hangover: noun

something (as a surviving custom) that remains from what is past
or
  disagreeable physical effects following heavy consumption of alcohol or the use of drugs

Well, my card might be viewed as totally mad since I am currently making St. Patrick's Day cards in January!( for the Art MoB ) lol For some, this is craziness, but if you submit to magazines then you're currently making cards for publication in AUGUST so making cards for March almost seems behind the times! HA!
 
And I have found out that my cards with a twist seem to fly out the proverbial door, so I am trying to give my St. Paddy cards a wry sense of humor.

Happy New Year WOYWW'ers
 
I wish I could say I was starting out my New Year with a clean organized work space but it's not true. It's as messy and unorganized as it was in 2012, lol But like I mentioned above I am in a St. Patricks' frenzy! I'd like to have 20 cards ready to be put out on Feb. 15th. ( if you can see them, I only have 5 made so far, plus the one on the desk = 6! )Yep, gotta be ready to change out those holiday cards ASAP. So here is my desk in all it's green madness!


If you notice, I don't have much in the way of St. Patricks' Day items, I never sent out Irish cards before so if I hadn't won the Reminisce contest eons ago I wouldn't have any blarney stash!

    Lol, that sentiment is fab, made me hoot! It's refreshing to make non festive items isn't it? I'm making a tea cosy cover for a friend today, going to see how many scraps I can use up!
    Happy new year, LLJ 31 xxxx

    What a hive of St Paddy's Day activity and you need to be done by my birthday too! I used to live in Dubin btw, and I also used to make Irish Coffees in my parents' restaurant, great at getting the cream to float (cheat and use whipped cream and spoon it on - works a treat!) Happy New Year BJ#27

    It's funny but St Patrcik's Day passes almost unnoticed in England. Love your card and your busy desk, too. Happy Wednesday and Happy New Year, too.

    Your desk looks great: tidy enough to work in but not so tidy it's scary! My desk is scary tidy at the moment and it will soon deteriorate into a total slum. Your desk is honest and fun, and I love the St Patrick's day card.

    Happy WOYWW,

    Never mind St Patrick and Valentine's, I am more worried about this month's birthdays, and some DT work to be done urgently. Panic already this year. I love that St Patrick one though. Have a Happy New Year. xx Maggie #45
