Well, tonight we begin feasting in honor of Rosh Hashanah. In honor of this wonderful holiday of new beginnings, I wanted to give you all a gift. I hope you enjoy it. It is a gift of digital scrapbooking items that I designed for Rosh Hashanah. I hope you take lots of pictures so you can enjoy my gift! Here is the link for the file containing papers, word art, 1 quickpage and 1 frame. http://www.4shared.com/folder/eSBwD81f/ROSH_HASHANAH_FREEBIE.html Please be aware that the thumbnail previews don’t do the papers, etc. justice. The cropping mechanism they used didn’t crop them very well, but if you click on the thumbnail, you can see the whole graphic.Also, I have the last honey cake recipe for our countdown.

Guests at my fun Bee Tea thought this cake was so cute! To make the hive’s different-sized cake layers, I just searched through my kitchen drawers and Cabinets and found containers I had on hand to bake the tiers. Honey adds character to the spice cake’s flavor. -Sheila Bradshaw, Columbus, Ohio
