Congrats Jayne on your special feature on the "Out Of The Ordinary 1 A Day" group homepage! Would love to know what those Asian symbols or letters mean btw! f/l
Jayne Somogy replied:
Thank you, Leanne. When I did my research for the Chinese characters, I forgot to write down the meanings for these 3 characters, so I went back & found their meanings. As best as I can determine, the bottom character means longevity & the middle character means pray. I apparently "messed up" with the top character because it's HALF of the character that means dragon--there should be an additional character to the left of the one I have to make the whole meaning. And thanks for the F/L.

CONGRATULATIONS Jayne! I have chosen this excellent unique and creative image to be "SHOWCASED" at the top of the Home Page in the "Out Of The Ordinary 1 A Day" group! L/F/Pin 2/6/18 - 2/20/18

Wow, Lyric--I am truly honored! Thank you so much! I made this (along with my other 3 "Asian Icons") to hang in a grouping in my own house above my treasured 30-year-old Korean cabinet, and I love the way they look there.
