My mother is an exceptional great seamstress, and I have set up a website (blog, really) for her to advertise her services. She has made everything you can imagine, including wedding gowns, First Holy Communion dresses, and fantastic Saint costumes. I have had her make me table linens, clothes for my children, maternity clothes for me, books bags for gifts, a vestment and Corpus Christi canopy for my parish, and beautiful quilts. Please consider her the next time you need a costume for All Saints Day, want a personalized gift for someone, or are in need of a fancy little girl's dress!

This is pretty neat! I have a Creative Memories business that I run right now as a hobby, but make a few sales to friends and family occasionally. My website is www.MomsAreCreative.com. I do a lot of digital scrap booking myself. I have also learned of a neat new venture called Faithbooking. It was developed by our co-founder Rhonda Anderson as a way to document our faith journeys. It's pretty cool!

Thanks for sharing all these businesses guys! I will be checking everyone out for sure!!

Hello, I have an online business that I began just over a year ago. I create Catholic lapbooks and sell them as pdf files through my website. When I first discovered lapbooks I thought they were a wonderful tool and immediately began looking for Catholic lapbooks. I couldn't find any! One day I just jumped in a made one on Respect Life to do with a group of families in our area. I discovered it wasn't so hard and kept creating. I have been so honored by the response and interest I have received. I've even done a workshop at a homeschooling conference, "Lapbooking with a Catholic Twist." Visit my website www.lapbooksforcatholics.com for more information. I've included a couple of pictures of sample Faith Folders - my title for the Catholic lapbooks.

Thank you to Faith & Family Live for this chace to share our endeavors. I will always check in here when I am looking for products.

I highly recommend these lap books. I have done 3 of them and have purchased 4 more to do this school year. I even took one and did it with all of my kids together on a large cardboard display board (like a science fair board). Even my older boys love doing these.

Thank you Lindy for putting out such a great product.

God Bless-

Hi, my name is Suzanne Hamling. I am the Owner and Designer of Garland-of-Roses. At www.garland-of-roses.com, we offer beautiful rosary bracelets with Swarovski crystals at very competitive prices - a wonderful gift idea for all occasions and holidays.

Looking for a special gift? A rosary bracelet from Garland-of-Roses is a perfect gift. These bracelets are made using Swarovski crystals, which are known for being the world’s finest crystals. These bracelets not only make wonderful gifts but will be cherished keepsakes in years to come: a keepsake of First Holy Communion or Confirmation. Give a bracelet to that special teacher to say “Thank you,” to a bride-to-be or create a Mother’s Bracelet using her children’s birthstones. The wrap style bracelet is the perfect gift for anyone especially since one size fits all and there are no clasps to struggle with.

I came up with the idea of Garland-of-Roses four years ago. My inspiration came from a rosary bracelet that I received as a gift. This gift, along with my own love for Our Lord and the Blessed Mother and my devotion to the Rosary, inspired me to share them with others. I hope that these beautiful bracelets, inspired by images of Our Lady and the beauty all around us, will bring others’ closer to their faith through prayer. The rosary bracelet is a wonderful way to share and witness to the faith. There is much power in prayer.

My work has been in Faith and Family Magazine, FaithandFamilylive and CatholicMom.
