St. Patty's Day Crafts


So many people are posting cute spring wardrobe ideas and pictures of sunny beach days, but let's be realistic here: I live in Ohio. It's 19 degrees, and is supposed to snow for the next 3 days. So, excuse me for being a Debbie Downer, but it's still hard for me to get into spring mode. (Although, I'm not saying I wouldn't LOVE to!) So, instead of posting a super cute swimsuit or pair of strappy wedges that might be on my summer wishlist, I thought I'd post some fun St. Patty's crafts I came across last night on Pinterest while I couldn't sleep. 

For Valentine's Day, Tinley and I made homemade Valentines this year for our family. It was much cheaper than store-bought cards (the child has 4 sets of grandparents!), and even more important, she LOVED it! 


So, I thought I'd share some that caught my eye. I know, I know, she's only 13 months, so some of them are probably a stretch, but hey, they're good ideas for the future! 







And, of course, some yummy treats! Don't these rainbow cupcakes look amazing?!




And, last but not least, some cocktails, for the adults after the kiddies go to bed, including my personal favorite, the ever-popular green beer. :o)

    1. LOL! Yes, some people that are currently enjoying spring make me sick! But, at least we get to wear cute winter clothing a little longer, haha! It'll be here before we know it, I don't know why I ever try to rush mother nature!

    1. I can't wait for some green beer! It makes going out for St. Patty's Day and facing crowds all worth it, LOL! I have no idea how to do the rainbow, I'm hoping for some direction with the recipe.... mine would be all brown too! Haha! I'm no baker, to say the least... thanks!
