When God made the Irish he just sat down and smiled!

May love and laughter light your days
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
Here are a few photographs of home!

Don’t forget Mother’s Day is this Sunday, so why not do something really nice for your mother, grandmother or someone who is like a mother figure to you. The shops are full of gift ideas along with lots of cards, but why not be unique and different and make something yourself, a bit of DIY from the heart. And don’t worry if your not creative you can still make your mother’s day card, all you need is some plain card or paper, pens, colours, glue, photographs or images from old cards or books. Here are a few simple ones I have made in the past.
So why not have a go and see what kind of cards you can make, you can always be more creative than me and add pressed flowers, some sequins, glitter or fabric. Then if you are really innovative you can make a lovely present, this may include some hand picked flowers in a decorated jar, some home made buns, even rice krispie buns nicely decorated if you ain’t a good cook, how about framing a special photograph you have, or making a memory book, make some new cushion covers or visit a charity shop and revamp something old. Have you any good ideas??? If so let me know and hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day

Hello my dear blog friend and followers I had news this week that my Country Heritage Blog has been longlisted in the Best Art and Culture Blog (sponsored by Poetry Ireland) category of the Irish Blog Awards 2010. I don’t know who nominated my blog as it is the blog that I update the least (Thank you whoever you are!) I had never heard of the Irish Blog Awards until about a month ago. I’m very grateful to get longlisted and thanks to all my blog friends which ever of my blogs you visit
