Happy Holidays Reader!
I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season this year. I'm writing this newsletter and finishing up a couple admin things in my studio, and then I am officially out of office for the holidays. βπΌβοΈπ My team and I are taking the next couple of weeks off, so you won't hear from me again until the new year. I have some fun ideas for things to keep you busy in the meantime though - keep scrolling for details.
Before I go, I wanted to be sure to say a giant THANK YOU for an amazing year! I've been brainstorming what I want 2026 to look like and lemme tell ya - I'm feeling some exciting changes. For now, you can catch me relaxing with the fam and crossing my fingers and toes that we don't all get another virus over Christmas! π«£
Wishing you all a wonderful and safe holiday season!
-Becca

What I'm Playing With This Week
I think my fav craft creation of the week has got to be this last minute cake topper I put together for my daughter's birthday cake.
I didn't have all my art supplies (they were at my office!) but I scrounged together a piece of yarn, some cute paper, and two skewers to glue gun together this cute bunting.
It turned out adorably!
