Step 48

If you’re looking for something to make this Holiday Season special, take a look at Personalized Holiday Ornaments.

The owner, Debbie Gault, does most of the work herself, although she does have some assistance from family and friends.

What does she do?

Debbie offers a variety of personalized handmade Christmas ornaments, any one of which can make this a memorable season when given as an early seasonal gift. And the fact that most can be personalized can make these gifts extra special.

Debbie says

“My Grandma started teaching me how to sew when I was five. I made my first Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls when I was about ten years old. My most prized possession is my 1940 Singer Featherweight sewing machine that I learned to sew on at my grandma’s house. It is still my favorite machine to use. I also inherited my husbands Grandmas 1950 Singer Featherweight sewing machine. Last spring I talked my Mom into going to an all day maintenance and repair class for my machines. The class was very fun and helpful.

I started sewing items to sell when I was a teenager. My Mother drove me to juried craft shows. The first items I was selling were handmade fake fur animals and fabric dolls. Everyone told me that I needed to make smaller items. 10 years ago I downsized and started making old fashioned felt ornaments. I sold them at craft shows and at a craft mall. However, my business really took off when I got the idea to start personalizing them. The down side was I had to be there. I purchased a Viking Quilting machine that was designed to embroider names on quilts. I was not satisfied with the quality of the lettering although I sold a lot of ornaments. My Mom saw small embroidery machines advertised that I could take to shows with me that do a much nicer job of lettering. The business took off when she bought me my first one. I usually take three embroidery machines to shows with me and keep them all humming. These machines draw people who like to watch them work. I am sure I could have sold machines if I had extras. It is sometimes hard to keep up with orders for waiting customers so I started taking orders and fulfilling them by mail.”

These personalized handmade ornaments are delightful. Debbie carries snowman ornaments and other personalized Holiday ornaments.
