Holiday Movie Moment - Ornament Parties

Holiday Movie Moment - Ornament Parties

We are really excited to announce our new Christmas Tradition at the store we are starting this year! Ornaments were a HUGE part of our childhood, with my Grandma (my dad's mom) giving an ornament to everyone every year. My mom and dad did the same for us when they started their family, and we did it for our kids when we became parents. 

I clearly remember my first Christmas as a parent. I had a grey Rubbermaid tote that my mom had sent along to me when I got my first apartment at my first duty station stateside. It was filled with ornaments I had been given, or had made, since I was born. I opened up that tote and was immediately hit with all the holiday sentimental feelings, as if I was in a Hallmark movie.

I remember looking through and finding ones I had made when I was 5 or 6 years old, the one that we had picked out at the mall kiosk when I was 13 but thought I was too old for that kind of thing... But the ones I remembered the most, were the ones I didn't have anymore... I remember the one I made my mom at the Color Me Mine Pottery thing when I was 16, and other ones I had made and given to my family. 

So this year... I wanted to share the Holiday Movie Moment with all of you. This Ornament Party is designed by a mom, for other parents or loved ones in a child's life. You will get two ornaments, one you can make, or the little you love can make, or work together on both of them. You get to keep one, and the little gets one to keep, that way, when you pass on the ornaments...you always have one to remember the moment too. 

The classes are very easy, we give you everything you need to make the ornaments, have adults to support, and send you home with plenty of footage and video to remember the moment! 

  • Included: Per Adult and Child
    • 2 ornaments
    • 3-5 professional photos edited and emailed within 48 hours. 
    • 3-5 photos taken via cell phone
    • 1 30 second video of team making ornament
    • 3-5 candid photos of team making ornament

We can't wait for you to book your Holiday Movie Moment with us! You can check out what the video may look like on our YouTube, TikTok, or Facebook social medias! 

Book now!

Happy Holidays!

Nick, Beka, and the Glitter Gremlins

Megan's Trinkets and Hurricane Ian

Megan's Trinkets and Hurricane Ian

Last Wednesday Megan's home was in the direct path of Hurricane Ian. She, her husband, and five children are trying to recover from some of the worst of the hurricane damage. I've watched her be one of the strongest people I've ever seen throughout this. She has offered everything she can to her community and has remained calm and positive. She has kept her cool. But Sunday she messaged me devastated because all of her and her husband's hard work has been wiped away in a night. She and her husband had to drive over an hour just to find food and gas. They still do not have power, and intermittent running water came on today, but it is only cold.

The call is coming from INSIDE your house.

The call is coming from INSIDE your house.

A call to followers and creators alike to face the reality of what is going on, with grace and humility and humanity. That’s my plea to my community. Stop picking apart how someone says something, listen to their words, listen to what they are trying to say, and give some much needed grace.
