It’s our fourth week of the Pin Me! Thursdays, and this week Matter of Centsand I choose to go with the theme of Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year kicks off on Monday of next week; this year is the year of the Dragon. I’ve never had a Chinese New Year’s party, but after finding all these great crafts, recipes and party ideas – that may soon change!

Pin It

I shared last week that one of my goals for this year is to get more crafty. So I’ve been spending some time on Pinterest collecting a few of my favorite crafts so I can stock up on supplies. Then as I find some time this month, I can start on them. Here are a few of my favorites. If you have a craft that you’ve made this week, or one on your to-do list for this month, please feel free to link up at the bottom of the post.
