Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Thanks so much for joining me here for this weekly get together which unites crafty bloggers from around the world and hopefully inspires all those who stop by for a visit. I have to say, this last week's party was full of some amazing inspiration, and I'm so happy to share it with you here.

Vacation Crafts: Sidewalk Chalk
I was looking for the source of a photo for a Jewish newspaper and came across this post from 2010 that I never posted for some reason! My kids will now find it very funny that they are in their pyjamas drawing with chalk on Bubby's patio, my childhood home! But that in itself certainly sells the activity, namely they were so excited to get drawing with large chalk that getting dressed wasn't a priority. And I must say, that is certainly the best kind of vacation, crafts and pyjamas! So next time you head out for a little trip near or far, do consider packing a nice new package…
