Hello! Welcome to Kayla's Kreations!! My name is Kayla Hess, and I live in a small town in west Texas with my family. I am married to a wonderful, Christian man who is a Network Administrator at a company in a small town near us. We have been married 13 years, and we have 3 beautiful children. I am a stay at home mom as well as home school our children, and I love it! I love getting to be with my kids every day and teaching them life skills or just having fun playing. It is so rewarding to see them learn how to do something.

One thing that is a little unique about me is that I was born with a high frequency hearing loss. My brother, sister, and I were all born with one even though our parents and extended family can hear fine. I wear hearing aids, and with them on, I can hear pretty well. I read lips, and as long as I have my hearing aids on and can see the person’s lips, I can usually understand what they are saying. The statistics said that my siblings and I would not have above a 4th grade reading level. My parents did not care what the statistics said, they wanted us to succeed. I believe we did! All three of us love the Lord Jesus and are married with kids or kids on the way. We also all have college degrees. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Kinesiology from Angelo State University, and I also got to fulfill my dream of playing college basketball for two years, one of those being at West Texas A&M where I got my bachelor’s degree. I know that without my faith in Jesus, and without my parents, I would not be where I am today.

Growing up, I used to crochet, sew little clothes for my Barbie dolls, and do needlepoint. Recently, I have been making needlepoint Christmas stockings for my husband and each of our kiddos. So I have always enjoyed making craft items. Around November 2012, I decided that it would be fun to make a Christmas grapevine wreath for our home. Once I did that, I made more as gifts for my extended family for Christmas. Then one day when I was out shopping, I saw some deco mesh material, which can be used to make wreaths. I watched some tutorials online and bought an e-book about how to make wreaths. I made my first deco mesh wreath and was hooked. I loved it!! I started learning how to make them from some of the best in this business. Now, I enjoy learning new ways to put the wreaths together and coming up with my own style. I love working with deco mesh and adding ribbons, floral, and greenery to each unique wreath!

I opened my Etsy shop in May of 2013, but did not really do anything with it until September 2013. I have been slowly adding more and more wreaths to my shop ever since! I have also added my first video tutorial to my shop, "How to Make a Burlap Mesh Wreath." You can use this video to learn how to make the exact wreath that I show you or if you have made wreaths before, you will learn lots of my tips and tricks that I like to use when making my wreaths. :)

I am so thankful to the Lord for the ability and opportunity to be able to make these wreaths. One of the most rewarding parts of this business is talking to and getting to know my customers. I also love helping them design the perfect wreath for their home or that special person. I hope that you enjoy looking around my shop and that you find a beautiful wreath that you would love to take home with you or give as a special gift to someone!
