Greening it up a little...

When I saw this banner here I knew I needed one of my own. It was really simple and I love it...




I just switched out my subway art .. found it here I also found a really fun website that gives you leprechaun names and I wrote them on the chalk board. My kids think this is so silly and they are having fun calling each other by these names.

I think I need more green?!!!

We are gonna trap ourselves some Leprechauns....

So here is our little surprise for our little leprechaun friends... I am not sure how I am going to break it to my son that we will not actually trap any of the little guys - he is dead set that he is going to catch one and take it to school tomorrow!! Should be an interesting discovery for him in the morning!!




So just so you all know how "on the ball" I am .. I have been so EXCITED about this idea for weeks. I totally spaced it until tonight when we were walking around Costco and I saw a bin of empty boxes .. and I suddenly remembered - so I snagged a few!!
So because I am so good at planning this out... I forgot to buy gold coins to leave for the leprechauns- so if you look really close you can see my lame excuse with circles cut out of gold paper!! I just told my kids we were being sneaky like the leprechauns.. and only pretending to leave them real coins- good thinking huh!! They thought I was pretty clever for that one!! And as long as I can fool them then that's really all that matters -right?

LUCK

My husband is awesome and bought me these cute LUCK letters for Valentines Day... so cute!! They inspired my St.Patricks Day mantel....



So here is a run down- just incase you are interested:) You might notice the jars - they used to be black, I have a problem leaving anything alone for to long - so I decided to repaint them white!! I Love them!!! Do you like my little 4-leaf clover topiary... I will post about those later!!! I made a little lucky sign for the wreath hanger and that was about it.. green is a popular color in my house so it was very easy and fun to mix everything in,,,
