UpliftCrafts

I have loved books and paper as long as I can remember. From the first books I made as a child with crayons and construction paper and my mom’s handwriting, to the joy of bookmobile day, of sending a folded up note across the room to my best friend in 6th grade science, the memories tied to the quirky handmade posters in my college dorm room, the tiny journal I kept in my backpack during my semester abroad, marrying my pen pal sweetheart, our overflowing bookcases at home, and the love letter sticky notes discovered in my lunchbox. As I look back, these memories of paper and books and writing have meant so much to me. Following a difficult time in my life, my mom encouraged me to craft. I enjoyed watching ordinary paper transform into something beautiful through my work. Through the process of creating new things for others, I began healing and experiencing joy in my life. Gradually this strange love for paper and crafting was rekindled within me, and I found that creating things for others allowed me to uplift them as I was lifting myself. And Uplift Crafts was born.

I truly enjoy my time spent creating, and I am looking forward to sharing the fruit of it all with you. I hope our handmade items can inspire your own creativity and bring a little joy to your life! Thank you for visiting our shop!
