{ shamrocks for cheap }

have you checked out the after valentine day decor sales?

i didn't do a step by step tutorial. . .sorry. . .

but. . . .

1. i bought 3 packs of pink heart cookie cutters for 50 cents each

2. spray painted them a fun green that was in the garage

3. hot glued them together like a shamrock

4. attached some fun ribbon and burlap

5. and voila. . . .( i use that word often, don't i?) . . . i had two decorations to go on the boys' doors for only 1.50 plus tax!

i actually had to remove the welcome spring sign on saw's door and the basket full of eggs on sam's door! i have already decorated for easter. . . but i decided this morning to do a few things for st. patrick's day!

did you know that:

the humble shamrock plant, with its three leaves, was reverred. St Patrick, when he set out to convert the Celtic inhabitants of Ireland, would have been fully aware of their predilection for the number three and, according to legend, he used the plant to illustrate the Christian concept of the Trinity ie to show how one God divided into three: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

i'm very thankful today.

thankful for the sunshine! i've really missed it and so has by kiddos!
