Rosh HaShana Symbols Mobile Or Wall Hanging Craft
Rosh HaShana starts on Sunday night yet there is still time to whip up a few fun decorations to add extra meaning to your holiday. Or maybe you are celebrating at someone else’s home and would love a fun way to add a special holiday touch to a bottle of wine or wrapped gift? Here is it my friends, simply paint some whimsical shapes that look like a fish, a carrot, a pomegranite, a beet, a gourd, and an apple for starters, and either use them together to make a mobile, or use them separately as gift tags, place markers, cupcake or cake toppers, or you name it!

Simple Gold Leaf Rosh HaShana Card Craft Makes A Perfect Fall Craft Too
If you enjoyed my simple Rosh HaShana card craft, well now get ready to take that project up a rung with the addition of some gold leaf, love it! It is true, real gold leaf comes in sheets, and can be pricey, but for some fairly small change one can buy little containers of gold leaf flakes that are perfect for crafting and not breaking the bank. The addition of some gold leaf pieces to the leaves or even the apple itself turns nice cards into something spectacular! And I’ll let you in on a little secret, I actually did it with black and well and wow! Ready to make…

Summer Doodling: Making Patterns On Glass
This past week I discovered while substitute teaching for a candle making workshop that doodling on candle jars can be a wonderful way to turn candlemaking into something truly wonderful and unique. While I was thinking about doodling a cityscape of Jerusalem on the jars, one of my students did this sweet doodle pattern, which was one of the better efforts. The only boy in the group drew the stones of the Western Wall on his glass which was also quite successful while others wrote blessings or their names. I’m quite sure you can think of a long list of ways to decorate your glasses or jars filled with colorful…

Summer Doodling: Travel Inspired Doodles For A Travel Journal?
I just love this summer travel themed doodle that my daughter added to her drawing journal a few weeks ago! And it is a very nice addition to my little summer doodllng series, says one proud Mama. My daughter has shown us all that one can doodle with a theme, which is such a great idea. In other words, if you have a travel journal, you don’t have to actually sketch places you’ve visited, but you could start with a few architectural elements (like the arch and domed roof houses seen here) or symbols of the place you’ve visited, and doodle around these. Add words, and voila, it could be…

Summer Doodling: Micro Doodles Are Amazing For Those With Patience
I’m not exactly sure when my daughter started making micro doodles, but as you can see she has become quite accomplished at the art of very tiny doodling! Originally she started making patterns like this using post-it notes, and now she has graduated to filling an entire 11″ x 14″ journal page, wow! I love the idea of little phrases amidst the doodles, and I’m thinking that she certainly has a future in pattern design, among other things! Want to make something like this yourself, or encourage a teenager in your life to doodle away? Lets get started……

Ah, yes at long last a post showing that we are actually involved in creativity around here at CJM! What can I tell you, life is busting at the seams and have been working hard on so many projects other than blogging, but I promise, all this will change soon. in the mean time I have a few doodling posts to share with you, and summer is the perfect time to just relax and doodle, so I hope this inspires you to take pen to paper just because.
