<p>We’re having ourselves a merry little wreath-mas with Cynthia Moreno, the holly jolly creator behind @hotpinkpineapples! To unwrap her creations, we sat down with her for an interview yule love - where we&nbsp;discussed her creative process, her greatest style inspiration, and what she's planning for the ho-ho-holidays.&nbsp;</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">We think that all of your creations are unbe-wreath-able! Can did you begin crafting and creating?</h1>

<p style="text-align: center;">I initially went to school for education because I thought I wanted to be a teacher. After doing that for two years I quickly realized it wasn't for me and then I found out about set decoration. As soon as I learned about that I knew it was what I wanted to do with my life. After school, I worked for NBC cable channels as a set decorator for 11 years. I started HotPinkPineapples for fun as a creative outlet and it's now grown into a full time labor of love. It's so much fun getting to share my ideas and designs and helping people create their own.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">At ModCloth we get our greatest inspiration from vintage clothing. What inspires your work?</h1>

<p style="text-align: center;">Mostly travel. I love visiting new places and seeing different design. I also love going through design magazines. I'll see things that I really love and then I try to find a way to like make it myself.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">If you weren’t creating art, what’s another profession you could see yourself doing?</h1>

<p style="text-align: center;">I'd love to design, build, and run my own hotel.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">Your Instagram feed bursts with color. Have you always gravitated towards vibrant hues and prints? Who is your biggest inspiration?</h1>

<p style="text-align: center;">No, I really like changing. Sometimes I'm attracted to a lot of color and then sometimes my color palette is more subdued. I like to evolve.

I don't really have one ultimate inspiration as I like getting inspired from so many things. As for someone I really admire as a person, I'd say Dolly Parton is a big inspiration. She's so encouraging and all about loving yourself just the way you are. She's the best.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">The holiday season is going to look a lot different this year. How are you planning on celebrating? How do you find holiday cheer with everything going on?</h1>

<p style="text-align: center;">We're not traveling so it'll just be my dog, my husband and I having our own little holiday. Even though we can't be with friends and family this year, we're just trying to stay in a spirit of thankfulness for what we have. I'm sure there will be a lot of holiday Facetime calls as well!</p>
