How Purely Personalized came to be...
My shop was started after working in a career in Law Enforcement for 11 years and then being laid off due to budget cuts. I had NO clue what I was going to do when that happened and began to research. I was never a very crafty person but found myself wanting to start which was of course fueled by Pinterest. I started crafting and loved it. I am a very particular person and found the concentration I had while doing it was very peaceful to me, having something to really focus on. I ended up buying a vinyl cutting machine and that was my start.
I found a local company that sold blank products to be designed by me. I read and read and finally decided it was something I really wanted to do. In January 2013 I bought all the of equipment I needed and began selling to friends and people in my local community only. I had a lot of success and everyone really liked what I was doing. After that I decided to take the plunge and open an Etsy shop. My shop has done very well and all of my customers have been extremely happy with their items. I look forward to my shop growing more and being able to offer more and more items as time goes on. I truly love what I do and the things that I make! Thank you for stopping by!
