A ministry of The Crawford Family

The Crawford family has graciously donated one of their beautiful Scriptures CD's...

Passages of Scripture put to beautiful music to help families memorize God's Word together!

Karen over at "Story Time Felts" has donated a felt package of "The Christmas Story"

Bring the Bible to life with Scripture Stories! Hearing the stories of the Bible is one thing, but seeing the story as it is told helps children visualize how it actually happened. Now you can have the Bible Stories in your home or Sunday School classroom or Vacation Bible School (VBS), allowing the children to retell these stories over and over so they become their own. Set comes with figures to tell the story listed and the scriptural reference to use in accordance with the King James Version.

The Family Planner was developed and created by a busy mom with today's busy family in mind. Its original design makes it the must have calendar for all moms. The Family Planner is not your typical wall calendar. Instead, it is a full-size planner with spacious daily columns providing ample space for even the most overwhelming schedules. Its user-friendly format creates the perfect organizational tool for the entire family.

Do you desire to have fun making memories with your children this holiday season? Do you wish you had a fun and easy way to document all those special memories? I don't know about you, but this is my desire as we head into the holiday season. While I still want learning to be taking place, I don't want to be so caught up in "doing school" that we miss out on LIFE --- on all the opportunities we have over Christmas to build relationships and make memories with our children.

I wanted something that we could use to incorporate some language arts into our December, as well as provide a way to document our memories. I also wanted to keep Jesus at the very center of all we did over the holidays.  Our Christmas Journal was my answer to my own need.  This 110 page ebook contains decorated pages you can print and fill in with pictures, captions, stories, recipes...memories of the Christmas season.

I pray it will bless you and your family as well!

It’s here! It’s here! The Winter 2007 issue of Seasonal Delights is here and one of you blessed Ladies will be recieveing one  paper copy!!!

The Winter 2007 issue is 46 pages and contains more that 275 full-color photos — and still no advertisements! There are also four pages of templates for four separate projects in the magazine, bringing the total page count to 50!

We’ve tried to give you more of everything you’ve told us you love about Seasonal Delights. We’ve tried to create the magazine we would love even if we weren’t responsible for it. We’ve tried to capture a love for winter in 50 pages, and we hope you like it!
