Chinese New Year - Craft Time!

Anyone who knows me knows that I *love* arts and crafts. So when I was leaving Singapore, I came across a shop that sold prepackaged kits with supplies to create lanterns out of red envelopes. Of course I couldn't resist and picked up 2 packs to bring home and put together with the family for the New Year.

And of course, I was met with some resistance from my family, but in the end...they enjoyed putting it together and seeing the end product!

I had picked the 2 easiest projects and now looking back, I wish I had bought more!!! Looks like I will be scouring the internet next year to find more for us to do :)
