Luck O' the Irish

St. Patty's Day is only a few weeks away and I can't wait to have all my friends and family over to celebrate our Irish heritage.

I have been slowly turning my house green!

I will be making lots of yummy Irish recipes too. I will share them with you soon...I think my favorite is the Guinness jello shots and bubble & squeak...so yummy!


I painted the sign, then distressed it using Jim Holtz stain. I love that stuff!

I used 2 different shades of green tulle and candy coins. I may replace those with plastic ones so we can eat the chocolate. :D

I cut the shamrocks with my cricut then punched holes and stung them on a ribbon. I also inked the edges with Jim Holtz stain.  So easy!

I even hung them from the curtains. Found the foam shamrocks at the Dollar Tree.

I also found the green flowers and flags at the Dollar tree. Love that place! The leprechauns are made with sculpey clay. I still need to attach their feet.

Milk glass from my collection laced with Dollar Tree ribbon. I found the felt shamrocks their too.
There is still much more to come. I have found lots of ideas on pinterest I want to try for the party.  Find them here. http://pinterest.com/mrselmore/luck-o-the-irish/

I painted the sign, but if you don't want to go to the trouble I created a free printable for you!
