💜🐦‍⬛ MEET YOUR MAKER MONDAY! 🐦‍⬛💜

This week, we’re introducing you to the creative talent behind All Around Creations by CGH

✨ With over 25 YEARS of making things, this maker knows a thing or two about turning creativity into something special! Her favorite creations? Beautiful wreaths, of course! 🌿💐

Green is her favorite color, dogs (especially Schnauzers!) have a special place in her heart, and when she’s not crafting, she enjoys volunteering. Her business name came from a CONTEST, and she’s a proud Belleville East High School graduate with roots in East St. Louis and Fairview Heights.

A Sagittarius through and through, she’s most proud of her family ❤️, loves a good Gin & 7 🍸, and has one very important retirement plan: RETIRE AND CRAFT A LOT! 😂🙌 Now THAT is a retirement dream we can get behind!

We love getting to know the amazing humans behind the handmade treasures at The Purple Raven. Every maker has a story, and we’re thrilled to share theirs with you! 💜

Stop by, shop small, and show All Around Creations some love! 🖤✨

A little bit of Blues 💙💙💙and a little bit of Spooky Season🎃👻🎃!!

HALLOWEEN QUESTION...
Are you team CUTE👻? Or team CREEPY🧟?
