So introducing another instalment of Vegetable Carving 101, this time it is Simple Carved Carrot leaves!

Fruit Themed Party Favor Boxes Download Is Just Too Cute!
Remember my printable fruit themed favor or cupcake boxes that are perfect for Tu B'Shevat crafting? I have reduced the price to give you just a bit more incentive to purchase this wonderful pdf file that can be used in so many ways year round. Honestly these boxes look so great I enjoy looking at them stacked up casually, and I don't think I could part with any at the moment! But maybe by the time Tu B'Shevat rolls around in a few weeks, I'll be ready to fill them with dried fruits and nuts to give as little gifts to friends and neighbors to celebrate the Jewish New Year…
