May Large Sponsor Highlight!

Oh, sponsors! It's so neat to be able to meet all of these rad people, and promote their small businesses and blogs. Every month I seem to always find a new favorite shop or site to visit, and I'm so thankful to have so many artistic, creative folks wanting to work with Sometimes Sweet. This month is no different, and below you will find a whole bunch of awesome people, just waiting to meet you! So grab a cup of tea, put your feet up, and click around- you may just find a new favorite, too! My small sponsor highlight post will go up later this week as well.

This is also the last month I'll be doing sponsor posts in this simple format- next month I am looking forward to making them a little fancier and utilizing dear old Photoshop to format these to be more aesthetically pleasing. Yay!

*Also, some of these awesome shops are offering very generous discount codes, so be sure to scroll down and check them out!
