It started with my dad aka Mr Sassypants (funny short story behind that)Aaron: Before we talk about your more public image, tell us a little bit about your own business.I actually have three businesses outside of The Sass ( my teaching show) I have the www.thesassysubber.com ( my printing services) https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheSassySubber (for my digital designs) and my www.lpbdesigns.com  is my physical business. Terry: What are your favorite items to decorate? And what product makes you groan just a little when a customer brings it up? Ask me about the 40 tumbler club ( I strongly dislike tumblers ). I will talk about my favorites too. Aaron: What’s one thing you wish you knew before you got into sublimation? The amount of trial and error that would be in this and how people who teach this make it look easy and perfect.Terry: What would you say is the number one question you get from new sublimators? It's a close race between where did you get that and time, temp and pressure. Aaron: Nicky, why so much focus on education for you? When you work in this business it can seem very lonely no one will share with you the where the who or the why. Like it is some big secret. I wanted to break the walls down. show anyone and everyone they can do this and they are not alone. I show my mistakes, my frustration, and my successes. Being genuine also plays a huge role in that. I am real people, the girl next store, your hype girl, I am the whole package. I refuse to let you quit. Terry: Let’s talk trade shows in your future for 2022.
