Happy August!!

Hi Everyone,

Julie here!  My turn to post an event LO after Hanukkah in July.  I chose Shavuot.  At my daughter's school, they always do a big celebration.  I love seeing the entire school dressed in pure, clean white.  I love all the flowers that the girls and boy wear.  I love the fruit and vegetables that the kids bring.  And I love that all the new babies born in the last year are presented to our Jewish community.  My little girls participated in the ceremony two years ago and it was a very special moment.

I used the Passover papers for this LO because of the pinks and to help bring out the colors of the flowers on my daughter's head wreath.  And the browns were a nice complement to the white without bringing it all down.

I'm also including a card that I created for my cousin's Bar Mitzvah using the Rosh Hashanah paper line.  I'm really bummed the picture came out blurry.  I didn't notice that in my camera and, of course, I've sent off the card so I can't do a retake.  But I think you get the gist of what the card is.

 

 

Altered Hanukkah treat tin

Hey it is Cassie again.  I am just dropping by to post one final Hanukkah in July project.  Don't forget to comment on this post or any of our other posts in July to be entered to win the Hanukkah line from Crafting Jewish Style.  For my final Hanukkah project I altered an empty nut container to make it into a tin to give Hanukkah treats in.  I hope you enjoy and don't forget to check back.  The winner of the prize for this month will be announced soon.

Recipe Time!

Hello!  Cassie here.  Happy Hanukkah in July again!  I was just dropping by to share a layout I made for my family "special occasion" recipe album that I am making.  This way all the special recipes we use year after year will be collected in one place and be easy to find.  For today's post I used one of my favorite Hanukkah treats, sufganiyot.  Nothing says Hanukkah like these yummy fried treats.  For anyone interested I use a recipe I found from Epicurious. 

Hanukkah in July- Inventory List

Hi everyone, Irit is here with my July Hanukkah page.. Yes, 5 month earlier, but here I am with my Hanukkah Inventory list. As you all know, kids are playing with Dreidel and are waiting for their Gelt, we, the grown ups, are eating.. And eating. And then, after those 8 days, we are dieting.

So   here is my journaling - laugh if you want, but it's so true.

One Holiday

Two girls

Three jars of oil

Four extra kilograms -that's more then 8 pounds, but it's for both girls

Eight days

Lot of food

As you all can see this July is full of HANUKKAH - see you again soon

Hannukah in July - layout

Hi, It's Shir and I'm happy to share with you another layout:

Every year on Hannukah we celebrate in the girls' kindergarten... The kids are dressed with white shirts and during the celebrations the lights are turned off and only ultra violet light is on - and all the white shirts are colored nicely... The kids are singing and dancing and the parents are taking pictures - like paparazzi :-)
