Happy B-day Broch!

I think I'm giving this to my little(est in fam but not really so little) sis in a few weeks G-d willing:

Yisroel Chaim, Completed

So here's the completed gift for my friends and their son:

He's holding on to his kippa (skullcap) and tzitzit, which he began formally wearing every day on his third birthday. (Links with more info are available in the original post.) He has since had his haircut and he looks adorable- a little boy with a pudgy baby face :). Mazel tov!

Have a Good, Sweet New Year!

Tonight, Sunday September 16 2012, is the onset of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year.
Traditionally, we wish each other a good, sweet new year. Why isn’t good good enough?
Everything in this world is from G-d and G-d only does and gives good. We pray that it be sweet, too, that we “taste” the sweet goodness. Here's to a good, sweet for all of us, including the ultimate sweetness, with the revelation of Moshiach (the Jewish Messiah) now!



The Rebbe (the Chasidic leader of our community and, in truth, the whole world) distributes lekach, honey cake, before Rosh Hashana

Wedding Gift for Levi & Faigy

An update to this post:

In the box I placed colored paper shred, laffy taffys and a Peanuts Philosophers little book set. (Those are mini chocolate bars dangling there)

Next Time I May Look at the Inspiration Photo/Instructions First!

I'm the type to take a new item out of the box, try to put it together, break it and then look at the instructions. This card is a visual representation of that. It doesnt really resemble the card style I was going for but it still looks good thank G-d!

Charity Box

 I used masking tape, a permanent marker, stamps and embossing powder to try to salvage this remarkably ugly charity box

Mazel Tov Y & M!

I hung this on my cousin's new apartment door, to share in the excitement as she and her new hubby came home from their wedding. The Hebrew words spell mazel tov, generally meant as "congrats".


As a bonus, I also got this little piece, to be used for something else. It was supposed to go on the door sign but i had to tone down its "girliness".

Yisroel Chaim

This is for my friend's son, Yisroel Chaim, as the Hebrew letters spell out, for his third birthday on Thursday, G-d willing, when he will have his first haircut party (more info here). In the center I hope to put a picture of him, I'm just not sure yet of the frame.
