Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day!

Happy March, Happy St. Patrick's Day, Happy Spring.....

At our house, we celebrate St. Patrick's Day from January 15 to the end of March!  Very fun!  

Each year we plan a St. Patrick's Day party/open house for everyone and anyone we see, after the local city parade.  Usually we have between 35 to 50 people.  Everyone brings stuff to eat~all Irish related food or green/orange/rainbow stuff and drink, of course.

This year my husband is going away for a golf tournament that he was invited to, and we will miss him at the party.  But, "even though the Leprechaun's away, WE still want to play!"  That was my line on the invitation this year! ~from Smilebox. So funny!  And, there was a hysterical leprechaun dancing to a jig...

If you are ever having a party or want to send a note, a thank you, a birthday wish, hello - you name it.. .you need to check out www.smilebox.com.   It is the best!  You can add pictures, it plays music and there are tons and tons of options!  Oh, did I mention ~ it is free too!!! 
Although, you may want to join, for a monthly fee, there are more options available if you are a member.
So, check it out if you get a chance. 

Also, if you enjoy decorating... (hear comes my plug...) everyone could decorate for any occasion ~St. Patrick's Day ~ with solid colored glass ornaments!  My company, www.thewhitehurstcompany.com, offers one of the largest selections of glass ornaments in 9 sizes...from 1 1/4" up to a 7" glass ball.  We have over 17 shades of green available to choose from.  Here are a few of them:



Anyway, there are lots of ways to use these ornaments...

~place different shades of the glass ornaments in a bowl and place on a shelf.
~hang from different lengths with green ribbon from a chandelier,
~make a Shamrock Tree with stray branches in your yard, spraypaint them white and hang glass ornaments from them..etc...etc...

Basically, you can use glass ornaments everyway you always use them, just color coordinate them to the holiday!

Whether you are Irish, like to decorate for the holidays, or just enjoy the annual parade....
May the luck of the Irish always be with you and sun always shine upon your face....
