Okay, I will admit I'm getting older but, how many people can
say they have had a best friend
for 50 years? Well, I can! My BFF Maureen, who lives in Ohio
is visiting me for one glorious week! She is leaving the snow &
cold behind for some warmer weather, sunshine, and
quality girl time! Over the past 38 years, we
have traveled to California, Ohio, Georgia, and Arizona to
spend time together and have seen each other through the good,
the bad, and the ugly!
This next week will be filled with...
It's finally winding down at Fairytale
Brownies for the season. It's December 21st, and the last of
the
holiday gifts are heading out the door and onto the UPS truck
for delivery. We've been working tirelessly to ensure that our
customers receive 100% satisfaction and their brownie
gifts are received with big smiles . . . and we've succeeded
greatly this year. Minimal problems arose - which is awesome for
shipping over 100,000 brownie gifts
in December alone!

We're back at Rick Gayle Studio for
another brownie photo shoot! This has been an exciting week for me,
as I missed our last shoot when I was out on maternity leave. Rick
and Kim Krejca, our food
stylist, have been working hard to help our gourmet brownies and
cookies put their best foot forward in our Spring and Summer 2012
mail order brownie catalogs. This is our favorite time of the year
in marketing, as we get to work on the things that are coming up
for Fairytale Brownies and we have

A friend of mine won an NFL sweepstakes that included 47 yard
line tickets to the Steeler/Cardinal game last Sunday! Being that
we are both from a small town outside of Pittsburgh, it only made
sense for him to invite me! Growing up in Steeler
Country, we both had a great appreciation for this game and
the ridiculous seats! 18th row directly behind the Steelers
bench! Sweet!!There are no crazier fans than the Pittsburgh Steelers fans that's for sure! These people will dress in just...Read More » »

Pay it forward: The concept of having a good
turn be repaid by having it done to others instead.
The novel "Pay It Forward" by Catherine Ryan Hyde was released in
early 2000. It stimulated the creation of the Pay It Forward
Foundation. The movie with Haley Joel Osment was released
later in the year and people have been paying it forward ever
since. (I'm sure people have been doing good deeds for longer than
11 years, but the movement happened
because of the inspiring story.)
I experienced a pay...
On
September 11th, I will celebrate my 9th year at Fairytale Brownies.
At the end of this holiday season, I will have completed my 10th

of November, Fairytale Brownies will hire approximately 120
seasonal team members!!

My niece and nephew, Rowdy and Sophia, were here on
summer break from Texas for about a week. While in Phoenix
the kids were lucky enough to visit me at work for my birthday. . .
what kid wouldn't enjoy a personal, behind the scenes tour of
Fairytale Brownies?!
I sometimes forget how special a tour of a chocolate factory can be, so it was exciting for me to show them the different processes in making gourmet Belgian chocolate brownies, cookies and truffles. They also learned about making...Read More » »

Last evening
me and Eileen Spitalny (co-owner of Fairytale Brownies) were
invited to attend the grand opening of chef Aaron
May's Copper Blues in downtown Phoenix at CityScape. Copper
Blues serves over 50 craft beers on tap, along with
a wide array of American style "tapas." In
conjunction with the grand opening was a hilarious comedy
show at StandUp Live, which is connected to Copper Blues.
Pablo Francisco was the star comedian who did some great
impressions and had everyone roaring with...Read More » »Today we had Heather Schlichting from Phoenix Getaways Examiner
