What is the first creative memory you have?
When I was little I would cut cute images out of wrapping paper and gluing to sticker paper to create my own stickers
What or whom began your creative journey on Etsy?
I have a very supportive husband who encouraged me to join Etsy to see what might happen. His positive attitude has always been fuel to keep me going when sales are slow! I love bouncing ideas off on him to see what he thinks and I really value his opinion (and he is always willing to help with rush orders and shipping).
How did you come up with your shop name?
Prior to joining Etsy I started selling my handmade greeting cards, party favors, and calendars at craft shows. When I started my mom and I were brainstorming different names and I was totally stuck. One afternoon she popped her head into my craft room and said "What about Something Special by Suzann". I immediately LOVED it! A few years later my mom passed away from Ovarian cancer and when I finally opened my etsy shop - I was so excited to enter my shop name and it keeps me connected to her. My mom was always crafty with sewing and I know if she was here she would love to hear about sales and new items in my shop! She would be PROUD!
Describe what creations you have in your shop?
I have alot of wedding and bachelorette related items. It's that time of the year and I love providing unique party favors! I have wide array of t-shirts for wedding parties or groups of girls wanting to really get noticed while out celebrating. I also have custom moist towelettes for BBQ's, outdoor wedding receptions, engagement parties, or those very popular thumbprint trees so guests can quickly wipe the ink off.
What insprires you?
I just love to create and every time a customer says ‘thank you, it was perfect!’ I get even more inspired to make something new!
What do you listen to or watch while creating?
I generally have my craft space quiet and I enjoy that time to clear my mind and be creative.
