Folk Art Doodle Bee Gift Cards Or Tags
After drawing a whole barrel of folk art doodle apples last week, I just had to give the same technique a try with some bees, and I’m happy as can bee with the results! Okay, truthfully it did take me a whole sheet of bees to get it right, (and I almost gave up, yikes!) as I just couldn’t find the right combination of florals and stripes, but in the end, I found a formula that works, and am so happy that I stuck with the idea in my head! And in any case, stripes and florals always go together, so why not with some fun folk art bee cards…

Painted Rock Garden Project For Rosh HaShana!
Yes, it is certainly true, you won’t likely find any other painted rock projects in the Rosh HaShana crafts category anywhere except here. And yes dear readers that is because here at CJM creativity is the name of the game, which means we needn’t be constricted by standard ideas when it comes to making projects for specific holidays! So yes, apples and honey, carrots and fish, and shofars do represent Rosh HaShana, but then again so does a rock garden filled with hopes and dreams and prayers for the new year! So, while I did not create this lovely rock garden, rather photographed it in the Bunker HIll neighborhood of…

Wooden Fish and Whale Shaped Signs Are Inspiration For Jewish Holiday Crafts!
One of my favorite things about beach towns and rustic vacation destinations is fun signs, and this year I spotted a few great ones during our week in Onset Massachusetts in the Cape Cod area. (More on that in a few weeks, after my Sweden recap!) It occurred to me that a fish shaped sign could be great for Rosh HaShana, and a whale shaped sign is perfect for the Succah, we actually have some Succah whale art, so this is just another fun idea. And of course, this is just inspiration, meaning, look at the photos and if they speak to you, let your mind wander to some fish…

Folk Art Doodle Apple Cards Or Gift Tags
Now is the time of year for all things apple related, because Rosh HaShana is approaching and the apple is one of the symbols for the Jewish New Year, not to mention Fall of course. It might be hard to believe that once upon a time apples were seasonal fruit, but yes indeed, and therefore they were given a great deal more respect I might add. So lets shower those apples with some attention and cover them with folk art doodles! This idea popped into my head, and while the original thought was a painting, using markers is much quicker (for most of us) and a great way to whip…

Giant And Elegant Origami Apples Are Perfect For Any Fall Occasion
Origami apples are so simple to make and are the perfect craft to whip up right now! Fill a basket with them to use as a centerpiece, use them as place cards, hang them mobile style or make a bunch and scatter them around the house. (Or save this idea and gift a whole basket full to your teacher!) The best part is they look great everywhere and any where, and would make cute little Rosh HaShana gifts as well. Attach a tag that is a card and you’ll surely warm the hearts of all your recipients! I used these very apples as apple centerpieces for a Rosh Chodesh party,…

Cardboard Fish Centerpiece For Purim, Or Just For Fun!
The cardboard fish centerpieces I made for our community Purim party were a hit, and now I get to use them to decorate our house for Purim, coming up quickly next week. I don’t think I’ll use all ten of them, then again, a school of fish swimming down my Purim table could be lots of fun, right? I’ll get out the blue tablecloths and take it from there…..maybe I’ll make some milk carton boats or use some plastic ones and do a whole ocean themed table…….I guess it all depends on how quickly the costumes go this year, and how many guests we’ll be having. At this moment I’m…
