Mrs. Jennie Chancey of
Ladies Against Feminism has just re-launched her website! Now set up as a blog with a new brand new design, LAF has a host of new writers who will bring you a steady flow of excellent articles on Biblical womanhood in the culture.

In honor of the re-launching of LAF, we are having a Spring Sale on our paper dolls.

hat a thrill to see this fantastic collection of historical paper dolls from the talented Brookshires! The careful research that went into each character and her costumes is obvious, page after beautiful page. You hold in your hands what I consider the finest historical paper dolls available today. The beauty of the artwork was an immediate draw for me, but the biographical sketches and meticulous attention to detail in the costumes are what held me enthralled. It is a delight to have accurate, lovely representations of our godly foremothers, and my daughters are going to thoroughly enjoy reenacting their stories through these sets. I look forward to seeing more from the Brookshires!”

Playing with the Paper Dolls

November 30, 2009

Our little cousins Kelly and Kaylynn enjoyed playing with our Daughters of His Story Collection Three paper dolls on Thanksgiving Day.

The dolls and dresses were laminated and then magnets were added to the backs so that they could play with them on the fridge.

Included in Collection Three is Pocahontas and Priscilla Mullins.

Both ladies were from the 1600’s. Pocahontas was the peacemaking ally of Jamestown who married John Rolfe and Priscilla Mullins was a faithful pilgrim who came to America on the Mayflower and married John Alden.

Even though Kaylynn is only two, she enjoyed playing with the dolls and listening to stories about the ladies.

Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the company of the upright and in the assembly.

Great are the works of the Lord;
They are studied by all who delight in them.

Splendid and majestic is His work,
And His righteousness endures forever.

He has made His wonders to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and compassionate.

He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will remember His covenant forever.

He has made known to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.

Psalm 111:1-6

Have a lovely and joyous Thanksgiving praising our God for His wondrous works!
May God bless you all!

The Creating of the Logo

For the Noble Rose Press logo, Breezy painted several different versions of a rose.

By the sixth rose, she had it down pat. The one Breezy is working on in the picture is the rose we use for our logo.

On this day, 492-years ago, Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses onto the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany. His 95 theses showed where the Roman Catholic Church had deceived the people into buying God’s Salvation rather than trusting Christ alone for redemption.

As Martin Luther’s 95 theses quickly circulated Europe, people became aware of the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church and were curious to discover what the Bible really said about Salvation, righteousness and true worship from the heart.

October 31st, 1517, is viewed to be the beginning of the Reformation, a time God used to revive the hearts of His people and bring the truth of His Word forward.

Younger girls (and even the older girls, as well) may enjoy playing with their paper dolls on the fridge — or another magnetic surface — instead of on the table or floor, and not having to worry about keeping the ladies’ dresses on. This works best after laminating the dolls and dresses, as shown in this tutorial.

In this tutorial, we will show you how you can magnetize your paper dolls, using our Daughters of His Story Paper Dolls: Collection Two, featuring Abigail Adams and Sarah Edwards.

What you will need:

• Paper Dolls
• Scissors
• Roll of Magnet

Directions:

1. Collect your supplies and have a clean, flat area to work on. Before you attach the magnets, we recommend laminating them first.

2. Cut a piece of magnet from the roll long enough to span the back of each dress across the shoulders, just beneath . . .

One great way to prevent any tears or other damage to your paper dolls is to laminate them and their dresses, which both protects and strengthens them for long-term enjoyment.
