Gung Hay Fat Choy!


For those of you unfamiliar, that means Congratulations, and may you be prosperous in the new year. We celebrated Chinese New Year at Dublin Library today. What fun! A room filled with tables covered in red cloths, and colorful dragons everywhere. More than 80 children and adults enjoyed creating their very own dancing dragons. What talented crafters there are in Dublin. My husband, Bob, was amazed when he came back in the room, to see the beautifully designed dragons. We even had a few dragons receive names from their crafters. One very beautiful purple dragon ended up with the name Violet. Many received the name of their designer. Grandmothers, Moms, Dads and Children enjoyed an hour visiting together, creating and showing their beautiful art work to one another. We even had a group of special needs children come enjoy making many very unique, delightful dragons of their own. One that especially caught my eye seemed to be made of candy corns. What imaginations! Everyone including Susan, Monica and myself had a wonderful time.
