Interview with Jenni Bowman.

Yes, I said it, and what a faker she is too! Ok, let me clarify… Jenni Bowman, founder of Jenni B Originals, makes the sweetest faux desserts, foods and original displays you’ve ever seen!**

Jenni’s delicious looking—and very real looking—faux cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and even candied apples are definitely, as she says, “the best desserts you’ll never eat!”
Like a lot of us entrepreneurs, Jenni started out with an inspired idea for creating something she loved, and she set out enthusiastically to see what she could do with her idea. Even though she has been in business only just over a year, she and her creations have attracted some very major attention.

And for the the topping on her sweets~~Jenni says to just add a message in the Notes to Seller section saying you heard of her on MMP and she will refund the 15% of your purchases via PayPal. Sweet deal on her sweets!

Interview with Author Jill Monroe

Each month Make Mine Pink interviews an inspiring woman entrepreneur. This month we're honored to introduce Author Jill Monroe.

Romance is in the air!
What could be more fun than to interview a Romance Writer for our February “Women Who Inspire” column? Several MakeMinePink.com members “met” Jill Monroe in the summer of 2007 when she visited and commented on our blogs during our virtual Tea Party week. After exchanging a few emails with Jill, I found her to be a very warm, funny, and inspiring author and to be a down to earth wife, mom, and entrepreneur like so many of our members and readers, so I know you will enjoy learning more about Jill and the ridiculously fun work she does!

Meet the inspiring Susan Branch

"I think one of the most important things you can do is be yourself," says Susan Branch in her recent interview with Cathy Scalise of Treasured Heirlooms. "Love and cultivate friends along the way; we're all here together sharing the planet at this time", she continues. "You can offer help to others, and they can offer it to you. I've been lifted by the kindness of others, and I try to pay it back by doing some lifting myself. And, overnight success is probably nice, but you become more as you age, so, let yourself gather information, knowledge, credibility, and show yourself through your work. Don't be in a hurry. Read and learn. One of my favorite quotes is actually a proverb: “Pray to God, but continue to row toward shore.”
