It’s that time again~Ornament Thursday is here. This month’s project was inspired by some little four leaf clover and plastic disc charms I found in Hong Kong. Lucky is the theme. Luck. Get Lucky. Lucky Charms. Good Luck. Just My Luck. Bad Luck. Luck Be A Lady. Wish Me Luck. …For Good Luck (i.e. a Rabbit’s Foot). Lucky Duck. Did I miss one? Leave a comment. I’ve always thought of myself as lucky. I know studies have been done on people who think they’re lucky vs. not. Who knows?!? I’m also superstitious.
I took a crafty break today and whipped up these earrings. Yes, I said a crafty break from crafting. I decoupaged the top layer of the printed napkin to the back with Mod Podge. Wahhooooo! I loved the texture that came through. Lucky I found that cool napkin in my paper stash!
I recommend renting Darby O’Gill and the Little People to watch while you make your earrings. Although, I warn you that song they sing will be in your head for the rest of your life.
To celebrate St. Patty’s I propose we do a Lucky Charms give-away. Ok? Good. Leave a comment by Monday, March 3rd @ Noon EST. Here’s the charms you’ll win…BE Lucky!

Found you through Melissa at Strands of Beads, whom I love to read. Awesome ear-rings and who can’t use a little luck these days?
Just stumbled across your blog…what luck! Love the charms… those little earrings are more plucky than lucky but who knows? I will be back to read more! Thanks for the inspiration. Where can I get fun stuff like that if I don’t live where you live?

You find the greatest stuff!! Love the earrings. The Spring issue should be in the office tomorrow (I hope). e-me at the office so I know where to send yours!
Hmm, how about lucky phrases that don’t mention luck, like “Break a leg”? And don’t you say “blue skies” to pilots? Anyway, I love the earrings! I’m a big Mod Podge fan, myself…

Thanks for reminding me that I feel truly lucky…I needed it today, as I am losing my job and I have a job interview.
The earrings are lovely.
