Luck of the Irish to you and Yours....

I am a strong believer in doing something for every major holiday. Or maybe I just like a good party and/or gift either way here are a few fun St.Patty's Day Ideas for you and yours... Enjoy....Truly, Gifted

Here is a Wall Hanging from Better Homes and Gardens for those who own a sewing machine http://www.bhg.com/holidays/st-patricks-day/crafts/shamrock-wall-hanging/

Martha Stewart living had thid fun pipe cleaner button for those cuaght without thier green. You'll need bump pipe cleaners, card stock, a utility knife, safety pins, and white glue. Place pipe cleaner on a clean work surface. Bend the top bump into the shape of a leaf, twisting to secure. Fashion leaves out of the second and third bumps. Twist final bump around the center of the leaves once or twice to stabilize, then bend it into a stem. Trim off sharp, pointy end of pipe cleaner. Color-photocopy, or download and print,
cards and medallions onto card stock. Cut out with a utility knife. Attach safety pin to back of shamrock, then pin shamrock to card. Glue medallion to shamrock.

I also read of a family that leaves their shoes out the night before and a magic leprechaun put treats in them for the next morning. Things such as green candies, a green shirt, and a couple of green knick knacks. What a great Gift.
