May the road rise to meet you and all that…AND may you indulge in one of these without getting brainfreeze ;)  *swoon*

How cute is this?  At first glance I thought it was a Shamrock kit, but my clever friend Anne sent this because she knows at our house 3/17 is Green Pepper's Day, coined by Peter many moons ago.

Many of you may already know this – first, that I'm a Kelly, and second, the there's a secret in my company name.  Cutting open a green pepper, dipping it into paint, and pressing to paper, makes for a great St. Patrick's Day card when you are stamping for the first time with your young child (now 20 years old).  Here are the keepsakes saved from a project Peter and I did together when he was 3.  I love when there are secret meanings behind something…..so now you know the origin.  Green pepper's pressed to paper make four leaf clovers, provided you've scouted out the best shaped ones.  How cool is that?

Mom arrives today!  Tonight we go see some Finn's perform.  Saturday we head to the city to meet some friends.  I will report on the roses if we get a chance to see them.  Have a good one…..and behave!

    Michelle-
    Happy Green Pepper’s Day to you (and your family)!
    After all these years I still am not able to get in the spirit…you think things would change but some things just don’t.
    Give your mom a big hug from me. Hope we will be seeing her in September as well.
    A hug for you as well!
    Until later,
    Judy
    xoxo
