How did you get started in the "heart" business?
I have been making keepsake hearts for years for family, friends and neighbors. It is
something my grandmother once did. She would make these unique little keepsakes out of remnants of fabric. Birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy….it was something small, but it was from the heart. So, I guess you could say, I am carrying on the tradition. My website
is in dedication to my grandmother. My husband, daughter, and son-in-law encouraged me
to go into the heart business.



What will you be doing to celebrate Valentine's Day?
My husband has made plans for a long weekend at the beach in Florida!!

Have you ever used your hearts to play Cupid?
I personally haven’t used my hearts to play Cupid. But I have been the messenger for
many. This Valentine’s Day I will be preparing hearts for loved ones that cannot be together.

Quick, what is your favorite chocolate - bar, cake, cookie?
CAKE~!!!!!
(I’ve been working in the ice cream business for the last 18 years. So, PLEASE don’t tell my boss!!)

I like to eat healthy even when it comes to chocolate and cake. So, I’ve been experimenting with cake recipes that are gluten free.

Do you have a best loved chocolate recipe to share?
Oh, hard question. My mom would make this killer chocolate bread pudding.
Warm, thick, gooey. More like a cake than pudding. Yum.
The recipe is missing! Now I will be on a mission today to try and find it.
Hmm, an idea. Gluten free chocolate bread pudding. To the kitchen!!
