Since St. Patrick's Day is this weekend, and since my husband performs Irish Folk music (Chris Morgan), and since my Irish ancestors would be disappointed if I didn't celebrate this occasion in some way....I think it's time for a bit of a giveaway.
So, I'm looking at a rather fabulous collection of green-y,gold-y scrapbooking/cardmaking/paper crafting goodies that is just begging to be sent out to someone.
Leave a comment here on this post between today 3/13 and midnight on Sunday 3/17. Tell me something fun you do for St. Pat's, your favorite Irish song, your favorite Irish food or drink or just say "Hi!". Monday morning a random number will be chosen and that number post will be the winner! As I've done with other giveaways, I'l let Christopher the son (8yrs.) choose the number without looking at the posts. Sound fun?
Okay......go!
I have a shamrock shake!

I am feeling lucky (in response to your question)!!! :). For St. Patty's I love to celebrate with a green beer or two and some fun festive music!!! This year I am pregnant, so no brewskies for me. However, I do plan to celebrate with my 4-year-old and hubby somehow...maybe make our own fun at home!! Happy St. Patty's Day to ya!!!

My favoite for St Pat's Day is Corn Beef & Cabbage Dinner :) Then Ruebens the next day!
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks,
May your heart be as light as a song,
May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
That stay with you all the year long.

My husband will say corn beef & cabbage, (which I personally could live without lol), for me it's a green milkshake.

I really don't do anything special than having the traditional corned beef and cabbage (which I cook in beer). We are not Irish (well, then again we are all Irish on that one day)so there is really no family tradition other than that. I remember in school we sung When Irish Eyes are Smiling....but really that is about it.

.. many,many,many years ago - think I was 5 - my favorite Irish song was MacNamara's Band and while the "grown-ups" were having their St. Pat's Party, I would put the record on the Victrola and march around our apartment singing and banging on my drum!! Oh, the fun of the Day! ;+)grammbo

No special celebrations, but I always try to wear something green.

Hi, Beryl! My grandfather was full Irish, son of an Irish immigrant! I love Irish culture. I still have cousins in Southern Ireland! On St. Patrick's day, I just try not to get pinched. :D

Of course I wear green. The best part is the corned beef, cabbage and Irish soda bread. I have about 6 Irish music CDs and love all the traditional music. Celtic Woman! YES. Irish Tenors..YES YES. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. Cindy

Hi Beryl,
We have not seen you in a while at Martinez Methodist Church on our scrapping days.
Even though I am not Irish, I wear green on 03/17, my daughter was married on 03/17/12 and yes, I cook corn beef and cabbage on 03/17... :)
May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,and all your heart might desire.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all...Kimy

A Reuben. In fact, I started early and had
Last nite!! Wear green to avoid pinches.
Also a green milkshake sounds pretty good.

When my son was in Kindergarten, the leprechaun played ticks on them. For years we built a trap baited with Lucky charms. He is now 25 and I still get him a St. Patty's day basket of goodies!

I am half irish and so we celebrated it on a regular basis. Love Guiness and Irish whiskey. Love bangers and mash but I believe that is English. Favorite song: When Irish eyes are smiling. Love Riverdance and Celtic Woman and have seen them both live. Thanks for a chance to win. Johnna
