staff holiday party decor (pretty & cheap)
When the kids’ school director asked me to design a little something for their staff holiday event, I couldn’t pass it up. No really, I couldn’t pass it up. They were hoping for a “Winter Wonderland”, but this is Long Beach, California, it isn’t a “winter” kind of town. What did I come up with?...
