My Story
There is something incredibly hopeful about a fresh start!
I was born and raised in Kansas City and have been making my own greeting cards for family and friends ever since I could hold a crayon. Paper crafts and creating personalized gifts continued to be just a hobby for me until a few years ago when life handed me a few lemons. With encouragement from family and friends, I opened a simple Etsy shop and I used my creative knack as an outlet. I focused energy on new projects, started sharing them with others and found that it made sour times feel a little sweeter.
I love making people smile and helping those in need. In addition to volunteering my time, raising funds and awareness - my shop has allowed me to support many charities by donating auction and raffle items for fundraising. While there are many important causes that need support, a few that I am particularly passionate about include Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. A portion of each sale from my shop goes towards supporting their missions. Learn more about them and how you can help:
