St Patrick’s Day FUN!

At Dancing Deer, we love our holidays. We get to bake decorative cookies for the season and we always make time for a celebration in the bakery with all the Deer. St Patrick’s Day is next on the calendar – and you know what they say, “Everyone’s Irish on St Patrick’s Day!” So, send some Lucky Clover Cookies to all of your IRISH friends and if you enjoy arts and crafts, click here to learn how to make an Origami 4-leaf clover (don’t worry, I tried it myself to rate the difficulty – I give it a rating of easy to medium difficulty level)
A Different League
Posted by Julie on 02/19 | Permalink | Email this entry |
Next week, I will continue to watch the best athletes in the world compete in a variety of competitions. As I watched each competition this past week, I marveled at how the new athletes continue to raise the bar and level of competition over previous world records and often, their own personal accomplishments. I am amazed because daily, they achieve athletic feats that I could only dream of, but even the commentators – many of whom have medaled in that same sport – remark that the top competitors this Olympics are just in a different league. Shaun White soared 25 feet in the air above the Snowboarder’s halfpipe (it looked more like 40 feet!)…Lindsey Vonn won gold in downhill skiing after bruising her shin weeks ago…figure skater Evan Lysacek’s free skate was considered by judges to be “technically perfect”...
Since all of us Deer are amazed by the Olympic athletes, we decided to celebrate Team USA Spirit with our Olympic giveaway.
