Lucky Little Leprechauns...

Remember this:

Well this is what they have evolved into so far:




By the time I am dome with them they will be hanging from my ceiling like ornaments. Of course mine is the one with the big feathers and hubs is the one with the big lucky # 7 on it because that is what we are a family of 7 (how strange and still mind boggling @ times).

I am completely obsessed with St Patrick's Day this year and already have the corn beef and cabbage ready to go. Didn't use to be a crafter by any means but with kids it's turned me into a full blown crafting holiday celebrating fool. If anybody knows me well then they already know that I think green is a great color and just about goes with anything as an accent color, so naturally I had to jump on the "Good Luck Green" bandwagon. Anyway that combined with the fact the our ancestors used to have a O' at the beginning of our last name makes me really get into celebrating the Irish spirit.

Plus just look at these little leprechauns and you can see that I must have found the pot of gold @ the end of the rainbow. The girls think we should start a new tradition of making cookies for the leprechauns..I think we should too.

Hi Tracy,

Yes I actually made the chalkboard. If you are interested in making one you can email me and I will send you the details.

Or if you really wanted it I would even be open to selling mine.

Thanks for stopping by.
