They were the strangest shape I'd ever seen and, trust me, he never heard the end of it! Even my son laughed so much over their shape. I turned the peach stamp upside down to mimic that shape. Anyway, both my husband and son did not think my card featured clementines, which are one of the luckiest fruits to eat at Chinese New Year. My son thought they were apricots and my husband thought they were pears and asked why they were orange and short.

I'd like to introduce you to the <a href="https://lunarnewyearchallenge.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><b>Lunar New Year Challenge</b></a> which I decided to create. The Year of the Dragon begins on February 10, 2024. Anyone born through February 9th is still a bunny but that's only this year! The Chinese calendar changes every year so you may want to Google your full birth date to confirm, especially if you were born in the first two months of the year. I celebrated a friend's birthday last week and she had always thought she was a horse but she's actually a snake! It was quite the revelation and her whole personality makes more sense now.
