A Crafty Soiree #29

Thanks for all the birthday wishes on Sunday! It was so fun to come home from my parents and see all the comments! I didn't get as much as I'd hoped done during my mini break but it was still nice for some down time from being online.

Now onto today's craftfest, last week's was our biggest one yet!!! So I already feel lucky to have such cool crafters to party with each week, even before this week's soiree, that coincides with the greenest day of the year this time! Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! To celebrate, I've got three green projects to feature.
Love the Spring Square Wreath at Frou-Fru Gal, what a beautiful way to welcome warmer weather and greet your guests. The little blue egss are my favorite part and the combination of all the textures gives it so much visual interest.A children's book inspired the Shamrock Mantle at Helping Little Hands. I really like the idea of getting your kids involved in creating seasonal decor that also reminds them of all things they have to be thankful for. Polly's even provided the template for you to download free in her post.

I wish it was warm enough to put my chicklet into a cute Bandana Dress like at Living with Punks. But I'm willing to bet it's just as sweet with a t-shirt on underneath. I think this dress is a lovely punch of bright color and an outift cool enough to wear today and all throughout warm weather.
