Maker's Story:

I am a mum of two and have enjoyed arts & crafts all my life. My mother is an artist and crafts person too, so she showed me the way. I've been blogging about my crafts since 2008 at http://jennifergracecreates.com. 

I love to own bright jewellery and fun items as well as giving them as gifts, so one day I decided that I was going to design and make my own. In early 2014, I took the plunge and bought a drawing tablet and Adobe Illustrator software. I spent hours upon hours after the kids had gone to bed learning how to use Illustrator and developed my own designs based on themes that inspired me.

I began creating and selling stencils and embellishments for crafters on my other Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/happyscatter, which I loved doing and still currently create items for. Nevertheless, I always wanted to have another shop with colourful things that I could lovingly paint or make myself. In 2015 I designed some pendants and earrings, but given that I had a part time job, two children and volunteered for a girl guiding group and my kid's school's PTA, it took me a while to get things up and running. 

Now I am very happy painting and crafting away. Most of my items can be customized to suit you or your gift recipient  by choosing the colours or text.
