Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, so great to meet up with you all here! Last week's party was full of great projects as always, There isn't a whole lot of Fall happening around here in Northern Israel, and certainly no American style pumpkins, but once the Jewish holidays start in two weeks, we'll be filling our homes with apple and pomegranate themed everything! In the midst of it all I am planning my son's bar mitzvah celebration, and will be sharing with you all the fun craftiness that is taking place soon, until then, enjoy the inspiration brought to you by all my crafty blogging friends…

Don’t Give Up On Your Orchid!
This post is for all of you out there that have possibly thought of simply throwing your not so great looking orchid in the garbage, or at least in the organic recyclables bin.

With just a little patience, your orchid, given the right care, can certainly grow new leaves and flower again! When the blooms have faded and the plant is not in all its glory, do put in an interesting container, and then follow some of my simple advice, ready?

Thank You Signs From The Heart And Teaching Kids To Give Thanks
Saying thank you and really meaning it is one of those little things that really makes a huge difference, not just for the receiver, but for the giver as well. In today's world where modernization has brought with it a feeling of entitlement, we have to work extra hard to teach our children (and ourselves) how to be considerate, caring and grateful! In the Jewish tradition we give thanks the minute we open our eyes each morning, but that doesn't mean we know how to express thanks to those in their lives! "One can never say thank you enough", is my motto, and while this comes easily to some, I…

Welcome back to Craft Schooling Sunday! After a month long hiatus, the party is back and just as strong and inspiring as ever!

Not to mention that I really think I need to get it together in the power tools department so that I too can be crafty and an all-around DIY champion…… hmmm.
