UPDATE: Alas, my Peeps diorama didn’t win. But at least my Twitter account got a shout out on the Washington Post website. If you are curious, check my 5 seconds of fame here.
Some people fantasize about winning the lottery or a Nobel Prize. I dream of one day taking my place among the winners of the Washington Post peeps diorama contest. I’ve been blown away by the top entries each year I’ve lived in DC. This year was the first time I actually got around to entering the contest myself.
My husband and I tackled the royal wedding last weekend. He worked construction on a very accurate, mini version on Westminster Abbey. I handled Peep styling and costume design. Of course as a blogger, I had to give a shout out to my favorite royal wedding Internet memes frowning flower girl and Princess Beatrice’s horrible hat.
Here is our entry. Any ideas for next year?
