Happy ST. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! This is one of my favorite days of the year because I come from Irish hertitage! Cheers!

Here is a simple way to pass on the cheer today to your friends and family!

This simple card requires: card stock, construction paper, scissors, and glue. Cut out shamrocks using a stencil and the construction paper and glue them onto a folded piece of cardstock!

I love the "luckey charm" card! What a great way to present a gift on St. Patty's Day. By taking a piece of green card stock, cut out the square, feed through the necklace through two holes punch with a thumbtack, then with a white marker create the saying on the front.

CHEERS!!!

Yes Please!

Tidy It Up Tuesday!



What an easy Tighty It Up Tuesday project to create a bar space in your living room or dining room. By hanging shelves and organizing them with baskets and bar accessories you can create an organized entertainment area!

If you are living in a rental and can't paint/wall paper your walls as seen here try to line the back of each shelf with decorative paper with spray adhesive!

Here is an  affordable shelving unit from Ikea!
