I was thrilled to be one of the Featured creatives for the Creative Connection Los Angeles Holiday Party over the weekend. CCLA is a great networking group where female creatives of all types get together to meet, mingle, share info and generally support each other. I have connected with so many creative ladies over the last year being a part of the group and it has been a real blessing 🙂

As the Event Designer for the Holiday shindig, I worked with the lovely Amanda from Amanda Habbershaw Creative and the fab Love Creative Blog on the lovely print pieces that you will see over the next few posts….and we’ll start with one of my fave little projects: our Winter Mix CD, which was included in the gift bags (more on those later!!). That will lead us to a new weekly column here on the HCS Blog – ‘Monday Mix’, a new mix of songs to start off each week!

Amanda and I put together a great mix of Winter/Holiday songs that are fun, festive and not as well known – enjoy!!
