Today was gorgeous...sunny, and in the 60's...it was so nice to have the windows open to let in the fresh air and for those who went to parades, a perfect day. I want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day. On March 17th, everyone is Irish for the day or so they say.
My husband is Irish and English, but I have no Irish blood in me at all. My dad's family came from Finland and my mom's from Canada. So, I am Finnish/French Canadian/American. To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I did wear a green top and green earrings..does that count? :-)
My cousin that I loved like a brother, when he was alive would tell me I had to celebrate St. Urho's Day which is celebrated on March 16th. I had never heard of St. Urho's Day until he mentioned it as my dad and grandfather never spoke of it. And, I guess it only came into being in the 50's and is a tongue in cheek made up holiday just for fun....who knew. (LOL) But for a laugh there are several sites if you want to do a google search or you can see one of the site that I googled here....http://www.sainturho.com/
I made these two St. Patrick 4 x 4's to send out for a swap for AAWA (An Affair with Art). Using rubber stamps, ribbon and shamrock embellishments. The backs were stamped too, but I didn't take a photo before I mailed them out.
If you are having a corned beef and cabbage dinner tonight...enjoy! We will be having our corned beef dinner on Sunday at my son and daughter in laws house.
