Alpha for Build A Kit challenge. I used Before the Rainbow and Stencil Tutorial.

O = Orange beard

L = Leprechaun

I've done a good bit of crafting through the years. Cross stitch, embroidery, woodworking, gag gifts, stenciling...and the list goes on. When my church was doing craft bazaars I enjoyed the projects where several people worked on the same project. One would cut, one would sand, one would base coat, and one would decorate...then usually, someone sealed the project. I must have build 40 or 50 butterfly houses...then someone else completed the other steps.

H = happy, especially if you drink Michele's Guinness!

E = emerald isle

C = celtic

Thank you, Google.

Z = Zozimus

Michael J. Moran (c. 1794 – 3 April 1846), popularly known as Zozimus /ˈzɒzɪməs/, was an Irish street rhymer. He was a resident of Dublin and also known as the "Blind Bard of the Liberties" and the "Last of the Gleemen".

I have so many pictures of the cats in boxes, drawers, laundry baskets, under things, etc. Here is one scrap layout I did.

Penny must have read the newletter...

She often lies on her back and between the refrigerator. Only occasionally does she get in the sink...both of these photos are from Saturday, March 11.

I missed this challenge until I read about it in the newsletter. Let's see what I can do.

  Hi my Daughter took me there its about hour 40 mins from me.  Did You go in the hot springs pools,  I never noticed healing properties either but ppl come from all over the world to come there.   Theres so many sites and things to do there, now days they have gambling and horse races is BIG.    loved your post Art pages.

We were not able to in the pools...not enough time. It was a fun trip.

In 2008 my basketball team traveled to Hot Springs, Arkansas for a tournament. It was over the St. Patrick's Day weekend. Hot Springs has all sorts of fountains which use water from the springs. It is supposed to have healing properties and other benefits. We drank a good bit of it...not sure that I noticed any benefit. Most of my basketball pages were created 10X 8 so they could be easily printed.

D = Dublin

L = lace
