Sometimes you have to stop and look back to truly see just how far you’ve come. ❤️
When I think about where Erin’s Crafty Creations started compared to where we are today, I honestly get emotional.
What started with a dream, some creativity, a whole lot of hard work, and faith has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined. There were days I questioned myself. Days I wondered if this business would ever become what I saw in my heart. There have been long nights, early mornings, festivals, pop-ups, loading and unloading, mistakes, lessons, tears, prayers, and plenty of moments when giving up probably would have been easier.
But God kept opening doors.
Little by little, we grew. We added new products, new equipment, on-site shirt pressing, laser engraving, and so many other things I once only dreamed about offering. We traveled to events, met incredible customers, built relationships, and watched people support this little business over and over again.
And along the way, God placed people in my path who were willing to take a chance on me.
Kevin and Jerry, I will forever be grateful to both of you for giving me the opportunity and the space to grow. You gave Erin’s Crafty Creations a chance when it was still growing into what I knew it could become. You allowed me to learn, expand, dream bigger, and take steps forward. I will never forget the part you both played in this journey. Sometimes someone simply believing in you and giving you an opportunity can change the direction of everything, and I will always be thankful that you gave me that chance. ❤️
And now I can stand inside our own building and look around at an actual store that belongs to Erin’s Crafty Creations.
That hits differently.
It’s more than four walls. To me, those walls represent every prayer, every sacrifice, every person who believed in me, every customer who placed an order, every person who stopped by our booth, and every time I chose to keep going when things got hard.
I know there is still so much work ahead, and I know this is only another chapter in the story. But today, I just want to appreciate how far we’ve come.
Most importantly, I want to give God all the glory. I know I didn’t get here by myself. He made a way when I couldn’t see one. He placed people in my path when I needed them. He carried me through the difficult seasons and continued opening doors at exactly the right time.
From a dream…
to vendor booths…
to events…
to being given a place and an opportunity to grow…
to expanding and believing in something bigger…
and now to our very own storefront. ❤️
God has been so good.
I pray I never become so focused on where I’m trying to go that I forget to thank God for how far He has already brought me — and that I never forget the people He placed along the way who helped me get here.
Here’s to the next chapter of Erin’s Crafty Creations. ❤️🙏
We’re just getting started. 96 here we come!!!
