Pure Joy Creative started about two years ago in my home with me wanting to make special and meaningful gifts for my friends and family.
My friend had asked me to make a scripture painting for a baby shower she was attending and I was so excited to do this for her. It was that painting that started my thoughts about opening an etsy store. I'm so glad I did. While I may not have sold a TON I've helped my family earn some extra money for our bills and even a little fun once in a while.
My amazing husband is a Pastor and I am so blessed that I am able to stay home with our two small children (and one on the way) but the bills were still coming so it's great that I can help out a little bit here and there.
I've also been making felt food as gifts for over two years and many people have encouraged me to sell that as well...although it takes longer to make it is really fun for me to do. I try to keep my shelves stocked but to me it's more important to spend time with my family than be sewing all the time!
I've also been a professional photographer for 8 years and love that I can incorporate that into my etsy store as well with scripture prints. I hope to be adding more as time allows.
