It is the Year of the Dragon, according to Chinese culture who celebrates their new year on the 2nd new moon after the Winter Solstice.  We celebrate the Gregorian new year like most Americans.  We also celebrate a sort-of new year on your birthday.  But I like how the Chinese celebrate the new year.  It is usually a two-week celebration and family reunion.  If only we could have a two-week hiatus from work to hang with family and friends for two weeks.

For this new year, I have moved my site over to a hosting company and changed blogging platforms.  I have been roaming the art sites as of late and it seems most use WordPress as their blogging program.  I have some experience with WordPress and this blogging application comes with my hosting package, so I decided to make the change.  For all of you, you should not see much difference except I have a new website address (actually it is an old address but that is a long story).

I hope to excite you with all of the artsy goals that I have for myself this year.  I am currently participating in two art workshops and should be blogging about those later this week.  I plan on participating on many, many workshops this year to work on the art-side of my journaling.  I will keep you up-to-date on my progress.

Until then, have a wonderful New Year!
