Suzanne, I know that you have had a dream of opening your own online business. We have chatted about your talent and I know what is holding you back a lot is funding on getting a store going. I know you are smart enough and your feedback is great on your craft. When you won the #999 post (or so I thought) I started looking for a special prize for you. Turns out, you didn’t win it, because there were some punctuation stuff and it all changed, but by then, I had gotten a response from a company called Modern Sugar.
Natalie runs an online boutique design store called Modern Sugar. Her designs are beautiful and she has agreed to donate one of the following designs to you so you can open your own store.

I happen to like the one that looks like this ( i like pink):

This will, of course, be customized in your site name and info by Modern Sugar (whichever of the three you pick).
Additionally, I will donate to you from me, 2 hours of advice on running an online business successfully and a front page graphic on MomDot for any month you choose to help advertising for you. I will also cover the hosting for your first 2 months (up to $25 worth) from MomDot.
I know you dont know me…and I dont know you…not in “real” life, but I want you to know, and everyone else, that its easy to touch someones life in a positive way and Susan..I believe in your business, and ALL mom businesses.
Just email me for Natalie’s info and she will get you set up.
Trisha





Thank you all for the sweet things you said.
My oldest daughter (16 years) was so happy to see this, she hears about Trisha all the time and when she got to hear how happy I was on the phone, and then read this first hand it made her cry.
It’s amazing and I’ve been on top of the world, even with a little one with a fever and being so tired!
I PROMISE to pay it forward one day Trisha and MomDot.com!
That is very generous of you Trisha and Modern Sugar. Congratulations Suzanne.
