Phineas and Ferb Cake

My son loves everything Phineas and Pherb - we spotted these cakes and thought they were just great. We will make an attempt at making these ourselves.

If you don't know who Phineas and Pherb are, I included clip art of them, so you can see the likeness!

The great computer crash

It has been over a week since I have had my computer - my hard drive crashed and what a bummer. I have to reinstall all of my programs - I mean really, this is just horrible. I have not been able to do much crafting, so it might be a few days until I can post any new crafting creations. I am looking forward to getting everything up and going again.

Cupcake stands

Oh my, these are really cute and even something you could get your kids to help you make - maybe a rainy day project. Doesn't a cupcake look soooo much better on this cute little stand??!!

I loved this idea so much and thought it was just incredibly creative. I know several people who can't eat sweets they would just love one of these fruit greetings. Print your own at home- the free printable is here...Check them all out (orange, pear, apple and more)! I know this is a "valentines" idea, but thought it would be cute for any day!

Who is St. Patrick?

Who is St. Patrick?

People all over the world celebrate on the 17th day of March in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Some cities have parades, most revelers wear green, and a few families commemorate the day with traditional Irish fare for their meal. However, not everyone may know who St. Patrick is.
Born in Britain during the 4th century, St. Patrick was kidnapped and enslaved by Irish raiders when he was a teenager. Although he was able to escape after six years and become a priest in Britain, he later chose to return to Ireland as a missionary, in order to help spread the teachings of Christianity to pagans. According to Irish folklore, he also used a shamrock to explain the Christian concept of Trinity to the Irish. In spite of continuous opposition from pagan leaders, he continued to evangelize for thirty years while baptizing newly converted Christians and establishing monasteries, churches, and schools. He died on March 17th and was canonized by the local church.

St. Patrick's Day was first publicly celebrated in Boston in 1737 where a large population of Irish immigrants resided. Nearly 200 years later, the first St. Patrick's Day parade in the Irish Free State was held in Dublin in 1931. During the mid 90's, the Irish government also began a campaign to promote tourism in Ireland on March 17th.

While many Catholics still quietly celebrate this day of religious observance by going to mass, St. Patrick's Day slowly evolved to become a celebration of Irish heritage. Through the years, along with legendary shamrocks, many symbols were included in festivities that are reflective of Ireland's folklore, culture, and national identity (think leprechauns, ethnic cuisine, and wearing green).Other places that join in on this celebration include Japan, New Zealand, Argentina, and Canada, along with many cities across the United States.
