Free Printable St. Patricks Decor - Irish Blessings

Free printable Irish blessings in 3 colors. Irish blessing have become my favorite way to decorate for this holiday. Do not get me wrong, there are usually a few leprechauns that make their way to shelves too, but there is something about these blessings with their casual inclusion of shamrocks, laughter, and love that capture my heart and signify the history of this holiday. Below I have 3 blessing in 3 different colors 

all are sized to fit in an 8x10 frame.

To print: (do not use the printer friendly button) Click on each photo to expand it, click again to make sure it is fully expanded (some browsers require this) then select file and print from the top of the window, or if using google chrome click on the wrench to print. Also if using google chrome you may need to right click on the photo and open it in a new window to print. If you have any trouble right click on the printable and save it to your desktop and print it from there. Personal use, but it is always ok to share these on blogs and commercial sites with a clear link back to this post and aholidayhaven.com

February 16th is Do a Grouch a Favor Day

Two days after Valentines day is a little unofficial holiday.

What could possibly top Valentines day? 

What could be so important after a day full of love and kindness? 

 But of course, a day to share all of these lovely feelings... with a grouch. 

A fun little holiday to love those who need it the most. 

Some little token, maybe even a smile.

Go on, it may not make the grouch in your world feel any better, but it might just make you smile.

Oh what? Maybe you are the one who is a grouch? Well, there is a holiday for you too and you can see it HERE. 

Happy February 16th! Make today a Holiday. :)
