St Pat's Deco

Good Monday morning, peeps!  Hope you had a good weekend...after a crazy snowstorm on Saturday, Sunday dawned cold and clear and here we are back to the work week!  I have my club girls meeting today, so this will be quick, and since St Patrick's Day is coming up, I thought I would share a little something I made to put with my seasonal decor:

Instead of making an Altoids mint tin, I decided to make a little spool decoration; I printed out a little Irish girl two times, reversing one of the images, and fussy-cut her out.  I did the same with the sentiment, then mounted her on a little dowel inserted in a vintage wooden spool.  I covered the spool with green papers, added a button and bow one one side, and a glimmer-paper shamrock (made from three punched-out hearts) on the other.  She is sitting on the little tiered tin on my kitchen table and she makes me smile every time I look at her!  

Speaking of green (and smiling), I took Cassidy to a local high school musical production of Shrek; the role of Fiona was played by the oldest daughter of one of the sweetest families I know!  She's a senior this year, so this is her last high school performance, but I know she'll be singing her way through college as well.  Jessica brought her by so we could get some photos after the show:

She did such a great job, as did the whole cast!  Thanks for visiting today..enjoy it and be blessed!
