Thinking back as far as I can remember as a young girl, I would spend countless hours coloring, drawing and painting. I remember getting new coloring books all the time and thinking about how horrible it was that the pages were only black and white. So, when I’d start coloring a page my main goal would not only be to stay within the lines but to also color every single page. I just loved how much more beautiful and fuller of life it was after I was done. I felt this sense of satisfaction that I couldn’t get enough of.

Then I began getting more into drawing and painting. Throughout my school years art was of course always my favorite subject. I would look at my art teacher and day dream about what it would be like to have such a fun job.

Time ticked by and right after high school I had my first child (Preston) so my main focus became solely on him and working any job that would pay the bills. I hated bouncing from job to job trying to find one that I could turn into a career. It never felt right and in the long run it never worked out for me. This revolving door lasted about ten years. Granted I became a cosmetologist in the midst. I enjoyed doing updos and colors and excelled at hair competitions in school but even with that there was still an emptiness.

Then I had my other son at 28 (Carson). Here I was a single mother of two still trying to find myself and recover from an extremely rough patch in life. Crafting became my therapy and my best friend. Every time I had a few extra dollars I would run out and get new materials for a new project idea. I also started teaching myself some woodworking and would use recycled wood to make signs, shelves and various projects. I began taking over the garage and front room with all kinds of tools and materials. I guess you could say I became slightly obsessed.

I would spend any spare minute I could in the front room at my mom’s house working on a new project I’d found on Pinterest or thought of myself. My entire photo library turned into screenshots of quotes and project ideas I wanted to do. I created a Facebook page called Kelseys Kustom Kreationz and started to post things that I’d create on there and started to get feedback and orders. I loved the direction things were going but it still wasn’t quite enough. I didn’t want crafting and creating beautiful things to only be a “hobby” or a side job for me. I wanted to do it all day, every day.

Now here I am on this new journey doing what I love and there’s nothing better than being able to share my passion with others. I want to provide a fun, positive and happy experience for everyone. I want this to be the place that people can come to escape and explore their creativity with no worries while creating something beautiful to bring home and hang with pride. I want everyone to feel that inner satisfaction every time they see their masterpiece.

I also just want to make my mother and father proud. They have done everything they could and more to support me and they deserve nothing less.
