Sammie
My name is Sammie, I am a work at home mom, and aside from my husband and children I have two loves, food and crafting. Two years ago I decided to try my hand at making some fondant decorations and it turned out that I was pretty good at it. Today, am the owner of a small cupcake business in the suburbs of Philadelphia. When I am not busy taking care of my family or making cupcakes I love to spend time crafting. Most often I make home furniture and decor out of old wood pallets. My friends have expressed so much interest in what I have made that I find myself instructing them almost daily on how to create something themselves.
