Merry Christmas 🎄 to All Our Loyal Customers!
We here at www.SaintsforSinners.com have been hard at work, like little elves you might say, to make sure we get all of your orders out on time. We think we got everything out right, and into your hands to gift to your loved ones by Christmas Day. If not, we tried!
A Reminder and Update!
It’s December 3rd and we are still completely up-to-date with year 2019 orders and we have even been able to say “Yes!” to Special Requests too ... so far! I say this every year: “Maybe this will be the Christmas Holiday where we do everything right!”
It’s Thanksgiving week...
It’s Thanksgiving week - the time to appreciate the bounties of our harvests, our loved ones, our families, our friendships, and our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to all, even those of you in Canada and the other continents where my e-mails arrive.
A Quick Note from SaintsforSinners That’s Only Five Paragraphs Long!
We have been enjoying making the new crosses with the medals we dug up after the flood and also using the medals that just did not quite make it through the creation phase for one reason or another. “THE MISFIT MEDALS” were in a big bin with nowhere to go because they are blemished in some way but we could not ever throw them away….
We are very surprised by the interest in sales of the flood medal crosses!
We have recently seen an increase in interest at SaintsforSinners for our Flood Medal Crosses (pictured above). These crosses have medals that were either recovered from after Hurricane Katrina, or medals that didn't quite make it through final inspection to sell. We are so excited that you like them!
Hi, this is Emily. Just writing a few lines
because Rob is away and I’ve got to share this with everyone!
We received the sweetest SaintsforSinners testimonial from Shirley Lewis today:
"Today I was at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. and saw your SaintsforSinners medals in the gift shop! It makes me proud and happy! Well done!!"
Thank you, Shirley. You made my day. You made Rob's week, I'm sure. Thanks so much! I can't wait until he sees this.
Saint Gabriel Has Brought Us Some Very Happy News From Baton Rouge
Here’s just a short note and update with some very exciting news, along with some very cool photographs! Yesterday, I spoke with the folks at Paperwhite Stationery Boutique in Baton Rouge. Kathryn and Alisa ordered more medals, after their store was only open for two weeks!
Short Answers Quickly to the 4 Questions You Asked Since Yesterday’s Note-
Answers About the Synod and the “Controversy.” There are some Catholics who think Pope Francis went too far scheduling a Synod, or big meeting about the Climate Change Crisis. I think he was just trying to raise awareness about the deforestation and problems with the indigenous people who are threatened by development on their land. I guess it is similar to what the Indians encountered by the development of their land back-in-the day.
OK, here is the Final, Final Two Paragraph Note, I simply had to….
I Simply HAD to send out this letter I received. It came yesterday - the day before the trip. It sort of astounded me - it is so nice and such a perfect “send off” for the trip. I cannot wait to send this “rainbow” kid, Henry, some items.
We all make Mistakes! Some Big, Some Small; Remember that None of Us are Defined by our Worst Mistakes
We are finally figuring out how to present our flooded saint medals and the hand-painted saint medals that were not quite nicely finished.
Recent Startling Events and A Prayer Call to Saint Adrian of Nicomedia, Patron of Soldiers and Arms Dealers
This is a short post to address the issue of gun safety. It looks like we need to send a hand-painted Saint Adrian of Nicomedia saint medal to Texas. Last night, former El Paso, Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who is a candidate running for president, said he would work to outlaw semi-automatic weapons and artillery.
I'm in Love with Love
Today’s post is one where I am basically, tiptoeing into the wet and somewhat scary “Blog Pool.” It’s exciting to be able to be able to share thoughts, musings, ideas, and tales about the saints and how they always fit into our lives. It’s scary too, because I intend to be as honest as I can be. “RUT ROH!”
