They are a devout Catholic family who brings <a href=”http://www.artisticcrosses.com/”>artistic crosses</a> to a higher level of glory to God.</p>
<p>You can read their story <a href=”http://www.artisticcrosses.com/files/Cross_S.pdf”>here</a> and see their beautiful handmade stained-glass <a onclick=”window.open(this.href, ‘_blank’, ‘width=621,height=835,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0′); return false” href=”http://caygibson.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/stainglass.jpg”><img title=”Stainglass” height=”134″ alt=”Stainglass” src=”http://caygibson.typepad.com/cays_cajun_cottage/images/stainglass.jpg” width=”100″ border=”0″ style=”FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px” /></a> crosses <a href=”http://www.artisticcrosses.com/”>here</a>.</p>
<p>Frank and Eva don’t know that I’m plugging their little business (which they consider a ministry for the glory of God) but I could not (especially with the Christmas holidays approaching) let the chance slip by to help reveal these <a href=”http://www.artisticcrosses.com/”>artisitic crosses</a> to those who pass by this site looking for a little loveliness, a little comfort, and a little blessing in their lives. </p>

I can vouch for the Thompson family’s faith, their family, their love of God and country and for Frank’s work ethic and the quality of his work. Frank has done, and continues to do, stained-glass art on windows in churches throughout the area. He also teaches a leisure learning stained glass art at the local college campus. </p>
<p>He now uses his God-given talent to let God’s light shine to a whole post 9-11 / post-Katrina/Rita world. These beautiful artistic crosses give new meaning to "let your light shine."</p>
<p>Tell them that Cay sent you.

These are absolutely gorgeous! We will buy a few for sure!!!
