St. Patrick’s Day Mantel Fantel

I feel like that headline is over-promising. Too big and bold of a statement for what I’m actually showing you in today’s post …

and, dare I say, perhaps a little click bait-ee.

Though, does St. Patrick’s Day count as a click bait-able topic?

I suppose if I called it my St. Patrick’s Day novel Coronovirus mantel fantel that would have been click bait-ee. 😉

But now that I’m actively practicing hashtag StayHome (#StayHome) I thought I’d give the mantel a little St. Patrick’s Day spruce.

Oh who am I kidding with the #StayHome excuse. I’ve been #StayHome for decades and have been working on socially isolating myself for years …

I kid you not.

Especially once the kids moved from our neighborhood elementary school to high school. That’s when the playground interactions with the other parents abruptly stopped …

and the whole social isolation thing began.

Now, granted, I’ve always been a home body. It’s the Cancer in me.

Lazing about on the couch was a much coveted weekend activity of mine.

And ever since I started working from home after the birth of my son, I’ve fully adopted the #StayHome lifestyle.

When I told my husband that this whole #StayHome and socially isolating thing is a total no-brainer for me, he responded with a sad “awe.”

But no. It’s not sad. Truly.

Again, the Cancer in me loves to #StayHome. And a great weekend for me is when I don’t even drive the car! 🙂

And as for my so-called St. Patrick’s Day mantel fantel, I simply traced a shamrock cookie cutter shape onto gold, glittery paper and cut it out. Then I just attached to a thin wood dowel with tape.

Easy.

And not at all click bait-ee 🙂
