I am seeing GREEN!!! Let's Get Ready for St. Patrick's Day!!!

Last Year I hosted my first Pot 'O Gold Breakfast. I had a lot of fun putting it together and hosting. I found most of my ideas, and printables from PINTEREST... They are on my Pinterest St. Patrick's Day Board:

This year I will be hosting a St. Patrick's Day Breakfast again... I am so glad March 17th is on a weekend!!! I have paper goods that I got clearanced last year after St. Patrick's Day and I have been on the hunt already this year for Green Items for the GOODIE Bags!! The Dollar Tree, Target, and Walmart already have some stuff out. The Dollar Tree has a bunch of inexpensive things to throw in the bag like St. Patrick's Day Glow sticks, socks, scarfs, hair bows, and lots more. Target Dollar Spot also has socks, gold coins, and more!!! I am trying to keep away from getting to much green candy this year.

We set a leprechaun trap and were left with a bunch of GREEN GOODIES!!!

Our Trap from 2012...

We did not catch him but this is what he left!!!!

Socks, Headband, Glow Sticks, Pens and Pencils, slap bands, Mike & Ike Candy, and more!!!

I got the St. Patrick's Day Mini Bags at the Christmas Tree Shop, and the goodies from Target Dollar Spot, Dollar Tree, Party City, and Walmart.

Our St. Patrick's Day Pot 'O Gold Breakfast...

I got the printables for the breakfast and a lot of ideas from Pinterest, and then I added my own flare with Green Paper Goods, Green Plastic Wear, Irish Straw Mustaches, and more!!!
