Today is the third Wednesday of the month and this is my Ready, Set, Go Challenge Card! The 3 Musketeers--Kelly, Jeanette and me--are back with another challenge for March-our 35th month! That means we are coming to the end our third year--YAY!
I provided the challenge for March: We post on the 18th of March, the day after St.
Patrick’s Day. You have been tasked to make a card or project using green
someplace.. You also need to do some research and showcase
something Irish, other than a shamrock. It can be another symbol, a food,
area of Ireland, a celebration or tradition, etc. Anything to
do with Ireland and the Irish people.
Ready? Set? Go!
I was not sure when I provided this challenge what my plan would be. As I got closer to today, I decided to highlight an upcoming trip to Ireland! Or, I am hoping it still is happening..................... A few months ago we decided to do a walking trip in Ireland on the Dingle Peninsula. Rebecca's niece did this same walk a few years ago and we booked it for September. We are planning to meet my cousin and her hubby in Dublin a few days before the hike and then travel to Camp to start the 8 day walk. We will walk between 4-6 miles a day and stay each night in a B&B along the way--Camp is the name of the town, not what we are doing........ We will have about another week to explore Ireland. I am not sure at this time how long my cousins will be with us. I am so excited to do this trip and it better happen! A map of the area is below
So, I thought I would make a card that describes out trip. From the hiking boots, to the sentiment with the Adventure of a Lifetime, I am dreaming of our trip to Ireland. I think I met the challenge!
Here is the inside of my card:
