As a young girl, I loved to doodle my name on everything. I drew it in different fonts, sizes and colors. It was my name and I was proud to make my mark. My addiction to doodling grew into a formal education within the arts.

When my daughter was born, I now had a new creative focus. All of my art and love for showing off a name turned to her. I painted a “Jenna” rocking chair, “Jenna” step stool, and “Jenna” in wood letters across her wall. As friends began having children, I turned this love of painting and creating for my own daughter into gifts for other children. This began Bean Bear Creations.

It wasn't until a few years later when Jenna and I would leave a birthday party with party favors or loot bags that either broke or didn't work before we got out of the car. I felt terrible that a parent had spent good money on inferior quality items. It was those car rides, with a crying child who had a broken new toy, that created that “a-ha” moment to expand and change Bean Bear Creations.

Bean Bear Creations now specializes in quality party favors and gifts that will last. The use of the favor should go past the end of the party. My designs are created with colors or a theme to match the child's interest. And most importantly, the wonderful name of the child, the one they will likely love to doodle and be proud of too, will not scratch or fade since only high quality vinyl is used.
