Event Recap
At the Local Club Dinner event in Jacksonville, FL, Anita talked about her career with Hallmark and then opened up the floor for questions. In response to a question about what can we expect for next year, she talked about her ‘Happy Halloween!’ series. After mentioning how much she enjoys working on this series, she shared an interesting piece of trivia about the second in series piece. She said that the design incorporates a self portrait above the fireplace. Anita then mentioned that next year’s 3rd in series ornament, will feature a zombie in a graveyard.
