β¨ Saturday night crafting seemed like the perfect time to properly introduce myself! β¨
Hi, I'm Caz, the face behind The Crafty Collective. π
As I'm sat here crafting, I realised that although many of you know my work, not everyone knows the story behind my little business.
Firstly, I'm a full-time Teaching Assistant and a full-time mum, so The Crafty Collective is something I work on during evenings, weekends and any spare moment I can find!! It's a labour of love, but I genuinely enjoy every minute of it.
The Crafty Collective was established in 2020, but my journey actually started as Cazzie Creations.
Prior to and during lockdown, I began making pebble pictures as a hobby. I shared a few with family and friends, and before long, people were asking me to make them as gifts. What started as a simple creative outlet soon grew into something bigger than I ever expected.
Then I bought my Cricut machine... and that completely changed everything! β¨
I fell in love with personalising gifts, clothing, keepsakes and so much more. It opened up a whole new world of creativity, and it felt like the perfect time for a fresh start.
That's when Cazzie Creations became The Crafty Collective.
Now, six years later, I'm still doing what I love β creating personalised items to help celebrate life's special moments.
From school leavers' shirts and wedding keepsakes to baby gifts, clothing and home dΓ©cor, I love bringing your ideas to life and creating something truly personal.
Running a small business alongside a full-time job and family life can be busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Thank you to every single person who has supported me over the years. Whether you've placed an order, recommended my page, liked a post, shared my work or simply cheered me on β you've helped turn a little hobby into something I'm incredibly proud of. β€οΈ
Whether you've been here since the Cazzie Creations pebble picture days or you've only just discovered The Crafty Collective, thank you for being here and sharing this journey with me!
Here's to many more years of creating!
Caz π
