Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! I think I’ll just type out the list of countries that contributed, because I’m in need of just a little armchair traveling at the moment. Somewhere that will take me away from all the red sand from a recent sand storm that has left our enitre neighborhood, (and my container…

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Last week we had contributors from Spain, Portugal, The United States, Macedonia, Singapore, Guatemala, South Africa, The United Kingdom, Hungary, Australia, The Netherlands, Israel, Romania and maybe more! As always it is such a pleasure to connect with you all! I still haven’t quite gotten back into the crafting mode…

Soldiers pray at the Western Wall, source here. Today is Yom HaZikaron, Israeli Memorial Day for our fallen soldiers. At every cemetary in the country families and friends and communities at large gather to mourn and to remember their children who gave their lives in the protection of our tiny country. A tiny country surrounded…

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Last weeks’s party was just packed with great projects from bloggers from places like Macedonia, Sweden, The United Kingdom, Singapore, India, The Netherlands, Japan, The United States, Australia, Hungary, and Guatamala!

Spring in the Galil, the region in Northern Israel that we call home is especially gorgeous and full of amazing sights for the whole family! I'm off to prepare for the final days of Passover, but thought I'd take a moment to share just a few photos from our adventures this week, during the Passover…

Dear Readers, Wishing you all a joyful and meaningful Passover! With all the preparations I just didn't have time to photograph anything specific for the holiday which starts tonight, but I think that this photo of a musical procession for a Bar Mitzvah boy is just a bit reminiscent of the Jewish People's journey out…

I'll admit, I'm not usually a big fan of balloons as party decor, but when you need a festive centerpiece in a pinch, or to decorate a guest room for a special guest quickly, well, I think I'm sold on balloon bouquets! And of course my kids were much more excited about filling the vase…
