Happy Chanukah
If there's something you should know about me, it's that I'm a compulsive list maker and planner. Unfortunately, I also plan on making myself stressed with unnecessary projects. Whether it be for birthday parties, holidays, or just to be nice, I over book myself. But, it's those things that make life special right? I mean, my job is a job-what kind of pleasure would I have if all I had time for were, you know, the necessities. Of course those are important, I just choose frivolous tasks vs. sleep :)
I only did holiday cards once-when I was a freshman in college and missing my people back home. So I mailed out a standard holiday card from Hallmark. I still have a few left over in my drawer....anyway, that was a one and done kinda thing. But when I saw this handprint menorah, I knew it was the perfect solution to sending out Chanukah cards to our close friends and family. I was extremely nervous to work with paint since I hate mess! Both Moshe and Dovy were extremely cooperative during the entire 2 day process. First, I did the handprints and let them dry over night. Then, a finger/thumb is used to make the flame. The next night I used scrapbook glue (because that was all I could find) and I glittered it, because let's be honest-glitter makes things 10x better!
I think they turned out super cute, and they were mailed out to our family and friends this past Thursday. So far, I have heard word from one recipient and she loved it!
