Down south we sometimes enjoy different Christmas fare to you northerners. Because it is stinking hot on Christmas Day, prawns are a popular Christmas treat in Australia. The last two Christmases, however, we have had super crap weather so we had turkey and the whole hot lunch biz. This year, with optimism, we're doing prawns. Having prawns though involves big time organisation. Someone is nominated from the family and said person has to battle the big prawn line up. On Christmas Eve said sucker/person has to get up early and join the line for the big prawn. It's often a push and shove affair, but having prawns on Christmas Day is all worth it. So in honour of the prawn pilgrimage that many Aussies will be going on this year, I designed our families Christmas card with a prawn theme. Hmmm tasty I know... I bet you there are no other prawn themed Christmas cards out there. I'm sure the rellies in receipt of prawn cards will no doubt add another stroke to the, gee she's a weirdo file, but I likey.
Here are the prawn cards all printed and ready to send to the lucky recipients. I love these little prawnie cards and after printing them out I decided there was more crafting to be done with this design. So the prawn graduated to a little softie christmas ornament. I printed the image out on transfer paper which worked a treat. Ironed the design on to some linen and backed it with a cute check I had lying around. I then stuffed them till they could take no more and voila, handmade loveliness for our tree.
