The Trading Cards Are Here, Part I

Originally posted to Chez VH, December 2, 2010 -

As I mentioned in this post, all of the kids participated in the beautiful All Saints Day Artist Trading Card Swap (click through to get their story on the whole project) sponsored by the good folks from Pondered in My Heart. Our cards arrived today and boy were the kids ever excited! They were checking the mail every few minutes and I got a lovely glimpse out of an upstairs window of the three youngest kids each skipping down the driveway waving an envelope (we sent our cards in batches of two in business-sized envelopes).

Here are both sets of cards for each of the kiddos.

Ria (homeschool graduate and college applicant, age 17):

Here are the cards she drew: St. Edmund Campion, St. Anne Line, St. Adelaide, G.K. Chesterton and Venerable Pope John Paul the Great





She received the following cards: St. Padre Pio, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Monica, St. Elizabeth of Hungary and St. Josemarie Escriva



Gus (age 15) drew the following: St. Gregory the Great, St. John Bosco, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Pius X, St. Genesius



He received: St. Michael the Archangel, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St. Martin de Porres, St. Agatha, St. Thomas More
