  15. We celebrate two birthdays for St. Paddy'ys Day! Our niece turns 13 this year, and my childhood friend, Cindi, spends this first birthday Home.

But I will celebrate Life on this holiday and rejoice in knowing these two beautiful souls!

    Thanks for hosting!

Of course, we all wear green, my son likes to put on his Irish accent for the day (which isn't too bad) and I usually cook up some green treats. Another thing we sometimes do is make Leprechan Traps from old boxes and recycled things. We don't go all-out, but we have fun.

    ReplyDelete

  79. We use to have corn beef and cabbage every St. Patricks' Day. Then, many years ago I got one of "those" phone calls while prepping our dinner. My husband was in the hospital, and in bad shape. Everything worked out fine, but I haven't cooked Corn Beef and Cabbage, since then.

    ReplyDelete
  80. With a Dutch heritage and growing up in a Dutch community, I never knew about St. Patricks Day until my daughter befriended a girl who loves St. Patricks Day! So, no, there is no celebration in my life but it always surprises me how big of a holiday it really is!

    ReplyDelete

  83. No, we don't do anything for St. Patrick's day. I've owned a pin that says "kiss me, I'm Irish" for over 30 years and I think every year I'll remember to use it on St. Patrick's day and I never do...

  155. I don't celebrate ST. Patrick's Day. Several years ago I went to a St. Patrick's Day Parade and as you walked up and down the street people had there homes opened up for you to come in and have a drink and something to eat. It was very interesting.

  158. Thanks to your sponsors for the great giveaways. I love St. Patrick's Day, but sadly don't live near any big celebrations. My husband and I always make an Irish themed supper (usually corned beef and cabbage) and of course proudly wear our green.

  161. I really don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I just make sure my husband and I wear green. We hate to be pinched.

  162. Wow! Love the giveaways, and love St Patty's Day! My classroom is filled with Shamrocks...and I always have the children do something fun - related to the holiday! At home, a good corned beef with some Irish Soda bread for dinner - and I have been known to drop a small splash of green into the beer!!!

  164. When my children were small we were visited by a leprechaun. He would turn our milk green, switch the comforters on their beds, and do other little pranks. Now, unfortunately, the children are up much later than the leprechaun so he can never surprise them! We do decorate and wear green and have a nice corn beef and cabbage dinner!

    ReplyDelete
  165. Thanks to your sponsors for the great prizes. The only tradition I have is I wear my shamrock socks all that week. I have ten pair.

    ReplyDelete
  166. I have a funny leprechaun hat, and every year I take a photo of my grandson wearing it. It is so fun to look at the photos of each year as it gets smaller and smaller on the top of his head!

    ReplyDelete
  167. AWESOME sponsors! I would love to be the lucky winner, I don't generally celebrate St. Patricks Day but if it would make me lucky enough to win this giveaway I would wear green and possibly drink green beer and believe in leprechauns :)

    ReplyDelete
  168. We celebrate the birth of my second grandson who was born on St. Patricks Day in 2011. It also happens to be his father's birthday so there is lots of green in the house!

  169. My nail lady wears orange, in rebellion against st. Pat.?! Since I'm getting my nails done on the 17th I'll have to ask her to explain why again. Thanks.

    We don't do anything special for St. Patricks day, but it is my husbands birthday so we always have cake. :-)

  171. No, we don't have a tradition for St Patty's day. A few times I went to the bar(s) really early that day in college to drink. But I'm not a drinker anymore :) Thanks for the chance to win!! ksmith8@emich.edu

  175. I just wear some green! I have red hair, but I am just not that into St. Patty's Day!

    ReplyDelete
  176. No, I actually don't! I grew up in Indonesia and we don't celebrate St. Patricks day there so I have never grown up with it, hence no tradition.
    So what my husband and I likes to do is add green food coloring in cream soda sometimes.

  184. My youngest son was born on St Pat's day, so that makes it doubly special since my father's family was Irish. We always include something chocolate for favours and some decorative green hats on his cake.

    ReplyDelete
  185. I try to celebrate the holiday with a green milkshake, mint chocolate chip ice-cream and vanilla syrup. It's a favorite of mine.

    ReplyDelete
  186. wonderful giveaways! The gray connecting threads bundle would go a long way in a quilt I currently have in the works; I saw their new verigated threads the other day and love those as well. I don't have any St. Patty's day traditions.
