Good Morning, Crafty Peeps!
This week at Shopping Our Stash, we want you to create a design that honors that most humble of humble yard birds, The "CHICKEN". I was stumped, for a while, because I really don't do whimsy. I think I found a solution that works for me and for the theme requirement.
Rosh HaShana is fast approaching and I used this challenge as motivation to finally come up with a design for the invitations to my Seder. Combining "Whimsy' with "Understated Elegance" proved to be rather daunting.
I placed the "Chicken" on the back of the invite and it flows. Adds a little humor.. I like!

| "I don't even want to tell you what this tastes like". |
My original idea was to put a doughnut in the center section, but decided that these gummed pads would be a more practical gift.
I knew the crafting gods were smiling on me when I found this wonderful "save the date" paper in my stash!
The invitation was made using a brown paper lunch bag.

| In deference to my Jewish friends, "b'li ayin hara" this is not my acutal seder menu. I would never serve meat and dairy together. G-d forbid! The items here are for display only.
