Put some green candy into a little baggie and attach the following poem. Seeds of Leprechaun Spirit We all like to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day To feast on cabbage, potatoes, green beer To help the non-Irish be 'o' green for a day We have "seeds of Leprechaun Spirit" right here You don't need to plant them, but eat them you may And the magic will soon be quite clear You'll share the joy of the Irish on St. Paddy's Day And luck be with you the rest of the year!

I found the tax shelter in this posting when searching for a gift for my brother. He is a tax preparer and has everything. So I just had to share what I did for him. I took one of those woodcraft houses from Walmart- removed the two screws from the base. I cut a 1" block of wood that fit into the bottom of the house. I glued this block onto the base thus allowing the top of the house to be easily lifted off the base. I cut a 1/2" groove in the center of the block with the table saw so I could set a card of thumb tacks into it. This was hidden in the house until the top was lifted off. I wrote a poem for this & read it to him while my daughter did a Vanna White presentation of the house. Everyone got a good laugh out of this and I finally did a complete craft project! It's been a while. Hope you have as much fun with this as we did. Here's the poem: I drew your name for Christmas It's an honor, don't you know To get my brothers name for Christmas Ah! ashopping I will go. But then I started frettin After searching high and low Whatever will I get 'im (Twas wrong to worry so!) I went into an office shop Maybe something for your desk? I talked to the clerk a lot She tried to aid me in my quest. He could use a tax shelter Is what the lady said It seemed a bit off-kelter But there was nothing left instead. So here's your little shelter All painted so very nice The foundation has been mended The roofs' been polished thrice. The flowers are all blooming In the big pot by the door The bumblebees are buzzing And there's no sawdust on the floor. It seems to be the perfect place I do agree she's right It sure beats a plain old case And your tacks! They're finally safe at night!

lol - been making the etched redneck wine glasses for two years - I add the etching with my sand blaster and was told a real redneck doesn't drink wine so I have "Redneck Wine Glass" and "Redneck Beer Glass" - the best seller is "Ol' Fart Sippy Cup". When I first started making these, I did the Hillbilly glasses too - evidently Californians are offended by the name HillBilly - had to discontinue them... lol Forgot to mention the Red Solo Cups that I glue on the candlestick holders, They are selling like hotcakes!
