Yummy is not even accurate!

Hi Everyone:

Yummy is not even accurate to describe this wonderful craft store.

I’m simply in luv with all the goodies I’ve found at this Etsy store.

I’ve contacted the owners and I wanted to introduce you to their fabulous store, I simply luv those date journaling spots wonderful for cards, scrapbook lo, and yes stamping.

One Bright Spot!

One Bright Spot is a collaboration of family inspired papercrafting design between twin sisters. Jen can get caught up in a mess of paint, distressing, and ephemera. Rebecca keeps the two grounded with her cheerful colors, clean lines, & beautiful cards. One Bright Spot was started in memory of their grandparents Renee and Sydney, who grew-up and met in England, came to America on the Queen Mary, and raised their family in Santa Barbara, California.

One Bright Spot specializes in handmade embellishments, journaling blocks, and custom orders – perfect for scrapbooking and card making! Their product has recently been featured in The Scarlet Lime scrapbooking kits. The sisters at One Bright Spot, know the heart of scrapbooking isn’t about all of the fancy paper, buttons, and glitter – it’s really all about the story you have to tell. They want to help you document that one bright spot, that memorable moment in your life.

Visit their etsy store www.onebrightspot.com and be inspired at Jen’s blog Create Well, Create Often http://www.createoften.blogspot.com/ They also do custom orders.

Have a great day,

Maggie

Hanukkah Unit Studies for Kids

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
