A St. Patrick's leprechuan, craft, recipe, book and all things green

My grown grand is going to visit Ireland this summer and in my excitement for her I asked my fellow bloggers for some St. Patrick's day stuff.  They delivered a wonderful variety of leprechuan crafts, recipes,and information to read that that I felt you could enjoy as much as I have.  St. Patrick day is a delightful holiday with Irish roots that even those of us with only a smidgen of Irish blood can embrace.  I'm making one of the Irish Soda Bread recipes this afternoon and the little grands are keen to make the Blushing Leprechaun Cookies. 

Spring Green decorations

Spring is a wonderful time of the year.  The mantel decorations are going green with pops of red, orange and blue for Spring.  I used bright wrapping tissue paper to make book jackets for a lively leprechaun to stand on next to a blarney heart shaped stone my daughter brought me.  An enlarged photo of big girl grand inspecting a spring wild flower in Central Texas and some candles adorned with pretty ribbon, a beaded bracelet and dragon fly charms were all easy, quick projects.
