How Bubbles began..
I have always loved giving personalized gifts that show the recipient was really thought about. I truly love the hunt for finding exactly what will bless someone and will let them know they are really appreciated.
In 2009 I made 3 custom sets of pajamas for my kids. I picked fabric and colors that I knew they would love. After they were finished I went to get them monogrammed to make them extra special. I put their names and a design that tied in to their pajama pants. My kids loved them, but so did friends and neighbors.
Bubbles was born. I had friends requesting sets for their kids, but most of all for gifts for children and new babies. I would make the sets and then pay to have them personalized. Then requests came for just the personalization on items. I realized there was a strong desire and interest for monogramming services in the area where I lived. After several trips to the local mall Sports Shop that did embroidery, I decided I would get myself a machine and would then be able to create it just exactly how I wanted it.
It started out slowly on my little embroidery machine as I learned all the ins/outs of the embroidery world. I then purchased a bigger machine so I could take on bigger jobs, and as the orders continued to come I purchased an even larger machine. Along with selling on Etsy I was branching out and doing spirit wear in several local schools. The schools were wanting embroidered items, but screen printed items as well. So next step was to add screen printing, vinyl lettering and rhinestone wear to our list of services and offerings.
As more orders came the need for more help came. Bubbles is certainly not a one woman operation! I first have to say every part of my business has come about from God giving the opportunities He did, and also for providing the ability for me to figure things out and strength to attempt to take risks in furthering this adventure. He has brought many helpers along the way. I wouldn't have been able to do any part of this business if it weren't for my supportive husband Nick, who has been along my side every step of the way. He is a tremendous father who is involved in all aspects of home life and business life. From laundry, meals, to delivery man and not to mention Full Time Counselor-having to field all of the constant questions about Bubbles decisions. I am so thankful for each person God has placed in my life and the talents they have lent to the Bubbles biz!
So this is the story of Bubbles- It's a story I love, because I have the best job in the world- to be able to provide something special that makes others happy!
Thanks so much for your business and here's to creating something personalized for the special and unique people in your life!
Have a bubbly day! Jenny
