St. Patrick's Day!

Hi, Friends!

It's a gloomy rainy windy day here.  I thought for sure my dog wouldn't want to go out into the mess.  But, he did and when he came in I had the paper towel ready before he could shake the wet all over.  He's such a good dog!  One of his favorite spots is guarding our front door.  He's so protective and we are so lucky(blessed) to have him!  Here is a pic of our sweet, Shadow...




And, speaking of lucky(blessed) the other males in my life are my husband and my son!  I made the above card...two of the same...for each.  I made it last weekend when crafting with my friend, Nancy.  I can't tell you what company the stamp is from since I borrowed it from my friend and forgot to note the company.  The border die I used is from Die Versions.  The embossed shamrock folder is from Darice.

My son is visiting my sis-in-law in Phoenix right now...so jealous...lol!  But, we did visit with her last September.  Anyways, I thought I'd send him some happy mail that will be waiting for him when he returns home.  I placed a lotto ticket inside the card.  I hope he's lucky!

Well, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Maria

  5. Your dog is bautiful! Isn't it wonderful that he's the keeper of the house and protects you?
    Here in Holland we are not familiar with St Patricks day but the card you made for both your men is gorgeous!
    The weather here is windy, clouded and rainy too. Yikes!

  10. Great pic of Shadow! My dog Rafa (a schnauzer) doe not enjoy the wet weather too much but we do go to walks anyway... I think he hates the weather because he knows he has to go to shower for paw washing afterwards! ;) Great card. We don't celebrate this holiday in Finland but I think it's a fun one!
