♥St. Patrick's Day For Less

Ever since I went to Savannah, GA for their St. Patrick's Day festivities, I have LOVED this lucky holiday!  This year, I designed a brand new LOTS OF LUCK party collection and wanted to set up a simple food table for a photo shoot.  However, I didn't want to spend a lot of mulah, so here's how I did it...

I used a white tablecloth I already had, and draped a green & white scarf down the center.  I used my two square Pampered Chef trays and covered them in my printable paper. 

I strung some festive ribbon through my cake stand and dressed up my rainbow cupcakes (from Target) with my toppers and wrappers.

I hung the banner over the table with glue dots.  I found the rainbow pinwheels at Dollar Tree and anchored them in Dollar Tree green pots with floral foam covered with green glass stones.  For some height, I added a plain white box that I already had to perch my colorful candy jar.  

I taped wooden skewers to the back of my moustache & bowtie photo props for an easy photo idea.

I wrapped my water bottles with my water bottle labels and they look brand new.

So, here's a breakdown of how much it cost me to put this table together...

❃ Cupcakes............Target for $3.50

❃ Cookies...............Dollar Tree for $2.00

❃ Candy.................Dollar Tree for $3.00

❃ Green Scarf.........Dollar Tree for $1.00

❃ Green Pots...........Dollar Tree for $2.00

❃ Pinwheels............Dollar Tree for $2.00

❃ TOTAL.......................................$13.50 (Pretty good, right?)

Toddler Tuesday {St. Patrick's Day Unit} **UPDATED

I know I have been offering my printable units for preschoolers as free downloads for a few months now, but they are taking me sooooo long to create that I decided to open up a store on Teachers Pay Teachers.  So, on Sunday, I uploaded my first unit for purchase...perfect for St. Patrick's Day, it is "L is for Luck."

Even though this unit is for purchase only, I wanted to give my wonderful readers a little bonus.  So, for ONE WEEK ONLY, the unit will be 50% off.  The original price is $4.00, but from now until March 1st, you can download it for only $2.00.   


The unit is 22 pages of language arts, math, and art activities that can be done with toddlers through 1st grade.  I designed it with cute St. Patrick's Day graphics from The Graphic Depot.  

To go to my TPT store & purchase this unit, click HERE!  


***UPDATE:  This morning, I was made aware by a sweet reader that TpT has a $3.00 minimum purchase order rule, so I just now listed a fun Leprechaun Hunt activity for $1.00, so you can get two things for $3.00.  It includes 4 shamrock clue cards, 2 pages of directions, and printable gift tags (from Mr. Leprechaun himself).  

Click HERE to purchase my Leprechaun Hunt.  It is $1.00 until March 1st, when it goes up to $2.00.

Fabulous Freebie Friday {St. Patty's Day Printable!}

Well, now that Valentine's Day is over, time to move on to St. Patty's Day!  I know it's not a big decorating holiday, but I like to fill my house with green for one month!  I found the cutest St. Patty's Day subway art freebie this morning at Today's Fabulous Finds!  Just follow the directions on her blog to download your own ~ you have your choice of color combos.

So, thinking about St. Patrick's Day and leprechauns led me to thinking about the CuTeSt movie we took Noah to see last weekend, "Gnomeo and Juliet!"  It has a great story-line, the cutest little gnome-y characters, and awesome music.  It was produced by Elton John, so all the music is really fun!

I saw these adorable little gnome treats at Coffee and Crafts, by way of Fingerprints on the Fridge.  They would make a great snack to have during the movie!

Just to give you a little preview of the music in the movie, here you go...
