Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Is the luck of the Irish with you today?  I’m feeling quite lucky…. lucky that the sun is shining and it’s almost 70 degrees here!!  The baby and I had lunch outside by the lake and watched the geese.  I couldn’t ask for more considering it’s still March!

I made this quick wire charm-holder style  necklace with thoughts of good luck.  The pewter Green Girl Studios charm says “Lucky” on the backside…perfect to remind you of all of your good fortunes in life.  I oxidized the  necklace and tumbled it for a nice shine.  Perfect to wear every day, any time of the year.

Did those mischievous leprechauns visit your house?  They sure left their mark here…. knocking over furniture, turning the milk green, and even leaving a pineapple in the trap that the kids left for them.  Maybe they were upset that we didn’t create leprechauns for our craft project as we’ve done in years past.  This year we were a wee bit short on time, so the kids made their own lucky Blarney stones.   Are you familiar with the legend of the Blarney Stone?  It’s quite interesting and you can read about it here.  Now I’m making an Irish Stew and will attempt some Irish Soda bread later.  After all, I’m a McGinnis!

Oh, I have some news for you!  You’ll want to stop back here on Friday…. things are going to get TOTALLY TWISTED.  See you then!
