Custom Crafting
I will work with you to make your one of a kind design for any project. If you can think of it I will try my best to do it! In fact I will not say "it cannot be done" until I have exhausted all avenues to accomplish the task requested.
I am not perfect by any means, but I will make you something you will be proud of.
"Designed, Crafted and Handmade,
Just for You,
With Love, Not Perfection"
Some events that I have helped make the memories last a lifetime through my custom craftmanship, include but are not limited to:
School Classes  School Clubs Weddings Birthdays
Family Vacations  Baptisms New Baby New Home
Church Events Non-Profit Events Fund Raising Events
Shirts
Starting around 2011 I designed class shirts which incorporate all the students’ names into a design of the teachers choosing and a different color shirt for each class in a grade level. The students are so excited to see their names on the shirts. When on field trips or even school events on site it helps the teachers find their students quickly since they all have the same shirt. I have created many class theme characters to hold the student names such as “Pete the Cat”, owls, elephants, frogs, and even a moose. For variety I have even turned the teachers last name into a design and put the students’ names in there!
Special Occasions
Over the years I have used my talents to create custom invitations and decorations for weddings, showers (bridal and baby), birthdays, family reunions, family vacations, save the date cards, just because & more. Since the early 1990’s these keepsakes have brought great joy to families and friends alike.
Church Retreats (Gatherings)
For the first time in 2023 I was involved in planning a ladies’ retreat for my church. I designed a shirt around the theme, main topic, of the retreat. Once again, I am crazy about personalization, so I incorporated all the names of the ladies that attended that retreat into the design.
Besides designing the shirts for the retreats, I also create customized games, activities, decorations and props that go along with the theme. The only thing I do not do is the teaching. I will help you with adding visual aids to go along with your teaching.
The various items I have created are relevant to numerous categories so it is hard to keep each of them separate. They overlap easily. Shirts, games, activities, keepsakes, they all fit everywhere!
I have made custom apparel, tote bags, banners, cups, name badges, garden flags, house flags, baptism gifts, key chains, photo magnets, games, bingo cards, decorations, wooden signs and more. If you can think of it, I will make it come to life for you.
I have designed wall word art signage for directional signs for churches, custom biblical verse plaques for inspiration as well as many other signs for various purposes.

After searching for a utensil dispenser for my church and not finding anything that was suitable, I designed and made a card stock template for a utensil dispenser. I then asked a friend that does woodworking if this was a feasible project or was I just dreaming. He said let me look into it for you. He came back with a prototype and said "No Problem" and the rest is history. I mainly use reclaimed lumber, wood and scrap pieces that would generally be thrown away before purchasing "new lumber". There are 3 sizes available to accommodate your needs. A tall 5 slot, a short 5 slot and a short 3 slot. They can be natural wood, painted or stained and then clear coated for sealing the wood.
As of right now the main wood crafting I am doing is the utensil dispenser. However I am exploring other ideas and will welcome the chance to make your idea spring to life.

Laser engraving is all new to me. I am in the process of learning the ins and outs of this additional crafting process.
