Police Officer Turned Etsian
Hello and thank you for looking! My name is Deb and I recently retired after serving 28 years as a police officer in a medium sized community in Central Illinois, USA. My work as a police officer was very rewarding but I am excited to move on to the next chapter in my life!
I've always enjoyed crafting and graphic design and several years ago I started digital scrap booking. I started a blog where I offer free digital designs for scrap bookers and designers: scrappincop.com.
In 2012 I discovered Pinterest and a whole new world of crafting. I fell in love with the resin jewelry pieces and the process of making them. I originally opened my shop to sell my upcycled copper pipe bezels when I could not find any to purchase for my own jewelry pieces and thought there would be a market for them.
As my collection of jewelry pieces grew to be too large, I decided it was time to throw them in the shop to see if any would sell. To my great surprise, my first year on Etsy was what I would consider a success with just over 600 sales! I have the best customers and many cherished repeat customers. I am excited to create new pieces for you!
