It all started with a banner...
First birthday parties are huge milestones for little ones, but lets face it, they are even more exciting for the parents! So when my daughter turned 1, I wanted to make some of the elements for her party including some keepsakes to use afterwards. We went with a safari theme which required lots of burlap! That is when I made my first banner set that included a high chair banner for her cake smash and her name banner that we hung in her bedroom after the festivities.
After her party and with the gentle nudging of my husband, I put the banner up on Etsy and surprisingly I got an order! I quickly realized that this could be a way for me to stay at home with my sweet little one and also feed my creative soul at the same time.
I had always dabbled in sewing, crafting, etc and sold my goods from time to time, but this could be a real focus, which is sometimes difficult for a creative mind!
It's been 5 years now, our family has grown to include our little man, and I still love what I do! I enjoy the fact that each order is new and different, as party themes evolve and color trends change. I find new inspiration every day and I infuse that into my evolving style and product line.
I love knowing that my banners become apart of special celebrations for families and I feel honored that with all of the choices out there, that people choose mine! I have contributed my banners to birthdays, baby showers, engagements, weddings, reunions, photo shoots, magazine spreads, and for people to enjoy year-round in their homes. Wow! What an honor!
