About

My name is Johanna Shaw, and I am a crafter, designer, mother, wife, elementary school tutor, and chronic volunteer. 

I have been crafting my entire life, having grown up going to craft fairs with my mother and having fun figuring out how items were made, and talking about how we could do them differently or better. I even had a crafting business with my mother when I was a teenager, with her doing tole painting and floral arranging while my focus was on jewelry, cardmaking, and fabric arts. I'm not sure there is a section of Michael's or JoAnn's that I haven't dabbled in at some point, but I have really settled into proficiency in and enjoyment of designing and creating with my Silhouette machine (a competitor brand to the more ubiquitous Cricut for those who aren't familiar). 

My greatest passion in my crafting in the last decade or so has been making things for my 3 boys. They have a wide array of custom shirts that I have made, and I delight in making their birthdays magical with over-the-top themed parties. I really, REALLY, love taking a theme as far as it can go, and even decorate themed rooms. Every bedroom and bathroom in my house has an elaborate theme, and where "normal" people are supposed to have formal living and dining rooms, we have a board game room and a video game room! I have even taken my show on the road a third of the way across the country to decorate two themed rooms in my best friend's house!

I know that every parent wants their kids to be happy and for their special days to be magical. I also know that not everyone enjoys or feels comfortable crafting. This is where I got the idea to make and sell packs of themed party decorations and themed room decorations. From there, I thought of adding stickers and printable planner pages, and other design work as well. My ultimate dream would be to grow my business to a point where I could start to work as an interior decorator specializing in themed rooms.
