A little trip down memory lane. 🥹❤️
Before Craft Depot RGV, this page was “Crafted With Love” and boy, was each and every piece truly made with love.
It’s crazy looking back at these photos because every single one takes me right back to that moment in time. I can probably still name most of the people these orders were made for! 🥹
This album was put together YEARS ago so I could take it with me to events and show potential customers the things I could make. Before the storefront, before the big machines, before Craft Depot… there was just me, my crafting supplies, my ideas, and a whole lot of love for creating. ❤️
And y’all!! This was ALL before DTF printing! 😂😂 These projects took SO much time! Cutting vinyl, weeding every tiny piece, layering colors, lining everything up just right… one shirt could be a whole project by itself. 😂 If you crafted during the vinyl-everything era, YOU KNOW! 🙌🏼
Crafting has always been something I genuinely love. Through every stage of my life, there has been some form of crafting that helped get me through it. It’s soothing. It’s therapeutic. It’s fulfilling. And there’s just something so satisfying about taking an idea that only exists in your mind and turning it into something you created with your own two hands.
I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to open a craft store “just because.”
Craft Depot happened because this is truly something I love.
It grew from years of creating, learning, trying new things, making orders for people in our community, and finding so much joy in helping bring someone else’s idea to life.
Crafted With Love may have grown into Craft Depot RGV, but the heart behind it has never changed. ❤️
Looking through these old pictures reminds me where it all started and makes me appreciate just how far this little love for crafting has taken me. 🥹
Here’s to remembering where you started, appreciating how far you’ve come, and never forgetting the love that started it all. ❤️
