Every year on St. Patrick’s Day, my dear friend gives each of my children a card with a $2 bill.
The tradition began when she was a child, when her own neighbor gave her a $2 bill each year on St. Patrick’s day.
He told her a $2 bill was lucky.
My kids sure think so. They’ve saved every bill she’s given them… a little stack of lucky bills in their piggy banks.
The tradition is so delightful, I’ve created a little printable card just for you. Simply print it out on smooth white card stock. (Or white paper and mount it to card stock.)
In case you are wondering where to find one, most banks have $2 bills upon request… but if you can’t lay your hands on one, make it do and give 2 – $1 bills instead.
I’ve tied a $2 bill up with ribbon in a bow and attached it to my card with a glue dot. If you want to get really fancy and have a little time on your hands, here is a link to fold your bill into a shamrock that I found on Craft. How cool is that?

Wishing you all
a very lucky day!
Very cute idea!

What an adorable idea… love St. Paddy’s Day!
thanks, just in time! I just happen to have the stash of $2 my grandma used to send me every Easter.
That is too cute, great idea. Thanks for sharing it.
Love this idea. Many thanks for sharing :)
Super cute!! I can’t wait to pin it. This might be cheaper than buying “store bought” treats to take to my daughter’s daycare class. I found your link on I heart naptime with Chocolate Sundaes.
Just made your Harvest Soup this noon; delicious! I am caring for my 98-year-old mother who fractured her hip 2 months ago and is now wheelchair-bound while attempting rehab exercises to strengthen her worn out muscles. I needed “comfort” food today, so thanks for your soup and your blog about being thankful for the little things we tend to overlook.
