So Sweet

Here's a tip - don't browse the Food + Drink section on Pinterest when you're hungry. That's what I did earlier and I was pretty much drooling. I came across some pretty amazing looking desserts, wouldn't any one of these be perfect for v-day?

Sugar Fresh Turns One

Wow, I can't believe it's been one whole year since I opened my shop!  I never would've dreamed my little hobby would grow into a business that I am truly proud of.   I can't tell you how grateful I feel to be able to do something I love.  It's been a fun year and I am excited to see where things will go from here.

Thank you for all of your support!

Art For Molly

This adorable baby is Molly Campbell.  She was born on November 23rd, 2010.  On Christmas Eve she was running a fever so her parents took her to the emergency room.  After hours of waiting and numerous tests, a parent's worst fear became a reality.  Molly was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells that was rapidly filling her little body.  At only 28 days old her sweet life had barely begun.

Molly is two months old now and doing well.  She lives each day at the hospital, undergoing chemo therapy and countless other treatments. She is expected to remain at the hospital for the remainder of her first year of life, if not longer.

You can read more about her story and how to help here.  There are lots of people coming together for fund raising events for Molly.  An Etsy shop called Art For Molly was opened for her cause, and I have donated a design that will be sold exclusively in the shop.  This design was originally a custom order for a mother of twins.  I thought the saying was fitting and would be a good addition to Molly's shop.

To find out how you can help, visit Molly's website.  If you have an item you'd like to donate for the shop or if you want to purchase an item, you can visit the Art For Molly shop here.  The shop is stocked with handmade art, jewelry and baby items from other Etsy sellers.  All the proceeds from sales will be donated to Molly's fund.

Language of Love

Happy New Year!

New year, new look, new website

Things are looking a little different around here!  I decided it was time to remodel... a new look for the new year!  I also have finally launched sugarfresh.com.  It is still in it's beginning stages, but will hopefully evolve with my business over time.  I have a lot of new work I am hoping to add to the shop in the next few weeks, so keep checking the blog, I'll post it here first!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Bloggers Give Back

Have you heard about Bloggers Give Back?  It is an amazing project put together to help a family in need each year.  This family lost everything in a house fire and were left with only the clothes on their backs.  Donations have been made by bloggers and crafters which will go up for auction on December 15th.  Proceeds will go to the family.  How wonderful!

I am auctioning two 8x10's to one lucky bidder.  As of today there are 43 items up for auction, and more are added each day.  You can give your support by bidding on the 15th!

On Vacation

We are in California!  We have been having a wonderful time soaking up the warm sunshine.

I decided to keep my shop open, although any orders placed through the 10th won't be shipped until Monday the 13th.
(Unless I decide to stay here through the winter, which I am tempted to do!)

Bijou Market Pics

This past week has been an extra busy one, which is why I'm just now posting pictures from the Bijou Market.  The show was amazing!  I was so happy with the turnout and just loved meeting some of the other vendors.  Thank you to all of you who purchased my prints, and also to the lovely ladies who ran the show.  Here are a couple snapshots of my table as well as some of my favorite displays (sorry about the quality, poor lighting.)
