Hello, Sunshine!

Hello, Sunshine!

I have been putting off this introduction of myself and launching of my blog for far too long! So, welcome to the exciting world of ShinySunstar Creations, and I, Kim Vogt, will be your guide to all of the action.

As I said above, my name is Kim. I am the creator, owner, and brain behind ShinySunstar Creations. There will be more about me and mine in the personal introduction post, coming soon.

ShinySunstar Creations was born in 2017. My husband suggested that I join a local Farmers’ Market that was looking for vendors. I submitted my application and set off on this adventure That first Saturday was crazy; all of my customer service experience could not prepare me for the small business journey for which I was about to embark. I have been managing my business for 5.5 years by local craft fairs, social media, and word of mouth. I am finally taking the plunge into my website and soon pattern selling. On-line has been the scariest part for me; so, it may be a bumpy ride.

What’s with the name? Well, let me give you a quick run down. I love all things SHINY, bright, and colorful. My first born loved the song/book “You Are My SUNshine.” My youngest was the “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little STAR” fan of the two. As for CREATIONS, I don’t ever want to limit myself to just one craft. I keep an open mind, as not to limit creativity!

My intentions for this website are to have stories of my successes, failures, family, crafts, fun, and craziness. (We sure have plenty of that last one around here.) My own written patterns will be included along that way.

Please, join my journey! I have had an active Instagram and Facebook since the beginning of my business. You can check those out by looking me up @shinysunstarcreations.

Sprinkle the world with sparkle! -Kim
