Portrait Party in Dublin!

Last Sunday we tried something new for us. A Portrait Party! "What's a portrait party," you ask? First of all it's a lot of fun. Sort of like a Tupperware/Longaberger/Pampered Chef type party but instead of selling "things," everyone gets their portraits made. One of our best customers really wanted to try one, so we said we'd give it a shot (pun intended!).

Wow! What a lot of fun. We set up about half an hour early in the Hostess's living room. Everyone was given a 20-minute time-slot and came over for conversation, goodies, and to get pictures taken. The weather cooperated so we also did outside pictures. Their yard backs onto a wooded area, which made a wonderful backdrop. And best of all, the hostess earned a percentage of all the sales to go toward her order! Everyone wins.

From what we heard, everyone loved it. The kids came to a house that was familiar to them, everything was easy, and they had fun. Just what we want the kids to do! We'll be doing more of these in the future so if you're interested, let us know and we'll tell you how it all works.
