Thank you for visiting the site today in anticipation of my tutorial. I apologize that I was unable to complete it in time. I promise that I’ll post my project one day soon in the future. I hope you’ll check back every week and see all the fantastic projects.
My mom Sharon (who is also my business partner in Whole Lotta Whimsy) was diagnosed this last week, after exploratory surgery, with terminal liver cancer. It’s been a bit of a bumpy road as she tries to heal so she can undergo chemotherapy. As you may know, stage 4 is an advanced diagnosis; we have faith, however, in the power of prayer, healing thoughts and good wishes from all our customers and dear friends. I hope that you’ll take a moment to send Sharon healing thoughts and good wishes today and each day you have time. Every little bit helps and we are grateful!
Sharon always worked tirelessly to make sure customers were called back promptly, sent great products in a timely fashion, and given a great selection of things to choose from. She loved meeting customers at shows! If you’ve attended the PMC Guild Conference, Bead Fest, GlassCraft, Metal Clay World Conference, Tucson Bead Show or Bead and Button you’ve certainly met her. She has always wanted our customers to feel that they were part of the Whole Lotta Whimsy family. It’s been a passion of ours to spend each day together helping other artists.
Our family-runned business would like to thank you for your continued support. Sharon and I have worked very hard over the last year to bring new changes to the business. In fact we are launching a new website in a few weeks! More changes will be coming that I think you’ll just love!
I’d like to leave you with one parting thought…it is the little things in life that really matter. The smile you extend, holding the door for someone, the thank you’s, the beautiful flowers, the hugs, the handwritten cards, etc as they really touch the heart like nothing else can. These gestures of support and love are never forgettable. Sharon taught me this and we’ve always lived to extend these gestures to others. Your gestures have never been forgotten by us. We are very appreciative.
It is with deep gratitude that I thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, continued support and virtual hugs!
Blessings for creativity, health, and joy,
Tonya
and our amazing team: Drew, Bill, Sarah, Jennifer, Kasey, Eric and Solange
I wish your mother and your family the best.
I will be praying for her and keep your faith strong.
Sincerely,

Sending healing thoughts to your mother and family!!!
I have been thinking of you so much, and will continue to send my love and positive thoughts. Sharon has made a huge difference for other people in her lifetime. And so have you, Tonya. Thank you.
That’s a nice picture of Sharon. I’m sending along lots of hugs and smiles to brighten your day.
I am praying for you and your Mom, Tonya! I pray for many people who have terminal diagnosis. As my dear friend Kelly has said, Believe! -Carmen
Sending positive vibes to you all…Val

My thoughts are with you and your mother. All of us have a terminal diagnosis and most of us choose to ignore it as long as possible. Some of us have to look it in the face daily and do it with courage and fortitude. I enjoy working with Sharon when I order she is so ploeasant and helpfu. I will keep her in my prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It is so true that at times like this we realize what is truly important.
Tonya,
I met and sat with you at a Synergy breakfast in February. I’m sorry to hear of your mom’s illness. I’ll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
