    Very cute. You guys are beautiful, and you look quite happy. Of course you’re also wearing short sleeves, and I’m just a little bit jealous right now. ;)

    I love that leprechaun! And I think that setting up an Etsy shop is a really fantastic idea.

    You need a Bloggingest Blogger Award! You post so often! I do love your posts though! You are so creative and inspiring. That turtle and leprechaun are especially outrageous. I love them.

    Btw, we painted some treasure last night and are ready for a treasure hunt one of these days coming up….

    And in response to your response.. I don’t know how many times I’ve said, “What do I look like, a trash can?” Of course I’m always happy to hold their treasures though. :)

    We haven’t made a batch of homemade clay/dough in a while. My little Snails, of course, love the snail! They said they want to make animals, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
