“For each petal on the shamrock…”

Since three of my husband’s grandparents were Irish, St. Patrick’s Day gets a lot of attention in our house. He created three-dimensional images for these cards, and I added the words of this traditional Irish blessing:

These images are available on Etsy as 7×5-inch (folded) printable cards:

• “For each petal…” Gold Shamrock on Green Circle
• “For each petal…” Green Shamrock on Green Circle

Variations are now available as 8×10-inch wall art, so you can share one of these blessings with friends and family or keep it in your house year round:

• “May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks…” Gold Shamrock on Gold Circle
• “May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks…” Gold Shamrock on Green Circle

 

Speaking of St. Patrick’s Day, have you ever tried building a LEGO Leprechaun trap? If you have young children, you might want to give it a whirl. Here’s one of many Matt has built with and for the kids over the years:
