St. Pat's Day FABULOUS Ideas

WARNING:  This is one of those blogposts with TOO many ideas.  Couldn't help myself. 


1st--Kelli, you should make these for one of your parties you are always having.  Directions here (really quite simple):  http://zakkalife.blogspot.com/2011/03/recipe-shamrock-chips.html

LOVE this next idea for the kids OR for teacher gifts OR friends or women you visit teach.  It's a little pot, filled with gold-wrapped Rolos, wrapped in a clear bag and tied with a ribbon and a free prinable.  There are free printables for labels for different people "I'm so lucky to have you... as my teacher, as my friend, to be in love with you"....etc.  

These are also FREE printable BINGO cards.  How cute is that? http://thecraftingchicks.com/2012/03/st-patricks-day-lucky-bingo-free-printables.html

Print this out and give it to the girls and they can teach themselves to draw shamrocks.  Maybe they can make a card for their teacher.  This came for a great blog called Art Projects For Kids: 

Here's a banner tutorial that makes making this banner seem super easy: 

Last but not least if you can't find the POTS for the pots of gold, these little boxes came from a Dollar Store. Fill them with gold-wrapped Rolos.  Still use the same free printables from above. 

Here's one that is really toooooo complicated to make, but too cute not to add to a St. Patrick's Day post. From the Hostess with the Mostess blog.  Tutorial on her blog if any of you feel this industrious.  

And finally, and Irish blessing: 

May your blessings outnumber

The shamrocks that grow,

And may trouble avoid you

Wherever you go!

Love you all.
