The Luck of the Green!!!

St. Patrick's Day is this weekend!!! A day of feasting and drinking large amounts of green beer!! While I probably wont be drinking any green beer, I might drink one out of a green bottle....Stella....{I know...not Irish!} For dinner we will be having the customary Corned Beef and Cabbage...which I love but don't eat that often..{very fatty and very salty!!}...

I decided to make some chocolate covered brownie bites to give as little treats, took the easy way too and used a mix which my Darling Daughter happily made...once they were decorated with a little shamrock love and gold sanding sugar they were so perfect...tasty, easy and fun!! Great for a little lucky gift too....

I used a fabric sewn shipping tag and some handmade yo-yos to decorate the tag and simply popped in on the filled bag.....

Fun!!
What are your plans for the weekend? Have anything green going on??

I will leave you with one of my favorite songs as a kid....The Unicorn Song by the Irish Rovers...sure to please!! Haha!!


May all your days be lucky,

A Blessing and A Little Help, Please...

It's hard to do a post with something so light and fun as St. Patricks Day and something so tragic as the tsunami in Japan but today, is the day for both.

I didn't make any little treats to send in with the Kids today, they didn't seem to mind though and the little crazy leprechaun stopped by sometime in the night and left fun clothes to wear,{so no pinches today!}. He turned the milk green too and left a box of Lucky Charms and marshmallows to make some after school treats with. I'm making the traditional corned beef and cabbage but this year I'm also adding in some yummy Irish beef hand pies...Yum!!!! What are you doing? The traditional dinner? Pub Crawling...looking for that elusive green beer? Searching for Unicorns? Anything?

When we sit down to eat our traditional St.Patricks Day fare, we will remember how blessed and lucky we truly are. We will also say a prayer for the people affected by the tsunami in Japan.



Since my heart goes out to all those affected by this horrible tsunami, tomorrow, I will join many other bloggers in...Bloggers Day of Silence...The aim: to raise awareness and acknowledgement of the devastation going on in Japan. If you have a blog....consider joining in. You can also help by donating. You can donate here or choose any other relief organization aimed at helping those who are in need right now. I've said it before when it comes to donating...any little bit helps...donating doesn't have to hurt you....give what you can, what you are comfortable with....be it your time, money, energy....or in this case, even your silence. For more information...you can click here.

If you got thru this long post and can help in anyway...Yay and Thanks!!!

I'm off now...to the store to pick up some stuff for tonight....I hope you have some green on!!

and until next time...

May you have all the happiness...
and luck that life can hold...

Pinches and Luck to You,

Top of the Mornin' Marshmallow Lollipops!

Whew, been busy all day making these little lollipops... and now one of my little Helpers is home from school and she is now finishing up these yummies that she is taking to school tomorrow to give to her classmates instead of giving them little leprechaun pinches which her Teacher told the class they could NOT do to each other tomorrow! Ahhhhhh...

I'm not a very big St. Patrick's Day celebrator..so chocolate covered Marshmallows seemed just like the perfect little treat and the fact that I had all the supplies and I only needed a bag of Marshmallows to make it happen...really helped!!

The crazy leprechaun does come by and does a couple of silly things....like making the milk green....and I don't need a reason to make corned beef, yum! so I'll be making that...Do you have any plans? Drinking Green Beer? Going out? Do Tell!!!
Hugs,

Lucky You!!

With St.Patricks Day right around the corner, I thought I should do something green! This is a Rachael Anne Miller stamp, Lily, Picking Flowers from Stampavie!!! I love this image!!

I used super shimmery paper, The Green Day line by Reminisce and Bazzill Bling card stock!! Golden tread and Dew Drops add a little fun. I colored the image with Copics and I was sure to add a little glitter with my atyou pens!! Love those!!! This card will be on eBay shortly for a quick 5 day auction and you can see close ups and the inside there if you'd like to...

Until next time.....

May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
