Rainbow of Love

St. Patrick's Day is next on the holiday list and although to some considered just another "Hallmark Holiday" I say, who cares? Any excuse to celebrate and have a little fun with my spouse is something I welcome into my life anytime. no. questions. asked.

Life is NO fun without a little bit of cheesiness and juvenile lovey-doveyness. You wouldn't be reading this blog if you didn't agree. You'll be happy to know that today's post is about as cheesy as it gets. So, read on, friends.

A really cute romantic guesture for St. Patty's Day this year would be to create a "Rainbow of Love" for your spouse.

Here's how to create yours:
1. Cut out hearts from various colors of paper to create your rainbow. (If you aren't good at free-handing a heart, use the heart shape tool on Microsoft Word, print it out, and use it as a stencil.)
2. For an easy & cheap "pot of gold", just purchase a terracotta pot and paint it black with acrylic paint.
3. Fill your pot with Rolos--if you don't have enough to fill it to the top, stuff a bag or tissue paper in the bottom of the pot and then put in your rolos. You want the gold to be "overflowing".
4. Slide your "Lucky" love note in between the rolos and leave in an obvious place for your spouse to find on St. Patricks' Day.


There are more St. Patrick's Day ideas coming your way...stay tuned!
