I was raised by a single Mom, who passed away from breast cancer when I was 13. Always knowing about this place in Houston with amazing cancer research and care, we just couldn't afford to bring her here. I've had the pleasure of working with scientists for almost 10 years, and have used this an an opportunity to open the creative can of worms!

My Mom was amazing!! She was so creative and such a festive nut, we had decorations for every holiday you could think of! Raising two kids on a librarians income, she always made things for friends and family for the holidays and it brought her so much joy! Never thinking I was a creative person, I hadn't attempted to make anything.

At Christmas in 2015, my husband and I had two 4 month old Great Dane puppies (yes 2 of them), we was in the process of buying our first home, and didn't have the much to spend on gifts. Wanting to make something creative... I started searching around and decided to dash out to Hobby Lobby on 12/23 to make some Christmas gifts! Jamming out to old Christmas tunes on Pandora, I stayed up until 4am, two days in a row to get these wreaths done in time for my sister in-laws!

The reaction to my ornament wreaths was so overwhelmingly AMAZING, I couldn't believe it (and was really excited)!! At lunch several weeks later I was telling a best friend about the experience and she said, "Kristen, you are so creative and this brings you so much joy, why don't you share this with the world!" Wallah, and just like that iLoveThatWreath was born!

It became so obvious after speaking to many people about my wreaths, selling them on the side of the road, and doing shows, I needed something I could send people to and that my customers could share with their friends too!

To this day, I still listen to old Christmas music while I'm making my wreaths, no matter what the holiday is. It reminds me of my Mom and ignites her creativity in me, while bringing me such immense joy!

Everything I make is custom, and I don't make multiples of the exact same wreath so whatever you decorate your door with will be the one and only in the world, JUST LIKE YOU!
