Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I will be hosting the Loveliness of Advent Fair. I'm moving the date to Wednesday, November 29, instead of Monday the 27th. The theme is Advent -- all things related, crafts, prayers, traditions, meditations, saints, past Advents, etc. I'd love submissions, even if you don't have a blog, I'll post them on mine.

And there are some current posts that would fit quite nicely into this theme...I'm thinking of certain wooden cube crafts done by Alice and Katherine....hint, hint.

I'd like submissions by Monday night, 27th, so email your entries to jennifergmiller at gmail dot com. But I'll take early entries, too, as my blog gives me fit sometimes!

Jenn, I meant to ask you your thoughts on this book Christ in the Old Testament: Prophecy Illustrated when you were here the other day. My brother sent it, and we're going to read it this advent.

I have some ideas for this. I sent them to you by e-mail. I hope you enjoy reading them. I'll be posting the rest on my blog next week. Thanks for doing this.

God bless. Ruth

Jenn, I'll be putting something together on Friday and will send it your way. And go ahead and include the O Antiphon Houses since you already have that link.
Thanks for hosting.

Here's a post on a variation on Alice's blocks if you'd like to use that....

Thanks for running this "fair" -- I can't wait to see the final result!

Submissions by end of day, nighttime, tomorrow (Monday) or wee hours of Tuesday morning is fine. I plan on putting it together on Tuesday. I haven't responded to the emails for submissions, as I've been out of town and catching up...but thanks for the ones so far, and looking forward to any more. Send to jennifergmiller at gmail dot com.

Thanks!

Jenn,
I sent mine to you last night but I had 3 different addresses for you and might have sent it to the wrong one.

Here's mine:

Hi! The Loveliness of Advent Fair is up. I just added Helen's and Jennifer's entries, although the post has been up a few hours. I haven't been up that long, so that's why I'm late.

Marvellous job, ladies. All the posts were so incredible. I had so much fun putting this together.

I couldn't squeeze out any pictures...sorry it's so much text.

I had to add one more...I didn't have Cheryl's original post!

If there are any late entries, go ahead and send them to me.

Serial posting...that address was incorrect above. I have fixed it. Loveliness of Advent Fair.

I'm particularly excited about a submission from a new blog...newbie to the blogging world, but a familiar face on the Forums. Don't miss it!

Cay -

Guess what? You're not the only one who has ever gotten the colors/numbers reversed!

Just think, you'll only need to get the violet candles for the next three years!

Peace,
Nancy

Who? Was it you?
I haven't had time to look at and read all the posts. There's so many...which is great! Wonderful! The children's computer is at the doctor's so they are all using mine.

I have to learn how to share. Wah!

What relief though. I thought I was the only one losing my mind.

Mary M., if you see this, who is the artist behind your banner and what is it called? I desperately want a copy of that picture.
