Test driving my new carvings. I just looked back at my blog from March 2007….lots of Lucky Girl posts and even a story of where the name Green Pepper Press came from. It makes me feel like I’m not showing the spirit this year – but I did carve today because a four leaf clover is one of my favorite images….just don’t expect a card from me, I didn’t schedule my free time very well.
Everyone is Irish today….don’t forget to wear your green, and have a lucky one. Cheers!
My Aunt Molly sent this….and we say: If you’re lucky enough to be Irish, you’re lucky enough!
