I guess this is showing you how far behind I am with completing my album right now? My little secret is out. BUT I have to tell you, I am A-OK with that. I actually prefer to have several weeks to play and catch up with at a time. I keep taking my pictures each day, and that to me is "all caught up."
... So anyway.
This is what our St. Patrick's Day looked like this year. We had a sneaky visit from a tricky Leprechaun.
I typed up my journaling with an old typewriter, so please excuse all of my spelling mistakes. Elsie put up signs around the house as a preventive measure, but that Leprechaun must not have seen the "make a mess" sign until he tossed dinosaurs all about the living room.
But good thing he did see this one. Although, Elsie was a little disappointed that he didn't leave real gold and silver. I got to say, it would have been nice if it was real. Too bad leprechauns are so tricky!
And here is my favorite part of the whole thing. The kiddies are always up for a little paint mess. I had them make their own clovers using their finger prints. The blank grid cards that Becky Higgins makes are perfect for stuff like this.
If you want to see more, I have a post up at the My Mind's Eye Blog today with more details!
Product Used: Becky Higgins white grid cards, Becky Higgins Design G page protectors, My Mind's Eye Kate & Co. Collection, American Crafts Memory Marker (Raspberry, Denim, & Evergreen), Typewriter.
Cute layout, I love the fingerprints project as well! I also like to work on multiple weeks at once, but I worry if I get more than a couple weeks behind [like I am now].

I love all the things you did with your kids for St. Patrick's Day! When mine were little, we just ate green food. So far I've only done one insert, and it was for St. Patrick's Day! Btw, loved seeing you in person on our PL CT video! =)

Really lovely pages, I love the fingerprint clovers and the cool journaling card you used with the diagonal stripes.
