As part of my effort to light a fire under my butt to paint more often, I decided to participate in a 4-day galaxy skies painting challenge that I saw on SkillShare with artist Swathi Ganesha. Click here if you’d like to try a month of SkillShare for free.
Valentine’s Day arrived this year and my youngest son requested basketball-themed valentines for his school party. For the last few years we have strived to send non-food, non-candy, and allergen-free valentines for school parties, in support of my nephew who has a lot of food allergies, and this year was no exception.
Since I married into a Chinese-American family, we celebrate the Lunar New Year with my in-laws every year. Lots of the Chinese traditions revolve around food and what it symbolizes. There are also some superstitions that many who celebrate follow to ensure they will have a healthy and prosperous year.
