July- I went to Arizona for a Conference. I was over the moon excited to spend the day having lunch and seeing my sweet Friend’s Store {The TomKat Studio} Kim and I met about a year before at another Creative Conference in Tennessee. We became fast friends- She is my mentor and I love her to pieces!

| Original Post- Sweet Bake Shop |
The end of August, Ellie and I took another girls trip to Vancouver B.C. Completely a last minute trip… My friend, owner of Sweet Bake Shop- closed her store. She had it open for one year- her success was overwhelming wonderful- But, running a bakery day to day wasn’t what she wanted to do for the moment. She is writing a book, baking and traveling. (bucket list, check)
