  If you’ve ever sat down to create and thought, “I don’t even know what my style is…” — you’re not alone. So many of us go looking for creative style like it’s something out there waiting to be discovered. Something we need to define, name, and get “right.” But here’s a softer, truer way to look at it: Your creative style isn’t something you find. It’s something you feel your way into. Your Creative Style Is a Feeling First When people search for how to find your creative style , they’re often expecting rules—colors to use, techniques to follow, or a certain “look” to develop. But style doesn’t begin with how something looks. It begins with how something feels .

Not for followers. Not for money. But for the joy of sharing, teaching, and building community. Because that’s where true fulfillment lives.

 I want to share a little background story about myself and how I came to create this little blog for my business.  I've had a business name for over 10 years called Markets of Sunshine that started on Etsy and here on blogger.  Sadly, the domain name was about to expire and I was not notified and someone stole it and is wanting me to pay hundreds of dollars to get it back.   NEW NAME, SAME PRODUCTS Therefore, I started this blog to first of all share that news and secondly to create a name that is closely aligned with my business name on Etsy and tells exactly what you'll find here and on the internet about me.  I've had a Facebook business page called, Markets of Sunshine and a Pinterest account and a YouTube channel .  On Twitter it's called MarketsSunshine because they don't allow enough letters for the whole name.
