The great thing about the way that iSanctuary does fundraisers is that when someone purchases a ticket, 100% of the amount goes directly to their … [Read more...] about FOUND: Haute Toffee

I have been busy getting things together for an upcoming craft show. It’s a church craft show, but it’s not your grandmother’s church craft show…. actually I really like grandma crafts so I don’t even know why I said that but you know what I mean. I’ll be selling the greeting cards I designed for … [Read more...] about Tis The Season to Make Things
