Anyway, I decided to do it again this year, and was actually hoping I could use the same letters but sadly no. The tape was all stuck together and then the paper peeled when I pulled them apart :o( So I made new ones and this time the light bulb turned on and I laminated them with contact paper. Two reasons- First, I won't have to cut them out again (yay!) and Second, the contact paper makes them wipe-able when you use a dry erase marker, we can write a new something on them every day if we want- brilliant! I can use them year after year :O)
I actually do a similar thing in the fall with leaves and you can guarantee I am going to laminate them this year, and I was thinking how cute would it be to make some Easter eggs to remember our blessings at Easter time when we are reflecting on the Savior? I am sure you will see another post about that ;o) But for now here are this years laminated shamrocks...Lucky us.

Great idea! It's always nice to stop and think what we are grateful for. Your new follower #94!
Brilliant! We do similar stuff with fall leaves. Spring is also a great time to incorporate gratitude. Thank you!
I love these shamrocks! Great idea - I normally hang 4 from each window for a little decoration, but I like the idea of the contact paper and writing on them. Thanks for sharing!
What a fun and creative idea! Thanks for linking. :)
I like to do that with autumn leaves, too! And just was inspired this year to laminate them, too. But I love the idea of expanding them to other seasons and holidays! :)
Oh, I like this very much! Great idea!
Such a sweet idea to remind us of how good we have things! And super smart to laminate them! Thanks for sharing.
I am a big believer in counting your blessings. Great idea!

I like your idea and am especially happy to see that this year you have a shamrock and not a four leaf clover. A lot of people may not realize that a shamrock is only three leafs. This is important to the Irish as St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. I really like your blag and all your wonderful ideas. Thank you.
Very cute! I am your newest follower. I'd love for you to come by!
