I Love Good Mail!

I must tell you that I love getting mail! This morning when the mail arrived I was excited to receive a package from my friend Ally. You see, I entered a contest that she was having and I won a handmade dishcloth. How cool is that! I tore open the package and was delighted to see that not only had she sent my dishcloth, but she also sent some bath fizzies, a weekly menu planner, and some stickers for my girls. They were thrilled with their new stickers and I was so thankful for having such a thoughtful friend:0) Thanks Ally! We will keep in touch!

Leprechauns

We are finally starting to work on some St. Patrick's Day decorations for around the house. My favorite color is green, so these projects are perfect;0) Today we made Leprechauns out of toilet paper tubes.

1. Paint a toilet paper tube green.


2. When it dries, trace the end of it onto green paper.


3. Make a bigger circle around the area you traced and then cut it out to form a doughnut shape.


4. Slide the circle over the top of the toilet paper tube to create a hat.


5. Paint an oval for the face, just below the hat.


6. Glue on some pieces of yarn to form a beard.


7. Add some arms cut from construction paper.


8. Draw a face on and you have yourself a "wee little Leprechaun"!


I posted the pictures of mine because the girls used so much green paint that they will probably take a day to dry so they can finish them.

So, on with my giveaway. Because it's Spring Fling, I wanted to give away something to help spruce up your kitchen. I will be giving away some bright new dish clothes and a cute Easter Egg scrubber. In addition to that, I also have a boxed set of stationary. I love sending and receiving letters in the mail. This is something that seems to have almost disappeared with the age of email, so I thought I would help that cause with some pretty stationary:0)
