Anita has sculpted some of Hallmark's most iconic series like Puppy Love, Happy Halloween, and Niftie Fifties along with many other amazing ornaments.
Puppy Love
Anita’s 28th in the Puppy Love Series was one that was very special for her. Willow the Welsh Corgi was not just any Corgi, it was Queen Elizabeth II's puppy. Anita sculpted an early sample of Willow and sent it to the Queen who did in fact receive her ornament. Not only that, Anita also got a very nice letter back from the Queen thanking Anita for her “generous gesture” She was touched by the ornament.
Happy Halloween
In 2013 Anita Marra Rogers had the idea of bringing two holidays together and created the Happy Halloween Series. Anita's idea behind the Happy Halloween series is to create a different pumpkin with a different Halloween character inside every year. Anita created the very first Happy Halloween Series to look like her daughter as a child. Now in 2023, Anita is still creating the Happy Halloween Series.
