Chinese New Year is one of “THE” biggest and most important holidays in China. It is a time of “family” and friendships. This year I had the honour of starting my celebration on February 10, with CDAA members.

The Pig Contest brought out the designer in everyone. Behold the Fashion Finale:15 Pig Starlets .. each one of them unique. Everyone made up an Artist Trading Card and addressed & decorated ATC envelopes, to exchange happy greetings with the CDAA friends participating Long Distance.

Everyone got into the spirit of things. Saturday the challenge was to prepare a pig for a beauty pageant. (We are entering the year of the Pig. In the Chinese lunar calendar the Pig is the last animal of the 12-year cycle. Next year we begin again with the year of the Rat) - Dymoon
