Throwback: Holiday Greeting 2005

So, any of you who know me, know that I send out (and agonize over) an annual Xmas season greeting. This was the first one that I recall sending out to clients, colleagues and friends/family. It was super fun concocting fancy dress decor for the little gingies. It was ten years ago, but I think it still holds up! Even now, I still love coming up with a concept and basically being my own client for a moment each year. What I hope is that everyone who receives it also enjoys the moment and that you all feel the love that comes along with this little annual seasonal ‘gift’.
