Update on the Leprechaun Catcher/trap/thingy: I know a little bit about fae (fairies, elves, brownies, etc.) lore and I learned that while most fae are relatively benign, a person definitely does NOT want to irk their ire. Leprechauns being tricksters, neither good nor evil, love to have a reason to annoy humans. But they will also help those in need. At no time, ever, does a person want to catch a Leprechaun to get wishes granted! They will be twisted and work against you. And if you catch a Leprechaun in order to get gold, well... don't. Just don't. Leprechauns can and will make your life miserable and always get their gold back. However, if you are in need of new shoes/shoe repair (or small help around the house) and you leave a piece of gold, or a bowl of milk out, the leprechaun will mend your shoes or fix what's broken as payment for your kindness. So with that in mind, I filled doll's shoes with "gold", set them over the trap, but cut a door in the back and placed a letter inside telling the Leprechaun we mean him no harm and wish only the best for him/herself.π¦πβ #saintpatricksday #leprechaun #leprechauntrap #gold #thethingsidoformykid #shamrock #catholic #irish #wearingofthegreen #nosnakesplease #fairy
#tbt Two things have not changed since I was a kid: my undying love for my BFF @lza_plays and my fascination for bugs. Both make me exceedingly happy. π€ #tbt #bffgoals #bff #insect #80sfashion #imsoold #bangs #youllneverbeashappyasme #withabugonaleaf
I stopped by @dunkindonut with the intention of just getting a snack and drink and ended up buying a half dozen donuts (mint brownie!!!!π) a dozen Munchkins (two of each flavor) a coffee cake muffin, frozen Dunkacino, and two bagels for the next couple days' breakfast. #dunkindonuts #coffeetime #coffeeislife #coffeegoals #donuts #muffins #bagels #dontjudgelovetheDunkin

Happy May 1st! I've gotten a couple more #bulletjournal #weeklylayouts done for the month of #May and I'm showing a recap of what I've done so far. I continued the #rainbowtheme I had started in April. Seeing such bright colors makes me smile every time I open my #bujo to update my info and review what needs to be done.π¦β€π For the 3rd week of May, I decided on a bright paisley print that I painted with #watercolorpencils, then I covered it in #vellumpaper, drew my latout, and edged the borders with strips of silver #washitape π The 4th week of May features a very special piece that Leocadia painted just for my #bujo π She saw that I was using #rainbowcolors and painted a background with her prettiest colors.π I had her help me overlay the background with vellum paper and drew the layout. Then she picked out her favorite #washi for borders and accents. We are qyite a creative team! I think this will be my favorite spread for quite some time! #proudmommy #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #rainbows #bujobuddies #happyplace #happybujo #bujorainbow
To give you all an idea of tge scale of this dollhouse kitchen, Leocadia is sitting in it and still has room to move! She's very glad I'm adding more shelving "so the dolls can have more food!"π #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #ourgenerationdolls #mladolls #makerdreamerdoer #agdiy
