Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Summer is zooming by on what feels like a never ending school vacation with just one out of three teens slated to return to school in another month, and the other two, hmmmm. I have been blessed to travel every summer for at least a month each year, but this year we are staying put so we will have to plan lots of day trips to make the most of the three week vacation coming up right after Tisha B’Av. Speaking of T’isha B’av, the 9th of Av, this major fast day and saddest day on the Jewish calendar is coming up on Wednesday night, so this week is all about thinking about how we as individuals can help rebuild the world, even with small acts. In the face of the pandemic, there is more obvious food for thought than in previous years and yet with all the coping that is required sometimes it is hard to look at the bigger picture, and yet we must! So wishing everyone a meaningful week and a productive week, which might just mean filling your days with creativity! So enjoy the features from last week’s party, and then get off the computer and get crafting, or maybe learn a new doodle to add to your sketchbook?
