Luck O' The Irish...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I am of Irish heritage, so this has always been a big day in my family.  We will be off to my parent's house to celebrate with corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, green treats, and a shot of Irish whiskey in remembrance of my grandfather.  I made this card for mom and dad with two sets. The shamrocks are from Kitchen Sink Stamps and the sentiment is from Flourishes.  I added some green baker's twine, too!

The weather here in Ohio has been fabulous! We spend yesterday evening outside with neighbors and had a backyard campfire with S'mores for the kids.  I love having all of my windows open, and the smell of fresh cut grass. Hmmmmmm....I am ready for spring.

I had talked about redecorating our bedroom.  Tomorrow I will make the final decision on paint and get started.  Next, will be the master bathroom and then on to the kitchen.  Our house is only 8 years old, but I think a new tile floor, and granite countertops will make our kitchen shine!  I am so over the linoleum that looks like tile, that my boys have beat to death!!!  I also need to do some major reorganizing when it comes to my cabinets.  I think I just need to get rid of a bunch of stuff that doesn't get used on a regular basis, or at least put those serving pieces in storage, so that I have them when needed. They definitely do not need to be taking up space anymore!

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

I'm trying to get motivated on doing some painting (or maybe picking the color for my hubby to paint?!) I'd love to see pictures!
