The festive season is a magical time, brimming with joy, love, and, of course, Christmas decorations. Amidst the twinkling lights and glittery ornaments, there's something uniquely heartwarming about handmade decorations. This year, I dabbled in a beautiful form of art called paper quilling, and let me tell you, it's addictive! So, if you're scouting for a Christmas quilling idea to dive into the holiday season spirit, my recent project - the Quilled Christmas Wreath - could be just what you're looking for.

I make Shaving Cream Slime when I have a lot to get done because it entertains my kids for hours! 🙂
I seriously love everything about this sparkly Earth Day Slime. The bright bold colors are so beautifully and perfectly represent the earth and the beauty of the earth. Earth Day is such a great time to focus on the world around us and be reminded of how we can better take care of the earth. Making slime with kids is a fun project that you can do while you talk about taking care of the beautiful planet that we live in.
At the festival of Sukkot, a decorated hut or ‘Sukkah’ is built in the home or garden. This Sukkah provided food and temporary shelter to the Israelites while they spent 40 years living in the desert.
The book of Esther in the Old Testament tells the story of the Jewish people being saved from their Persian rulers. The villain in the story is Haman, the king’s advisor. When he appears in a play or in storytelling it is traditional to use a ‘grogger’ or noisemaker to drown out his name.
