Chanukah Sameach!

***GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS FOR SHARING ALL OF YOUR GREAT IDEAS!***

Chanukah Sameach!

I really can’t believe it’s Chanukah already! I feel like we just took down the Sukkah (or did you?!)

I’m so excited to join in the 2012 Hanukkah Blog Party! So many fantastic bloggers, so many incredible recipes. Please take a look around and be inspired! The best part? One in 6 chances of winning a prize! See below for giveaway details! FYI – at the last blog party, one of my readers WON!

My idea was for printable Chanukah decorations and gift tags! Here is a PDF (TheKosherHome_ChanukahArt) for you to print at home! I’ve made picture frame sized images for 8×10, 5×7, 4×6, and 3×5 – mount them on blue cardstock if you’d like or as is! There is also a banner, gift tags and circles for the tops of cupcakes, or stick them on Chanukah Gelt! Go ahead – embellish with glitter and rhinestones! Ideas are as endless as you imagination!

Go ahead – feel free to send me some pictures of how you use these printables in your home, or at your Chanukah Party! I can’t wait to see! Some ideas are below!
