My story:
It all began back in 1980 when I was in college, taking a ceramics class. The journey of my creative pursuits unfolded further when my eldest child was just a baby, prompting me to take up sewing as a means to save money. It's astonishing to think that he's now 38 – time truly does fly!
My passion for working with wood and paint blossomed when I met an inspiring lady named Sandy. She introduced me to the world of paint, scroll saws, and craft shows. Her positive influence fueled my passion for crafting.
However, life took an unexpected turn with a messy divorce, leaving me grappling with betrayal and heartbreak. This challenging period led me down a path of alcohol and regret.
During weekends without my sons Levi and Eli, I found solace at craft shows alongside Sandy. Tragedy struck on one fateful weekend when my youngest son, Eli, lost his life in a car accident. Devastated, I withdrew from my creative pursuits, retreating further into a dark and aimless existence.
Enter God – four years later, I found Jesus Christ, who became a guiding light. Jesus not only helped me forgive myself but also led me to my soulmate, John. With their support, I began the journey of self-forgiveness and rediscovery.
Slowly, I began to rekindle my creative spirit. Drawing closer to God, I felt a transformation into the person I was meant to be, but now with greater resilience and strength.
Now, my creative pursuits are fueled by love, and I strive to make my creations accessible to everyone. Having been abundantly blessed by my Heavenly Father and my soulmate, John, I am driven to share that blessing by offering quality yet affordable home decor items.
