"You know you're going in the right direction when everything falls into place"

It all started with a bake sale for camp.

However, it still wasn't enough to get me going. Of course, it's not so much about talent as it is a true passion for the product you create, the standard of quality you set for yourself and a love of talking to people about who you are and what you do.

It wasn't actually until I was given a little push by an amazing man and partner that things really started roll. I can't say it's not a little scary, and I'm not sure where it may go, but it just sort of fell in my lap, so I'm going to run with it and see where it takes me.

Words cannot express the appreciation I have for all my friends, family and those that have supported and encouraged me along the way. Without them, I would never have had the courage to take the first step with my own business. (Wow, that sounds weird!) Even if things don't work out, I just want everyone to know how much their help means to me and my family.


Lots of love <3
