Week 12 - VERNAL EQUINOX
The vernal equinox and the start of Spring is on March 20th.
According to folklore, you can stand a raw egg on its end during the equinox, wonder if that is true.

Week 9 - A BONUS OF TIME
Leap Year, a bonus of an extra day.
A person born on February 29th is called a leapling or a leaper. This year, I am going to a leapling's birthday party -- she will be 12 (in leap years that is).

Week 8 - CARNIVAL
Fat Tuesday, shiny beads, parades, and debauchery all come to mind this week with Mardi Gras just around the corner. Did you know that Mardi Gras has been celebrated since 1699? That's a lot of bling.

Week 7 - OPPOSITES ATTRACT
When deciding on a challenge theme this week one cannot help but think of Valentine's Day. Apparently, it is not all about the kissy, kissy, pass the chocolate.

Year of the Dragon Reveal

I can't tell if the dragon in my life is white (good, caring and sensitive) or silver (bad, small but intelligent) so in this piece they are duking it out.
