Brrrr....It's Cold Outside! Freebie too!

For those of you that do not have to deal with snow and ice...I'M JEALOUS!
The only good thing I can say about it is that it has encouraged me to buckle down and prepare my materials for January and February!  It has been "slow sledding" (get it!?) but I think January plans are in place and now on to February.  Here is a sneak peak for all of you.  Hope your holidays were the best!!

I decided to combine New Year and Chinese New Year so we can make some connections.
Happy New Year..Visit here

 And my freebie for you is a darling story with activities and a craft provided...Paper Lanterns.
