Beetles and Bugs on Blue

Five Little Ladybugs
Five little ladybugs climbing up a door
One flew away then there were four
Four little ladybugs sitting on a tree
One flew away then there were three
Three Little Ladybugs landed on a shoe
One flew away and then there were two
Two little ladybugs looking for some fun
One flew away and then there was one
One little ladybug sitting in the sun
She flew away and then there were none
May your journey bring you everlasting love and joy.

Winnie the Pooh on a Windy Day

Red and Green Ladybugs on Pink Dots

I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you
The gift of life.
Life gave me the gift o fyou.

Cream Fans and Flowers on Deep Red

The fabric we chose is an Asian print that includes flowering branches and flowers on the fans. These flowers appear to be stylized plum blossoms due to the branch form and 5 petals shown on most blossoms. 5 petal flowers are indicative of good luck in China. The flowering plum, in particular, has been a powerful Chinese symbol for over a millennium. Its ability to blossom amid ice and snow has made it a symbol of new beginnings, virtue, and fortitude. May your life share all of these qualities.

Confucius taught the belief in being benevolent (ren) or kind-heartedness.
When asked what "ren" actually meant, Confucius said:
"When you go out, you should behave as if you were in the presence of a distinguished guest. When people do favors for you, act as if a great sacrifice was made for you. Whatever you wouldn't like done to you, do not do that thing to others. Don't complain at work, nor at home."

CHINESE FU PAPER CUTS

Window Flowers
(Beautiful Bird Paper Cut Included)

A traditional country folk art, paper cuts are normally created by women and girls. Made by hand, paper cuts are used as decorations for doors, windows, walls, mirrors and are given as presents.

Fu is one of the most popular Chinese characters used in Chinese New Year. It is often posted upside down on the front door. The upside down fu means 'good luck came' since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for came.

We wish you good luck!

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
