Craft – Lepre-CUTIES :-)

Every holiday that comes around I always try to find some way to turn the Happy Buddy into something that represents that month.  For example, last month I turned the Happy Buddy into a bee for Valentine’s Day.

It only seemed natural in the month of March to turn the Happy Buddy into a…

LEPRECHAUN!

Pause.

Savor the cuteness of this little Lepre-cutie. 🙂

This craft couldn’t be more easy.

It’s just a painted paper plate and some construction paper.

I followed the directions from HERE.

Only instead of making a regular leprechaun face, I printed out an 8×10 head-shot of the Happy Buddy (the pic I used was when he was 6 months old in case you are confused by how young he looks.  It happened to be a very elf-like picture of him), cut it out, and pasted it on.

What a perfect gift for the grandparents!

Or make one for each of your Happy Buddies and hang them on their bedroom doors on St. Patrick’s Day – what a fun surprise. 🙂

Happy Lepre-cutie-ing! 🙂

Sharing is caring!

I like to make people happy.✨ Author of #thekindnessantennae 🎉 💛Psalm 28:7💛
  • Everyone brings something for the baby… but don’t forget about the mama! 🤍

Someone made me an “after-birth basket” when I had my last baby, and I still remember how loved and cared for it made me feel. So now I love doing the same for other new mamas. 🥹

A few favorite snacks, a magazine, a cute hair clip, pads for postpartum bleeding + nursing, lip oil, a fun drink… just little things to make those first days at home a tiny bit more comfortable.

But my FAVORITE part? 🥹 A printed and framed photo of their brand-new family with the new baby. 🤍

Because in a season when so much attention (rightfully!) goes to that precious new little one, sometimes mama needs a little reminder:

We see you, too. We’re celebrating you, too! Here are some diapers for you, too. 😂

Such a simple gift. Such a sweet way to love on a new mom! 🩷🩵🩷

  • The Queen was welcomed to Heaven today. ❤️‍🩹

There are no words to adequately express what earth lost this morning. She was selfless, loving, kind, fun, glamorous, hard-working, positive, faithful, and so strong - right up to the end. 🤍

I grieve not being able to hear the sound of delight in her voice when we talked. She always called me her little Songbird. Her laugh was like tinkling bells. She taught me so much about loving God and loving others and living in quiet, faithful excellence for His glory. 🙌🏻

I’m just so thankful that her legacy lives on in my own mom and her 5 siblings and their families! Truly one of a kind people, living for God, faithfully and in His strength, day in and day out. 💛

Mom-Mom! I love you so much. I will miss you so much. I can’t wait to see you again. 🕊️

  • 🌴 I love palm trees. 🌴 

They don’t break in storms - they bend *with* the storm. ⛈️ (John 16:33)

They stay green all year round. 💚 (Psalm 92:14)

They grow best when it’s hot. ☀️ (Jeremiah 17:8)

They produce good fruit to be a blessing to others. 🥥 (Galatians 5:22-23)

They point straight up to heaven, reminding us of the goal. ⬆️ (Philippians 3:20)

Their branches are symbolic of victory. 🌿 (John 12, Revelation 7)

Go and be like a palm tree today! 🏝️🙌🏻🤩
