Hi,
I am Jane Johnson, the owner and maker of Luree's Crafts. I live in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, where I have been making and selling crafts since I was very young. It all started with making potholders on those plastic square looms; I sold a ton of them for just 10 cents each! From that point on, I have been making and selling an array of crafts.
I can truly say that my crafting passion has been a lifelong pursuit. It unexpectedly blossomed in a new direction during the COVID-19 lockdown when I created my first greeting cards. At first, it was just a way to connect with my congregation, sending a simple notecard to everyone as a sign of love and encouragement.
Crafting cards for loved ones unearthed a creative flair that even I found surprising. The constant stream of compliments—and the encouragement to sell my work—made me realize that this passion for designing cards was something I was eager to share beyond my immediate circle.
The idea of selling my cards took root during a conversation with my brother, who suggested taking them online. The final piece fell into place with the help of a dear friend who provided crucial supplies, invaluable guidance, and constant motivation. I will be ever indebted to her.
What began as a simple hobby in a small corner of a shared room quickly outgrew its space. As my supplies multiplied, I moved my operations from room to room before finally settling into a new, larger area.
While I don’t know exactly what the future holds for Luree's Crafts, I am excited to see where this journey takes me. My hope is to build a high-quality online store and eventually expand back into other crafts.
Starting this business has been more challenging than I expected, but the overwhelming support I’ve received has made all the difference. I am so excited to finally share my card-making—and the love and friendship that inspire it—with all of you.
