We spent over a month planning, crafting, and setting up a pop-up party for our favorite lady. So much work, but so very worth it!

I made these tiny portraits of my Mom from the 1970′s, her/my dad today, and their dog, Jack, that were made in to small magnets for the guests to bring home with them. I have to say, they turned out pretty cute.. And I think they were a big hit! :)
