On Saturday, Mach 26th, we hosted our
ALL HOLIDAY PARTY no. 2!
It was soooooo much fun!!!!
It was soooooo much fun!!!!
Basically, the way this developed was after a New Year’s Eve party, I was a bit bummed that it would be a while before the next “holiday” soooo, I figured why wait! Why not see what happens when we combine them ALL into one night 🙂 just picture the possibilities…
The details are simple: *pick ANY holiday you want… commit to it… dress for it… BE your holiday!

Here’s the orginal doodle I created prior to the first party!
This year, I decided to finally create my own cupcake toppers (which I’ve been wanting to try for a while now)! I used the wonderful Wacom Intuos4 Large Pen Tablet
to draw the pictures, and this little device is quickly becoming my NEW best friend!
