I'm Not An Alcoholic. I'm Irish!

"St. Patrick's day is the closest thing the Irish have to Christmas"

 -Michael from The Office

So St. Patrick's day is coming up and I am beyond excited! Not only because you can drink until your liver falls out without people passing judgement but because my birthday is two days after. People have had a day to recover and are ready to help the bars finish off that green beer or get rid of those green Bud Light bottles. 

Other reason why this is my favorite holiday/week of the year include:

Corn beef hash? Yes please!

The color green is everywhere!

Green beer!

Green Wine!

When I take pictures with Shamrocks my green eyes really stand out.

I am also taller than a leprechaun. It feels nice to not be the shortest one for once.

So drink till you can't stand and make sure your kilt is long enough to cover your lucky charms!

Happy St. Patrick's day!

Ahoy! It's a Boy! Part 2

Update: Here are the invitations that I have made for my cousins baby shower.

Want to make these? 

What you will need: 

navy, yellow and white cardstock                printer with navy ink 

white paint                                                Q-tips
white Hemp or cord                                  double stick tape

                           Martha Stewart anchor punch                             scissors

Directions
Cut navy card stock into 1 1/2 thick strips so that it is the size of a grosgrain ribbon.
Next cut off tip of the Q-tip and dip into white paint to make dots. While paint is drying print out invitations.

 

Use double sided stick tape to attach navy cardstock strip to the invite.

Fold extra behind the invite and tape. Take white hemp and tie it around the invite and make a knot. Make sure you have enough of the string to tie in the anchor. 

(Sorry I don't have a picture of it!)

Next use the tape and put invite on the yellow card stock. (I cut mine into 5x7 pieces)

Take extra string and tie in the anchor. You shouldn't need to knot it.


And TADAAAA!

These were some of the other invitations that I made but decided not to use.
