Halloween order completed 🎃

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been busy working on custom orders for Haahuupayak School. We made 250 small paddle keychains as gifts for their guests, as well as four large paddles featuring photographs for some of the families. It was an honour to work alongside Haahuupayak School and create these amazing gifts.
