Happy St. Pat's Day!

I hope everyone has a fun St. Patrick's Day - are you wearing green? And Happy Birthday to my good friend, Trisha, whose mother told her when she was growing up that everyone was celebrating because it was her birthday! How fun is that.

A few weeks ago, my local art group swapped Irish/St. Patrick Day "twinchies." We each made 8 identical little 2" x 2" squares. I used a green alcohol inked background mounted on a larger cream colored cardstock. The words are stamped and cut out; I found the image online and greatly reduced it; Stickles frames the square and a tiny shamrock cut from a decorated hair elastic adorns the upper right corner.

We swapped them at our meeting and then took unfinished, approximately 7" square boxes from the dollar store and painted and embellished them, adding the twinchies to the little compartments. We each had to complete one additional square to fill the box. This is my completed box - I love seeing all the different and wonderful little mini artworks from my friends.
