Sadly, I haven't been keeping up with this blog as I had hoped. But today, I was inspired by this blog post, to create our own version of a Lent calendar!

I'm out of printer ink, so I had to get crafty. A crafty person, I am not! I'm pretty pleased with the results though. I used this image and sketched it out on heavy card stock, in pencil.

Next, I used this image, to give it the elements to make it look more like the traditional Agnus Dei symbol.

When I was satisfied, I went over it in a large black sharpie. It came out like this:



This was to be the template. Because I have 3 kids that have "me too!" syndrome. They all want a piece of the action. I used regular printer paper, and traced the template, put their names on it, and "Lent 2009" because I know I'll want to save these in their memory box.



There was no room for me to put the Lent calendar directly on the lamb. I decided to make a basic calendar and post it underneath. My 5yo will enjoy coloring each day purple. I marked his favorite devotion on there as well. Divine Mercy! The 5yo is really into reading calendars these days. By the end of Lent, I believe he'll be a pro.



The children will glue one cotton ball each day, on their lambs.

Thank you, to Karen Edmisten for this inspiration!
