day four...

so, i have two blogs - one for my creative outlet, and another for family and friends to have a peek into our lives - and sometimes i share a little craft or two i've been working on with my family and i don't realize i haven't shared it here! so here's one of them as the freebie for today:


there's a lot of 'subway' art out there, but i still thought i'd have a try making one of my own. i love playing around with the different fonts making some words more prevalent than the others. again, if you're having difficulties saving a good quality image, don't hesitate to email me, and i'll send you the file. to go along with it, i had shared some irish trivia with my family...

Eire is the name of Ireland in Gaelic - the Irish native tongue.

A Shillelagh (pronounced she-LAY-lee) is a club and/or walking stick (usually) made of very dense, knotted wood. Many people have smaller, ornamental shillelaghs in their home to display.



Éirinn go Brách (or usually seen as "Erin go Bragh") is an Irish phrase most commonly translated as "Ireland Forever"; it's used to express one's allegiance to Ireland.

The Blarney Stone is a special stone in a castle in ireland which if one kisses (in the correct lying down, upside down posture) they are said to be blessed with the 'gift of the gab' or are better able to articulate their words...

i hope this has been an informative little blog for the day, and i hope you have a wonderful st. patrick's day!

also, don't forget to come back tomorrow. the giveaway will be awesome. you're ALL going to want this beauty i have!... :)
