{Press} The TomKat Studio in The Arizona Republic!




VERY exciting news! I am featured in today's Arizona Republic!
Last week, Sondra Barr of The Media Barr, freelance reporter for the newspaper contacted me for an interview! Sondra was the editor of Go Gilbert when I was featured on the cover! She has been watching my business grow over the past year and pitched the story the the Republic! Sondra's article is so flattering and really summarizes the growth of The TomKat Studio! She even mentions my heroes: Martha, Hostess with the Mostess & Amy Atlas!

I actually cried when I read it.
Thank you so much, Sondra!

    Well deserved kudos to you! Your blog is so incredible that all your recognition is not surprising. I am slowly testing the water out for my own cookie business now that I am an empty nester and wish my photos looked half as good as yours. Your styling is so beautiful as well. Congratulations again! :)
