    Default It's time for St. Patricks Day and I just found out I'm IRISH!
    Last year, I had a DNA test done through ancestry.com and found out I'm 39% Irish. That was news to me since my mom was a WWII war bride from Manchester, England and my research looks like we go back in that location for a substantial period of time. So, it looks like I need to celebrate St. Paddy's Day. I wanted to celebrate the real St. Patrick, so I found a quote of his and made this wall hanging. I hope it encourages you to make something green!

    Love your wallhanging.
    I've been thinking about doing that Ancestry.com DNA thing. What more did you learn?

    Love your wallhanging! I was born in Des Moines and raised in Urbandale. After I married we moved to Milo, but we attended Church in Indianola. Back then it was a small town ( mid 70's) and I loved it!!

    Cute wall hanging! I have thought it would be fascinating to see what my DNA is hiding as well.
