BUSY BUSY BUSY

Wow I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. Things have just been crazy hectic. I have started teaching again and I feel like all I have been doing is prep, teach, prep, teach........

But it has been so good to get back into teaching and I am really enjoying how creative I can be with the lessons.

Now that I am getting into the swing of things and the prep is getting easier I will be going back to more crafting, so stay tuned for more creativity!!!

Purim is a month away

Has anyone started thinking about what they going to be doing for Purim this year? I have started thinking about it but not in to much detail yet. What I want to do in this post is share last years Purim with you.

So our theme last year was Pirates. Take a look at what I did for it:

These are the mishloach manot treasure chests I made:

My husband and I also made our own hamantaschen, which we thought sort of looked like pirate hats:

And of course what is Purim without the fun costumes:

I also entered a competition @ http://craftingjewishstyle.blogspot.com/2011/04/crafting-jewish-style-purim.html, where I came second for my entry :)
I sent in pictures of our costumes and mishloach manot as well as this cute tag book I made:

Hope you enjoyed my post and are a litte bit more inspired for this years Purim.

40 Does NOT Suck!!!!

Just want to do a quick post today to share a cute little project I did for a friend's 40th birthday. I thought it was very cute.

Take a look:

What do you think?  Sweet right?!?!

Date Box: January's date

This Months Clue:

 And Letter that I gave to my husband:

 Thank goodness I had planned a stay at home date for January because we landed up having the date during one of the coldest weekends we have had so far. Seriously it was fffffrrrrrreeeeezzzzzzzzing!!!!

But never the less we had an amazing night, it really was fun just to play games and spend some time together.

Originally the plan was to have a game marathon but we landed up playing only one of the games.

It turned out to be a very fun night while I slowly took over the world (hahahahaha)

My army:

 My husbands army:

 Me taking over the world:

Love you
