Scenes from our Guadalupe Tea

We invited Heather and the beautiful gang from Doodle Acres to join us for our Tea in Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. If you have a moment, please take a look at our Photo Album of the afternoon. You will find notes explaining each of the dishes and pictures by clicking on the thumbnails.
The children enjoyed everything, including the St. Lucy's craft Heather generously provided using one of Dawn's ideas from O Night Divine. (If you want to warm my heart and put a smile on the faces of my children, please be sure to bring one of Dawn's crafts when you come to visit. Thank you dearest Heather!)

[Marie's St. Lucy Ornament. I cannot stress enough how pretty these ornaments are in person. We may be making these all year! This is such an attractive and meaningful use for our extra holy cards and Christmas card images. Can you imagine making these to decorate gifts for friends and family?]

[Praying Hands sandwiches, symbolizing that Our Lady always points us to her Son.]

Oh, Alice, you cannot imagine how this post warms my heart!! I could spend the whole day looking at that photo album and reading all your lovely notes. What a beautiful, absolutely beautiful, day you created for your friends and children. And to have my name mentioned here is the greatest honor and joy. Thank *you* my dear friend for always showing *me* the way with your grace and beauty. :)

Love,
