Wearing of the Green


Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone (tomorrow)!  Although my family were all born in Canada, I have always liked to think of myself as Irish because my maternal grandfather was.  I believe my maternal grandmother was Russian (or ?  because she came from a tiny country bordering Russia).  I never met my maternal grandparents as they passed away long before I was born.  I remember trying to learn the Irish jig when I was a child because my Mom's maiden name was McKee and I thought I should know something Irish. 

Hence, the emerald green metallic gel fingernail tips.  Note I also had to photograph my newest acquisition... scrapbook magazines are always talking about chalks and I've never used them.  Walmart's were less than half the price that Michaels wanted.  As usual.  Guess that is why you don't get weekly 40% off coupons from Walmart.  At 40% off, Michaels is still more expensive than other stores.    We have a very nice private scrapbooking store; small, but full of interesting things.  But because they are small, they can't carry all of the supplies that Michaels can.   More competition is needed.

Very cool! And how conveniently they'd hide the dirt! I should have Connor's nails done like that...
