I know these are about a month too late but I wanted to post them anyway. I love recipes! They'll be on file for next year. Enjoy!

"Even if you can’t catch a leprechaun this March 17, you can still make one (along with many other crafts and treats) to celebrate the greenest holiday of all – St. Patrick’s Day!  Celebrate at home – or in the classroom – with Disney FamilyFun magazine’s mischievous ideas – and you’re sure to ‘strike gold!’"
