First of all, I'd like to thank EVERYONE who is a new follower to my blog, Facebook, Twitter and who signed up for our mailing list. You guys are awesome. I would also like to thank everyone who has made a purchase from our shops. This Holiday season is going great for us and we really hope that every one of you who purchased (or won a giveaway!) enjoys our items & products. We work very hard to get these great quality jewelry pieces, bath and body products and yummy baked goods to you. We're a little backlogged right now, so shipping can take up to 7 business days from time of purchase. I have gotten some help and we're working quickly to ensure that your packages arrive in a timely manner! We were NOT expecting this much during the Holidays, but we were prepared just in case. Thanks to all of you!!

We are going to be posting a brand new Giveaway tomorrow and we're excited about that. In addition, we are also thinking about our Black Friday sale that we will be having the day after Thanksgiving. We're weighing different options, seeing which will be the best for our shops.

We also still have our Pre-Thanksgiving sale going on. You can visit THREESEVENTEEN to learn more about that!

Keep checking back for our new giveaways (weekly) as well as more details on our Black Friday sale. We will have those details all hammered out by Tuesday and will be posting them then as well!

Another order. :)

As I speak, I am waiting for my chocolate eggs (ChocoEggs) to harden so I can get them out to our customer! That's right, another purchase! That makes me jump for joy to know that business is really picking up. I couldn't be happier. March has been an OUTSTANDING month for me! Though we're just starting out, still at this time, and though we haven't had too many orders, I am very happy that we have what we have. This has definitely been great. My mom and I have been coming up with so many ideas for Sugardust Confections as well as our other stores. My mom was digging out my grandmother's recipes so that we could really get some great ideas! Sugardust is definitely in honor of my grandmother. She was an amazing baker and candy maker. She did everything perfect and we would love to follow in her footsteps. My mom and I have fully stocked our upstairs kitchen (The kitchen we only use for Sugardust Confections) with all of the things that we need and we are so excited!

OhMyCupcake and ThreeSeventeen will also be getting some new products soon. We couldn't be happier at the progress we are making. One thing, we do wish there were more hours in a day so we could get all of this done! The kids are a handful amongst my looking for a job to keep this business rolling until we get a steady flow of income. I primarily work at night on all of this and usually end up pulling all nighters. Whatever gets the work done!

I think the eggs are hardened!

New look to the page!

I know it isn't perfect, but it's better than what I had! This will just be temporary until I can take the time to actually make a really nice blogspot layout. I need time to do that! Between working, taking care of my kids, taking them to school and activities and working on new items for my shop, that may be a month or two! I already put my other site on hiatus because of all of this! lol

New items coming tonight!
