Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone!!
I know it's technically after midnight, but I'm from Washington state and it's only 9:30 there ;)

I hope you've enjoyed this installment over the last week :)
I plan to do something very similar for other holidays (particularly Halloween :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful / safe holiday!
See you soon :)
