Thanks for visiting "sweet."! I am a stay-at-home mom of four kids (10,11,12 &14). I started this cottage business a few years ago, just as something to offset the cost of, well...four kids! They're cute, but pricey. Anyhow...
I've always loved drawing and art in general, but have never had an outlet for it. I know you are supposed to create just to create. I don't have the storage for that. :) Sugar cookies are consumable art, perfect! It was WAY out of my comfort zone to put my work out there for people not only to see, but purchase and consume. I started getting busy almost immediately, then got sidetracked. In those few years though, fun things started happening! My kids started getting involved. My two oldest earned their food handlers' cards and started helping me bake,design and decorate. My younger two help with clean up, coffee, and very. honest. opinions. They all have earned money for their various activites. My oldest even has customers of her own! It has been really fun to see them see the value of work and setting goals for themselves.
Our latest news is that my husband is getting involved and we are going to grow this business. I almost added, "try", then thought of Yoda. WE'RE SO EXCITED to see where this leads! We've got plans, but we are praying like crazy and waiting to see how this unfolds. If anyone happens to have a turquoise VW bus...
So, part one of our plan, update our logo and our website. I'm on it. If you've been around since the beginning, thank you so much for your patience, encouragement and support. If you are here for the first time, thanks for visiting!
