What is a Faith Folder?A Faith Folder is our version of a LapbookTM. Our Faith Folders are Catholic based and are used to teach and spread the Catholic Faith. They are sold as a digital product to be downloaded as a pdf file by the customer. What is a Lapbook?TMA lapbookTM is a tool used to showcase and consolidate material studied and learned on a given topic. A lapbookTM is created from a file folder, refolded to create a book which can be held in the lap. Many different mini-books and other special projects are then stored and displayed in the lapbookTM. LapbooksTM can be used for science, social studies, phonics, religion and so much more. The possibilities are endless!

Happy Shopping!Mass Faith FolderI know many of you have been patiently waiting the Mass Faith Folder, and I know I promised it would be ready this fall. I am so sorry. Family life has just thrown us lots of curves over the last several months and I haven't been able to get it finished. It is a work-in-progess though, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. If I don't have it done by Christmas, I really do promise to have it done just after the first of the year. Thank you so much for your patience!2009 Advent Faith Folder SupplementThe Advent Faith Folder was originally created for Advent 2008. One of the mini-books includes the Gospel Readings for the Sundays of Advent. I have created a supplement to the Advent Faith Folder that has the 2009 Readings.

Come take a peak!Special Dedication of the Year for Priests Faith Folder in Memory of Ryan BarrettOctober Donations Totaled $40.00 Each to Friar Suppliers and Austism Speaks. Thank you so much! Please continue to pray for the Barrett Family.September Donations Totaled $75.00 Each to Friar Suppliers and Autism Speaks. Thank you for your generosity!Many of you may already know the touching story of the Barrett Family. Their son, Ryan, suffered a grand mal seizure while on a father-son camping trip and passed away on August 13, 2009. If you haven't heard their story, please view the links below. Mary Ellen Barrett is a Catholic mom, wife, homeschooler, writer, blogger and has helped many through her writing. Ryan had a beautiful faith and was drawn to religious life. Despite his autism, many in his life wondered if he might have a priestly vocation. His death and the stories that have been shared since then are so touching and, to me, seem to reveal that this young man did indeed have a religious calling. I have been so touched by this family and their story that I am dedicating the Year for Priests Faith Folder in memory of Ryan Barrett and am donating 50% of all proceeds from its sale to the charities chosen by his family. Please visit the Year for Priests Faith Folder page for more information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Please pray for the Barrett family as they grieve the loss of their son, celebrate his life and discover God's plan for their family.
Just for Fun!I thought I'd share a couple of fun pictures of our 2 year-old, Clare, with you. One picture is what happens when I am distracted as I create a new Faith Folder and the other is of the wonderful help I sometimes get putting together the sample of a new Faith Folder. Can you guess which one is which?!
