I created Something Sweet & Sassy so I could share with everyone the gifts I had been making for my friends and family.
I started making presents because I was tired of wasting my time at the mall trying to find the perfect gift for the fabulous people in my life. They deserved better - they deserved something made especially for them by someone who really cared.
I began by making cards for my clients when I was in sales. I wanted to show my personal appreciation for their business. So I started stamping and card making. That evolved into re-making my antique jewelry into funky and original pieces. Then came napkin rings and bags. Then, wonder of wonders, I decided make all the thank-you gifts for my wedding - including the save the dates, rehearsal invitations and placecards.
They were a hit.
So I continued brushing up on my sewing and creating aprons, wine bags and gift bags, baby blankets and bibs. My lovely god-daughter, Samantha, is one of my best inspirations - I love dreaming up new gifts for her. Finally, I started dabbling in beauty products, cocoas & and coffees, and dips & seasonings.
Here are the fruits of my efforts. Speaking of which, I just learned how to make wine. Stay tuned…and enjoy the experience.
