Merry Post-Christmas!
Did you all have a nice Christmas? I am sitting here this morning putting away all my holiday decorations and am looking forward to a new year here! I hope you all took lots of time the last few days to spend with family and friends. That is exactly what the designers here at the Lilypad did! They took a much deserved break and spent the holidays with family. Due to that there are no new products today. I know that makes many of you sad, but I assure you - the break will be well worth it - just remember - the Jan. BYOC is RIGHT around the corner!!!If you have a moment, lets hear your plans for New Years Eve in our comments section today!Have a great day everyone!Pollywog MandaKay … [Read more...]
