My Dream
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Leah and I’ve been a seller for around seven years on Ebay, I WAS on Etsy, Mercari briefly, and in person at art shows. I started out with just making soaps for my husband due to him having severe eczema and the store bought soaps just weren’t cutting it. So I learned how to make soap for very sensitive skin. Then he got an infection that caused him to lose function of his dominant hand and was unable to work. That’s when I started my shops.
It was a hard and scary decision. I was left without a significant help to our income through just an unfortunate infection. From soap, I learned candles. Then I picked back up my love of sculpting. Then in discovering a show called Face Off, I wanted to do what they do. So I learned how to make monsters. And I love every minute of everything that I do. Painting followed shortly behind, then jewelry, then resin.
Running my shops has been a roller coaster. From being completely self taught, then a pandemic, then the after effects of the pandemic. But I’m not sorry. Because I absolutely love what I do. I love hearing that someone loves my product. My dream is to run my shops full time. Be my own boss. Set out to make people happy with great products that are ever evolving, and in this climate, being affordable.

I was an insurance agent for over a decade and my shops were just a suppliment for me. Recently, after losing my job , and much self reflection, I decided that it was time to start a new journey. Why? Because I realize how unhappy I’ve been during a ten year career in insurance. Unhappy, that I cannot help people the way that I want. Unhappy at all the rising prices and angry customers who vent about rising costs of insurance and knowing that I can do absolutely nothing to change it.
So it’s time to set out on a new journey. I’ve dreamt of being my own boss for a very long time. But it’s scary. And exciting. So became the birth of this website. My blog will continue every few days. So join me and lets dream together.
