The Sea Of Galillee (Lake Tiberius, Yom Kinneret) On A Beautiful December Afternoon
Above: The Kinneret, The Sea of The Galillee In Northern Israel, With The Golan Heights In the Background. Looking east across the lake. My daughter is on school vacation (the boys have half-days) and so we took the opportunity to take a 40 minute drive to the Holy City Of Tiberius (Tiveria) for some much needed clothes shopping for her, and fortunately I brought my camera along. And more fortunately, my husband actually stopped the car so I could get out and capture the gorgeous views over The Sea Of The Galillee, as we returned home to continue our Hanukkah celebrations.

Wishing You A Joyful, LIght-Filled Chanukah!
To My Dear Readers, wishing you a wonderful Chanukah, a chanukah sameach, filled with joy, and light. This is our chance to help banish darkness from the darkest corners, and to fill them with hope for a better, brighter world! So light the Chanukah candles, spend time with friends and family and give thanks for all the goodness that we do have. Give lots of thanks, as you gaze at the lights of the menorah, this is the time, and you have six more nights to continue doing the same wonderful thing!

Geometric Woven String Star Gift Toppers And Place Cards
Geometric string stars are so fun to weave, and they also happen to look great at gift toppers and gift tags! I just love how they look on my hand stamped olive branch wrapping paper, and if you're making them for your own family, well, you can save them afterwards to make a geometric string star garland!

Geometric String Star Garland Is Perfect For Hanukkah And Beyond!
Geometric woven string stars are so simple to make and with such fabulous results, everyone with even the slightest crafty bone in their body should make some, NOW! And look how cute they are strung as a Hanukkah garland, or for just about any holiday or occassion! I made these with un-dyed crochet string, and recycled cardboard, for an article here on Houzz.com, but sky is the limit as far as the materials one could choose to use. Check out my giant string star craft, as well as my original post, geometric string craft stars, to see them multicolored and in all kinds of configurations not shown here!

DIY Hanukkah Menorah Made From Shot Glasses That Looks Amazing!
Hanukkah is on Sunday night, so now would be a good time to make some quick Hanukkah projects that look great and are quick to make. For starters, I'd recommend this shot glass Menorah that I made for a Hanukkah DIY article for Houzz, as it is so simple and looks surprisingly elegant, I must say! Even if you already have a Hanukkah menorah that you'll light in a window, or in a doorway (there are several different customs regarding where one should light the menorah, we light ours in a window looking out over the street) why not fill your home with more Hanukkah light on a table or…
