To all those who have lived in Rochester, NY and to all those who have passed through, I'm really hoping you can recognize the "Genesee Cream Ale" pin: ~ a former employer mainstay! Not only am I Irish through and through, but I'm also a very proud native Rochesterian! Thus, there's no way I could resist putting this miniature beer can pin on my card. Please don't take offense anyone!
I engaged my DH with this one ~ I aksed if he could rummage through all the junk he's managed to collect for the past 81.7 years, and this is what he came up: a leprechaun and an Irish shamrock.
Thanks for looking, everyone!

Anne, this is too perfect for this challenge. Love the Leprechaun, the Shamrock and of course how could you have an Irish card without the beer and a toast to your DH for finding all of this wonderful memorabilia. This really rocks.
