often complained that the sashes didn’t stay in place, so I thought I’d go ahead and try the vests this time. The vests seem fine for my smaller girls. perhaps a little bulky, but my younger girls are small in stature.  On the other hand, Elizabeth (11 years old) thought the vest was too tight.  She has a hard time taking it off. I may decide to buy her a large sash to replace the vest. She tried on her older sisters’ sashes (They are the large deluxe) and that fit her well. Since I have 3 (possibly 4) girls with matching vests. I wanted to be able to tell which vest belonged to whom. So I added a decorative button to the inside bottom corner of the vest. My daughters picked out a button they liked from my button jar and I sewed it on.  Now we can easily avoid a mix-up! 🙂 When my older two daughters had matching sashes I ironed their names on the inside of the sash with iron-on letters. That worked well, too! The Books: First, I bought a for each of my girls. This book is the Member’s guide so the girls can follow along and see what saints and virtues they will be learning about. It also gives the list of requirements that the girls can complete to earn the badges. Using a permanent marker, we wrote the name of the owner on the bottom outside cover, so we could easily tell who owns the book. Since my sister already owned the (from our previous LF club), we did not order this book. But I highly recommend that at least one mom-member of the club has the book to help guide the group. My sister already owned the from our previous LF Club, too. While we did use this to help inspire us years ago, we did not use it a lot. This was mainly because we created crafts of our own which were not in this book. If you are not a crafty person and have no idea what to do, then you may want to buy this book for the group to share. I also ordered the book. This seems like a handy book to help us with all sorts of ceremonies – from badge ceremonies to May Crownings! I’m sure I’ll be making use of this! I decided to purchase the book because (as some of my followers may recall) we have a Marian Tea party at our house every May. So I thought our club could join us this coming May! I thought perhaps this book might have some ideas to help us along! I’ll let you know when we start planning for this! The book seems to be a cute book with sweet stories to help the girls understand the virtues. While I’m not sure exactly how we plan to use this book yet, I’m sure it will fit in nicely some how. I’ll let you know how we decide to use it! ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●✿●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Well, this is our start to this new Little Flowers adventure!! I know my girls are looking forward to it! Hope you will enjoy the upcoming Little Flowers Club posts! I hope they will be useful for those who are planning Little Flower meets, as well as, those who are just looking for fun activities to do and/or create! God’s Blessing! ~JenMarie

Several years ago I posted about the Paddle-to-the-Sea Literature Study which I created for my older children. My older kids enjoyed reading  so much that I want to read this book with a few of my younger kids this school year. So I thought it might be a great time to sit down and update the file! Not only did I update the pages with a better map and more detailed information, but I also added an activity page for each chapter which includes questions to answer and activities to do. These pages also have loads of images and ideas that focus on the chapter’s topics! This literature study is a companion to the book:  by Holling Clancy Holling, which is a wonderful book that teaches kids about the Great Lakes area and all the amazing business, cities, and sites that lie around the Great Lakes during the early 1900’s! The journey is seen through the eyes of Paddle, a little hand-carved wooden Indian in a canoe. As you journey with Paddle you will fall in love with this story and cheer him on as he travels to the ocean! The literature study  is a 35-page ebook for children – grade levels 4 to 6. This study is meant to help children follow what happens to Paddle and record what Paddle passes while he takes his long journey. As you read the book, you will discuss the areas he is in, how long it took him to get there, and what season it is. Then glue the images to the appropriate spot on the map. The children will also create a map key that tells what each image symbolizes. They will create a story timeline to show the season and year in which the events happened. This file is for purchase in our shop. Click  Here to visit our shop and purchase it! (Example of a finished map) Teachers, use the teacher-examples to help you teach the student(s) how to complete the map and key-timeline.  Both examples are provided in a separate teacher’s PDF. The map on the inside cover of your  book as well as an atlas is also a wonderful help when completing this study. Note: The Paddle-to-the-Sea book is not included in this study. This 35-page literature study includes: • A Blank Map of the Great Lakes area • Blank Map Key and Timeline for the children to fill-out • Images to Add to the Map • Examples for Teachers • A Question and Activity Page for Each Chapter • Maps of the Gulf Stream and Europe Note: The Paddle-to-the-Sea book is not included in this study. The pages will help you focus on different topics of each chapter.  These will include geography, writing props, thinking questions, art activities, and science and history topics.  Some pages require research; others are creative activities. It’s a variety of ways to learn! Is this a Catholic literature study? Two of the lessons in the study do have Christian topics. So while the study doesn’t focus on the Catholic faith it does have some Christian content. (Discusses the 4th Commandment and the Apostles) Happy Reading!! ~JenMarie This file is for purchase in our shop. Click  Here to visit our shop and purchase it!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all having a great summer! I’ve been keeping very busy painting, cleaning, and reorganizing the house. My goal this summer is to clean up and clear out! My summer motto has been: “Use it or trash it!” So far my house is a lot more organized and I’ve trashed a mountain of stuff from our shed! As I was cleaning out some of my craft supplies I found a bag of large wooden beads. I discovered I had enough to make a large Rosary. So after finding a large wooden cross I thought I’d go ahead and use these beads instead of trashing them. I’m so glad I did… My 6 year old daughter, Naomi, helped me to make one!  She counted out all the beads and then we strung them on the ribbon one at a time. These are the beads that where in my bead bag. You can buy beads similar to these at your local craft store.  I bought the cross in the wooden cut-out section of a craft store a few years ago. They do still have similar crosses today. We strung the beads on thin satin ribbon. First add your ten “Hail Mary” beads. Then add the “Our Father” beads. We used long thin beads and small round beads to separate the “Hail Mary” and “Our Father” beads. This is what the “Our Father” bead set looks like on our Rosary. If you have trouble with your ribbon or string fraying use a match to melt the end together. Note: This only works if the material of the string/ribbon is a synthetic material. After you have the 5 Hail Mary decades and the 4 Our Father beads on the ribbon you can begin the next step! Be sure you leave each of the ribbon ends very long. You will use both to create the end of the Rosary. We used the long beads and a small round beads for the center. Push both ends of the ribbon through the round bead and the long beads. Use both ends of the ribbon to string on the rest of your beads. This will allow you to tie on a cross. Using this method creates only one knot on the rosary, so it will be much stronger.  After knotting the ribbon around the top of the cross, I hot glued the knot so it would hold-up better to the abuse of children. I\’m sure you will need to adapt your rosary to fit the beads you have. So feel free to create your rosary a little different than ours. Our large Rosary has been well loved. The kids have been taking turns using it while we pray our daily Rosary. They even gave Dad a turn! I think our kitten, Milkshake, wanted a turn with the Rosary, too! She kept hopping in while I took these pictures – I had to share! 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your summer! May God bless you with joy and peace! ~Jen-Marie
