YAY!! It is finally time to annouce the brand spanking new DREAM TEAM ’17!!! I had 40 beautiful, talented, smart, wonderful, and perfect girls apply. As much as I wanted to include every single one of them, I had to narrow it down. It was one of the toughest decisions I have ever made. I am thankful for every. single. girl. who applied. You each bring such color and life to this world and the Hi-Line is a lucky place for you to call home! So after reviewing all 40 applications and finalizing all the details, ten fantastic girls were chosen to be on the Merry Character Dream Team 2017!!

The last few years I announced my new team with a simple post on Facebook and Instagram, but I wanted to make this year’s announcement a little more special with the addition of the studio (if you missed that, read HERE!) & some other great opportunities this team will get to do. So I spent a few days in between the closing of the application & the announcement date to prepare these cute little boxes for the new team. I couldn’t have done it without the help of my wonderful momma. I tell you, that woman is so incredibly crafty and smart – she always thinks of the littlest details that make the BIGGEST difference (and boy, can she tie a picture perfect bow)! We prepared a glitter infused cupcake box for each new team member & then drove over 200 miles to deliver each box to each of their high schools! It was an incredibly fun day!

Check out the new Dream Team girls with their cupcakes with the hashtag #merrydreamteam17 on INSTAGRAM!

The cupcakes and boxes were provided by Henny Penny Cupcakes. The team meets for the first time in a few weeks and then I will be able to tell you all about their first project as the Merry Dream Team!!
