I hope you're enjoying this GREEN (my favorite color) series as much as I loved putting it together. Here I am, wearing my all-worn out Army jacket which finally retired, with Crafty Chica Diva herself, Kate Murillo, at last year's super fun Maker Faire.  Plan to come to this year's crafter/maker's Disneyland.

I have more GREENS but time is limited.  Stay tuned for GREEN 2.

In the meantime, Happy St. Patrick's Day.  Read and learn more about the real St. Patrick.
