Pink and Purple Mazel Tov

The sentiment is מזל טוב, or in English letters "mazel tov", the Hebrew expression commonly used for congratulations.

Lots of Updates and Comments, Most Recent First

I always read and enjoy the comments that people post about my projects. I found it intriguing/amusing (I'm not sure of the right word) that noone commented on this project, even though I shared it on three challenge blogs. It is a ritual Jewish item, but I've posted about Jewish items before (chabad is in my name!) and a short morning prayer and hand washing seems pretty straight-forward to me. And it is just a post about a decorated bowl and cup. I guess my attempt to scale down my overthinking from my usual 130% got me to about 110% & as usual it still wasnt enough & this post was more intimidating than I thought it would be! At least I enjoyed it :)

I love constructive criticism! with the help of some friends, i realized this card needed some more clarity. I hope this helps!
