Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
I know, it’s crazy to think that Lent begins in just over TWO WEEKS! Some of us just took down our Nativity last weekend on the Feast of the Presentation!
Do you ever get a little overwhelmed when you consider what you’re going to do for Lent at your house? I’ve got some good news for you.
Magnify 90 is a program that taps into this awesome book of daily devotions while challenging women to give up various attachments for a period of 90 days. The idea is that by living a simpler life with fewer distractions, we may delve deeper into our spiritual life with Scripture and Catholic Spiritual Reading, practicing the virtues we’re learning about and pursuing deeper prayer in our personal relationship with Jesus.
Sometimes as we reach the Home Stretch of Lent: Holy Week!, we realize that we need to renew our focus of our Lenten Resolutions and reflect more intently on the Passion of Christ. These Passion Play and Stations of the Cross crafts can help to express and reflect on the events of this very important week, beginning with the Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the triumphant Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
A few years ago I was making these Egg Carton characters, inspired by Michele Made Me.
These are SO CUTE and fun to make!!
I decided to start my Egg Carton Communion of Saints with Mother Mary. Michele has an Egg Carton Nativity set that is awesome and I only strayed a little to make my Mother Mary. I needed to add her signature blue veil and a shiny halo.

Need a JUMP START for Lenten Prayer this year?
I have been prayer journaling again and I think some of our new tools in the Arma Dei Shoppe have been helping!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve added a significant number of Prayer Journal Stamps…so many that we now have 79 Journal, Saint, Rosary, Consecration, Signature and Accountability stamps in our Prayer Impressions Journal Stamp Shoppe!
With our own custom Super Saints artwork for over 60 Saints, I’m pleased to be able to add new Saints Stamps to the shop as they are requested by customers. I was happy to include the St Benedict medal graphic behind St Benedict’s head. It almost looks like a very specialized halo.

Super Saints on a Ring are awesome Catholic gifts for your Easter Basket!
Can you believe that Ash Wednesday is just next week? Every year I start off in pursuit of the best Lent evaa (queue any one of my kids quoting Matt Kelly) and I start out with resolutions for giving up things, taking on things and elaborate programs for my kids. This year will be no different, although I feel a little better prepared!
So, even though I have 50 Cathletics Craft Kits in my Arma Dei Shoppe, it’s hard to believe that I don’t actually have one craft kit dedicated to LENT! Well, that is, until NOW!
This craft kit focuses mainly on the Stations of the Cross, the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet and offers more inventive ways to get kids hands-on praying! Prayers are counted as beads are colored or laced up with a shoelace! Our Super Saints illustrations are kid-friendly and enticing and help to focus our prayers just a little bit more! Plus, they’re just fun to look at!
