So

My favorite holiday is here, though it is not a really happy one this time. Massive Fire - killed most of our lovely bush area, and took many peoples life...so so so very sad.

I try to keep my spirit up so it won't reflect on my girls. So, as always, during this holiday we are having our 8 days of Hanukkah crafting.

So, so far, we made window stickers with holiday symbols,

(I will take photos when they'll dry =))

and, played with black covered colors =)

Happy Hanukkah

Hoping for better times

Much love,

My Flickr Faves of the week

1. Tubal Art | Bangkok, 2. in-complete, 3. Traditional Thai Long Tail Boat - Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, 4. my heart for you, my Flickr friends .....

This week's theme "MY FAVORITE DESTINATION"

I must say, I was thinking a lot about this one - at first I was like "I love to travel so hard to choose..." and than it was like..."Isn't it is all about reaching some peace in mind, happiness and to be complete about and with ourselves..?" Oh well, as I thought it is a tricky one - so I added it all =)!

For more lovely mosaics go over to Artmind and join the play!!!

Now, Friday we had the most fun and creative 'Arts & Crafts Forum' meeting at the north part of the country.

It was so much fun (as always =) ).

The meeting subject was “LIGHT”. We had to make little giveaways goodies, and one major work that will be exchanged in a fun gifts game =0)

This is what I’ve made for all of them:

and rapped:

and this was my “light gift” for the game:

and here is what I got (polymer clay):

Also, at the meeting we had candles making course which was very professional and covers many options and ways for candles making – so I guess I will have to find the time to get more practice of that=0).
Beside these we had exchanged so many great arts and crafts!!!!! I will post some pics of it later on, it is such a great fun to have such great handmade items and to get to know all the great people behind it.

Also, each one of such meeting has such a great culinary yummies!!! =D each one of us brings something and together we create the best menu and meal ever =0)

Happy new year!!!!!

Happy new year!!!!!

New year is here! I have decided to start it with a calm morning at home.

And wish for you and myself relaxed and calm feeling towards this new 2009 year =0).

Since I am at home, I enjoy a lot more studio and art time and I get to make things I normally would not have the time for, which Is really nice.

Paper cuts and punched picture I saw at one of the design shows on TV, I can’t remember which one… but I thank for the inspiration =0)

Much love
