“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23

Despite my very best intentions to post more news, updates and designs to my website … I’ve managed to fall way short of the goal!  I could think of numerous excuses explanations.  But I will choose instead to cling to His promise of a brand new day!  Now more than ever, I am thankful for this assurance.

Every year since I began The Sweet Truth, I seek His guidance and ask Him whether this all fits in with His plan … whether this is truly what he desires for me to invest my time and efforts in.  And every year so far, He has responded and affirmed in a powerful way!  The Spring season is very busy at The Sweet Truth … Confirmation, First Communion, Mother’s Day, Graduation, teacher gifts, and the beginning of wedding season.  It’s looking like this Spring will be the most blessed so far!

Please go to the Events page to see where you can visit The Sweet Truth this Spring.  As always, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity and pleasure to create something special for you!

Peace,

Sheila

I never anticipated that I’d have so many people ask me why I named my business “The Sweet Truth”.  In thinking about it, I don’t remember even considering any other names.  “The Sweet Truth” was placed on my heart right from the start.  I knew it would be a name that reflected and honored the one true source of all that I have and all that I am — Jesus.  And that’s what Jesus is in my life … not just the Truth, but the oh, so sweet Truth!  Jesus told his disciples “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). And to those in disbelief, Jesus responds “I tell you the truth … I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”. (John 10:10). I also knew it would be a name that didn’t just describe what I do or what I make … but instead, fully represent my faith and who I am working for.  I hope that I’ve succeeded.

So there you have it … the short, sweet truth.

As always, thank you for giving me the opportunity to create something special for you … and for our glorious King!

Several people have asked me “why a blog”? (instead of a typical website/online store).  The short answer is that it just plain fits what I want my site to be.  Most online stores are … well, impersonal.  Which reminds me of one of my least favorite expressions — “It’s not personal, it’s business”.  What about business isn’t personal?  Speaking as someone who has spent countless hours thinking about what I want my business to be, putting in hundreds (thousands?) of hours designing and creating, and asking my family to make the sacrifice of time with me … believe me, nothing is more personal to me than that!  On top of that, I want each item I create to be original and special for the person buying it.  I don’t want to just crank out products and ship them off to unknown people.  Every person who buys one of my creations remains in my heart and prayers long after the item is delivered.  I lift up a prayer for each person that welcomes something I made into their home.  So my “business” is very personal to me.

When I considered how I wanted to use my website to share with my customers, a blog just made sense.  I can talk about what’s going on, as well as invite my customers to share their thoughts and ideas with me.  And I can still offer my products for sale.

Feel free to post a comment anytime (maybe even to tell me whether you do – or don’t – like the site).  You can also e-mail me at sheila@sweettruthcreations.com.

Much love and blessings …

It’s been a crazy year (the good kind of crazy)!  Keeping up with the rapid growth of a new business hasn’t afforded me the time to work on a website.  But I’m finally here, and I must say thank you to my many friends and supporters who have made this first year a beautiful success.  I invite you to take a few minutes to look around the site.  It includes my full product line, including several new designs.  I’ll continue to post with information on upcoming events, other places you can buy my products, and just general news about what’s going on in my studio.

Peace,

Sheila
