I have always been fairly artistic and my love for crafting started when I was a sister. I loved making handmade gifts for my sisters and over time sisters started asking me to help make gifts for them. I never realized this hobby could become a business! But during COVID, I decided to take a leap of faith and started A Crafty Practice. In 2 years, I have gained several new customers and have been able to grow my craft beyond just Greek life crafts to household treasurers and apparel. I feel so blessed to have been supported by so many sisters, friends, and family, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me!
