Happy (belated) Chinese New Year!

Posted on | January 27, 2009 | 8 Comments |

Wow! I am a bad person. I totally forgot!! I think the only Chinese thing in me is the fact that I LOVE Chinese food. I think it was my great-great-great grandparents (although I wouldn’t be surprised if there needs to be another “great” added on to the above) who left China and being Indonesian-Chinese during colonial time in Indonesia my family’s more Dutch than Chinese. But, even so, we’ve always celebrated Chinese new year. In the U.S. I am far from any relative. The closest is in Chicago and we’ve never met but we love to email each other and hope to one day meet up. So my Chinese-ness has gone south. Either way, Gong Xi Fat Chai!

I have nothing Chinese new year to share today. Just a sassy page of Miss. M. I created this page based on the Creative Type’s challenge for this week: Retro. Check it out, submit something, a page/card/anything, with them to win an awesome prize. For this page, I used a kit by Jofia (currently at Shabby Pickle). I haven’t used her work in a while.

To get your started, I have a few links to share, free Retro fonts/clip-art:

Have a great one!
