Slowing Down and Chinese Lantern Festival

Hello, hello, my sweet peeps!

Are you all ready for Valentine's Day?

I mean, good golly, we're barely taking down Christmas and already the stores are jamming Valentine's down our throat!

Do you feel the same way?

I feel like the world is generally in a rush. I have decided this year to dance to the beat of my own drum :)

Take it easy and enjoy every moment of your life.

With that said, my boys and I took a little trip last Saturday, braving the cold weather, and got to see some awesomeness.

The Chinese Lantern Festival was in town and boy what a treat!

Check out these pictures (which don't do the lanterns justice) You have to see it in person.

I don't know if they "travel" around but if they do check them out. And sorry to have to do this, but I never heard back from the first winner of the Pick Your Plum $75 giveaway so I had to use random.org to draw another number-and the lucky number is comment #13!

I will contact you shortly to get your info so you can get your
swanky gift!

And in the meantime, my dear friends, stay warm, or cool if you live in a tropical climate.
I am still trying to get my strength up so I can post some crafty goodness for y'all.

Until next time :)
Patty
