This morning, four year old fish-lover Patrick came over to me reporting, "Mommy, I gave my fish to the Star of the Sea."
"What?" I asked, glancing toward the table with the sample project still displayed, "Did you draw a fish on the project?" [Patrick draws fish on anything and everything.]
"No, Mommy," he replied, with emphasis, "I gave the Blessed Mother my fish."
Here is the project, new and improved, with one of Patrick's favorite fish toys:
I think Our Lady likes it even better now, don't you?
So cute! Reminds me a little of Jonah and the whale now. :)

Now that was truly a sacrifice -- you must be so proud of Patrick!
And I love the Star of the Sea craft idea -- you really do need to write a book, Alice!

Thanks very much everyone.

That is just so sweet and funny. Definitely Our Lady will enjoy it even more with his gift of a precious object. How precious!!
