Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Six Fun Things to Do *PLUS* U2's Latest

Monday, March 17, 2014

I hope you remember to wear green so you won't get pinched!

If you have nothing planned today, I have a few suggestions:

1. What to make:

Welcome spring with this beautiful moss wreath.

Tutorial from HGTV

2. What to arrange:

This is one of the prettiest floral arrangements I have ever seen!

This bouquet of green flowers – roses, calla lilies, hydrangeas, bells of Ireland, and viburnum – is placed in a basic container that is covered entirely in Kelly green ribbon...stunning!

3. What to bake:

Lucky Charms Cupcakes

from Betty Crocker

I love the little cupcake picks on these!

4. What to read:

One of my favorite books

Read about Irish history through a storyteller's tales in this classic Irish novel.

5. What to watch:

One of my favorite movies!

Here's the trailer:

6. What to download:

In honor of St. Patrick's Day and Musical Monday, I wanted to share the world's favorite Irish band's latest song produced by Modest Mouse. I love this song, and the black and white video is very pretty!

U2 "Invisible"

"Invisible" It’s like the room just cleared of smoke I didn’t even want the heart you broke It’s yours to keep You just might need one I finally found my real name I won’t be me when you see me again No, I won’t be my father’s son I’m more than you know I’m more than you see here More than you let me be I’m more than you know A body in a soul You don’t see me but you will I am not invisible That's right I’ll be in the invisible world I don’t dream, not as such I don’t even think about you that much Unless I start to think at all All those frozen days And your frozen ways They melt away your face like snow I’m more than you know I’m more than you see here I’m more than you let me be I’m more than you know A body in a soul You don’t see me but you will I am not invisible I am here I am here There is no them There is no them There’s only us There’s only us There is no them There is no them There’s only us There’s only us There is no them There is no them There’s only you And there’s only me There is no them

Join Miss Angie for Musical Monday!!!

Until next time... Pinch like you mean it! Ricki Jill

I knew I could count on you! Beyond my shamrock necklace and socks, green shirt and sweater from Ireland...I was a bit stumped! How have I not even seen that movie?

I love Leap Year. We were just going over our favorite bands through the decades and hubby loves U2. I think he saw them about ten times live and traveled to other states too. I guess he loved them right?

RJ,
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you. I liked that Amy Adams movie, romcom movies are always fun! I'll have to read the book.
xo,

Oh dear, I'm glad I wasn't anywhere near you today. I didn't wear green and I don't want you to pinch me either. Heehee This was a really cute post, Ricki Jill. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
