crafts and more

A friend of mine who is crafty but isn't Jewish brought this neat blog to my attention: Creative Jewish Mom. There are crafty activities for kids, for kids & adults, and for adults, as well as good descriptions and lots of photos. Some of the ideas require a trip to the craft store, others require a crochet hook (plus knowing how to crochet), but others are DIY at its easiest and best. There are ideas that are holiday-specific, but also a lot that can be used year-round (like wrapping paper and bow ideas). Stock up on some felt and colored contact paper and you'll be ready to be snowed in with the kids one of these days.
