This is My Prayer for America

I came across this and loved it.  Pope Francis says to pray to the Holy Spirit every day.  Pray every day and thank God for all things!

Happy Birthday Month - May!

I am really loving the Claire papers and can't seem to move to another packet. Also, because this is the month that has the most birthdays (in our family anyway), I'm always in need of many birthday cards. So, below is the birthday card that I gave to my son for his birthday! This is a 4.5 x 4.5 size card.  I wish I took a picture of the inside before I gave it away....
