Visit here (this one has lots of St. Nicholas ideas before his feast on December 6th)and here (fun with Gingerbread) for ideas on using Jan Brett books this month. Visit Jan for all kinds of creative fun! Don't miss the Gingerbread House Decorating and the interactive Christmas tree (worth several hours of entertainment while you write Christmas cards). And here's a new video of how to draw a polar bear.God bless Jan Brett on her birthday and always! She has so enriched the lives of children and their parents and brought much beauty and joy to reading together.

Lenten Prayer
- O LORD, Master of my life, grant that I may not be infected with the spirit of slothfulness and inquisitiveness, with the spirit of ambition and vain talking. Grant instead to me, your servant, the spirit of purity and of humility, the spirit of patience and neighborly love. O Lord and King, grant me the grace of being aware of my sins and of not thinking evil of those of my brethren. For you are blessed, now and ever, and forever.
Why?
- ...that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in love, to have all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures or wisdom and knowledge. ~Col 2:2
