St. Patrick's Day Printable..Magically Delicious

With all the fun printables I've seen around everywhere I was inspired to create my own for St. Patty's Day. These are so much fun to make that I think this may become a new obsession for me. 

I've made this available in my Etsy Shop if your interested in purchasing one, or maybe I've inspired you to create your own!

Have a great week :)

Pots of Gold at the end of the Rainbow!

Since we are buried in about 4 feet of snow in these parts I have been dreaming of spring! And what holiday comes right after the official start of spring?  St. Patrick's Day of course!

Last year I was so busy with a new baby that I wasn't able to get these fun treats up for sale in my Etsy shop at all.  But this year I not only have them up, but nice and early too.

These are perfect for classroom gifts for your students or classmates, or from you to your children.  They also make a cute secret gift from a Leprechaun! (I know a lot of you are into the Leprechaun mischief ideas! Just Google or search Pinterest to learn more about this fun activity :)

Anyways if you are interested in purchasing a few of these fun goody bags, just hop on over to my Etsy shop to learn more! --->

Pots of Gold at the End of the Rainbow ...

Around St. Patrick's Day last year, my friend was at a convenience store and spotted these goodies sitting on the counter for sale.  She told me how irresistibly cute they were, and insisted that the following year we would have to make our own.

Well, with St. Patrick's Day once again on the horizon, the time had finally arrived to make these fun treat bags.  We purchased rainbow Twizzlers, Rolos, and cellophane bags.  I already had sparkly gold ribbon, and I also downloaded and printed these super cute tags from Amy of Living Locurto, for free! Thank you Amy!

Lastly I spread everything out on the table and got to work assembling them, without eating one piece of candy myself.  Now that was quite the feat!  Here are the finished results!    

If you'd like a bag or more for yourself, but don't have the time to buy all the materials and put them together, I have them available to purchase in my Etsy shop --> PapercrushCrafts, and on Ebay as well.

"Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,

And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers and me."

Leprechaun Mischief ...

Last year Autumn was all about catching a leprechaun.  She built a trap, and every morning she sprung out of bed to see if there was a little man in green inside.  After a few days she was disappointed that she had not only not caught a leprechaun, but that there weren't any signs that a leprechaun had been around the house.  I ended up buying a bunch of chocolate coins, and placed them by the trap.  That morning was a very joyous morning, and I knew that a new tradition was brewing!

I decided that a week or two before St. Patrick's Day this year, I needed to do some funny little things that would suggest that a leprechaun may have come to visit during the night.  After researching ideas online, I've come up with some really fun things to try.  If your up for this too you might just be tempted to snag one of these bright ideas for yourself.

These fun ideas have made me excited to plan a bit of mischief once Autumn goes to bed at night!  Have I inspired you to do the same? Or maybe your still burned out from the Elf on the Shelf antics?  

Looking Ahead:

Hope to see you there!
