About Dr. Aja Carpenter,
It all started as a simple gesture of love for her grandmother, who needed a daily boost of cheer when she walked through her front door. Aja's wreaths quickly caught the eye of extended family and friends, who started requesting designs for their own entryways. In 2018, she turned her hobby into a registered business while still working her full-time career as an Educational Administrator.
Affectionately known as "The Wreath Slayer," Aja's love for wreath-making has taken her on an incredible journey, from being a featured participant in several showcases for wreath designing to teaching creative design to budding and experienced wreath-makers.

About Danielle Fisher,
Owner of Creations by Jimmy's Daughter, LLC
Danielle Fisher started making wreaths over 15 years ago, just to have a pretty Christmas wreath on her door to make her kids' holiday special. She quickly fell in love with the creative process and started selling some at her job and church, but then Life called her away for a few years to raise boy/girl twins.
Fast forward to divorce and the twins going off to college, Danielle found herself an empty nester. However, although she had a demanding career with the federal government, she longed for something more to call her own. This presented the opportune time for her to get back to what she loved - wreathmaking! With the encouragement and gentle push from her beautiful daughter and some sister-friends, Creations by Jimmy's Daughter opened on Etsy in 2018. To say wreathmaking is her passion would be an understatement.
She always says that it's her peace in a world where stress is the norm. She's worked hard to perfect her craft and has expanded her skills into creating gorgeous centerpieces. Despite fighting hard to not like it, creating centerpieces has become her thing. As a former adjunct professor and trainer, she is fortunate to be teaching a wonderful group of wreathmakers the art of designing a variety of wreaths and centerpieces. In addition, she recently began coaching other crafters how to successfully open a profitable Etsy shop.
Danielle's new passion is helping women find the courage to jump all in and build a successful crafting business. Her design students have said that they love the manner in which she stretches them to learn how to create complex designs that they may have never tried.
