St Patrick's Day 17th March

This post has some old photos, some links to youtube to share, links to packs to use and a prompt for your Leprechaun name. 

St Patrick's Day for me has a twinge of sadness - it was also my paternal Grandpa's birthday. 

So on this day I am reminded of the similarities between a Leprechaun's cheeky behaviour and that of my Pa. 

This is one of my favourite photos (it was taken about 50 years ago- yes I'm that old).

My cool green wig for St Patrick's Day and green cape.

What is your Leprechaun name?

Mine is Playful O-Really

A throwback photo of my kids using the 120 grids from one of my packs.
