Rats
I really used to take Chinese New Year for granted when I was younger. My family would have all manner of activities and festivities to ring in the New Year. It seems like we celebrated for an entire month. Since I moved away from them a few years ago I’ve really started to miss and appreciate all the fun and lively decorations and customs we had. This year I’m trying to do make sure I carry on some of the traditions of Chinese New Year and also make some New Year’s crafts. Since 2008 is the Year of the Rat I designed some mouse paper tonight:
so I could make some very simple paper lanterns with them:

They kind of turned out looking like aliens, but they were fun
Happy New Year!
