Lunar New Year Craft Party at Magpie Collective in KCMO
Join the Kansas City chapter of the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP) this Lunar New Year for a creative afternoon of celebration and community at Magpie Creative Reuse. We’re ushering in the Year of the Horse by giving old materials new life through hands-on crafting!
Shedding from Year of the Snake to Year of the Horse
Kansas City, Lunar New Year is coming up!!! We’re moving from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Horse. What are we “shedding” from this past year? It can be physical clutter but it can also be mental and emotional burdens!
As we transition into the Year of the Horse, many families in Kansas City are looking for a fresh start. Shedding the old isn't just a metaphor; it’s about clearing physical space in our KC homes.
On Gift Giving (and Receiving)
“The true purpose of a present is to be received. Presents are not ‘things’ but a means for conveying someone’s feelings. When viewed from this perspective, you don’t need to feel guilty for parting with a gift. Just thank it for the joy it gave you when you first received it.”
2026 Vision Board Workshop at Magpie Collective in KCMO
Join Magpie Creative Reuse for a guided experience led by Kim Shiu of Tidy for Good to map out a 2026 vision board. This isn’t traditional goal-setting. It’s a warm, intentional way to reconnect with yourself and create a year grounded in meaning and joy. You'll leave with a vision board that supports you throughout the year ahead.
Tidying as Self-Care
Self-care doesn't have to be spooky! Tidying and organizing aren't just about creating a visually appealing space. I view them as powerful acts of self-care that can lead to a calmer mind and a more peaceful existence.

Thinking about Skelly makes me wonder how people store him in his off season, so I wanted to write a little Guide to Organizing Your Seasonal Decor.
