Happy March Kinsters!!!

 

Do you have any idea how many things there are to celebrate in March?!?  Oh my gosh!  There is Easter and the Vernal Equinox of Spring!  It is the month of International Women’s History and the National Recognition of American Irish Heritage!  St. Patrick’s Day, Quilter’s Day, Earth Day and who could forget…Learn about Butterflies Day?  *bounces*  Be sure to mark the calendar too…for the Second Week of this month is National Crochet week and the third week…American Chocolate Week!!!  Holy Moly!!   The Kin will be on a party and celebration whirl all month!!!  LOL!

 

First off….we’ll be celebrating National Crafter’s Month with a Craft Exchange!!!

 

Sign up to participate will be from the first through next Saturday, March 8th!!  This exchange is really FUN and a great way to share all of our talents together!!  We have cross stitchers, photographers, beaders and crocheter’s!  We have cooks,  knitters, quillers and scrapbookers!  We have writer’s, artist’s, jewlers and wood workers!  *grins*  With all this talent..how could we not celebrate!  And for those of you who dare to tell me you are not creative..*a Twinnie look*  I won’t believe you!  Check out the Sign up thread for more details!!!

 

Second..we are celebrating Irish Days!

 

In 1995 the United States Congress declared March the National month to celebrate our Irish/American heritage!!  *grins*  In the Kin..our Elegant Eldest is our Irish lassie and has declared March OUR month to “Be Green”!!!    One of our activites will celebrate the silver tongue of the Irish story tellers!  Every Sash will have a  three word story game to participate in!  At the end of the month..your stories will be posted..and we’ll take a vote on who’s is the best!!   Which Sash will win the pot of golden points?  *grins*

 

AND...our Kinster, Tay, will be testing your knowledge of Ireland and St. Patrick's Day with a quiz to tease your brain!!!  Don't miss this one folks!!

 

Do you have any ideas of how to celebrate Irish Days?  Skip on over to the Farm and share your ideas with your fellow Kinsters..then keep on the look out for more ways  we’ll be bringing out the Leprechan in all of us!!!
