Our Story

I have been paper crafting for over 20+ years. Scrapbooking, card making, party favors etc. Crafting was my stress reliever, my go to whenever I needed to relax. In the back of mind, I've always had a dream of opening a Etsy shop however I never took it seriously thinking “who would buy my stuff!?”

In 2010, I had my daughter and around the same time we moved (to be exact we moved the day before she born) From then on I pretty much left all my crafting stuff in the moving boxes, never got a chance to unpack them. In 2012, my daughter turn 2 and she needed some hair clips. I went to the stores, nothing really caught my eye. And that’s when I made my first purchase on Etsy. I loved the clips I purchase! They were unique and the craftsmanship was top notch. Of course if you have any crafting bone in you you would know how we think. Instead of spending another $20 on these clips I though I can try to make them myself and save some money! So I spent nearly $200 on all the supplies I needed to make the clips lol! This is when I decided to give Etsy shop a try selling hair clips. I made my first sale within 4 days. Not long after I had my son. I tried hard to keep the shop open and getting orders done but I just couldn’t do it with two little ones. So I put the shop on hold and decided to enjoy my time with my kids.

Fast forward to 2015. Somehow things spiraled downhill for my husband and I. He was laid off from work. We moved again to downsize and was on a very tight budget. My husband was able to find anther job but we were barely making ends meet. I’m a stay at mom so working was not an option for me and that’s when started up my shop again. I finally decided to give my paper crafting a try on Etsy. My first sale came in the next day and it took off from there and that’s how BlueBerrySprinkles started!

Today - I get to create and craft everyday!! Afraid I was going to lose my love for crafting once it became my job but that didn't happen. I LOVE it!! My husband works full time and helps me with stringing banners nightly. My sister in law also joined our team and helps 2-3 days a week. She's also a stay at home mom, so she's able to bring her kids over while we work. It works out for everyone. I can’t tell you how thankful my family and I are to each and every customer!! Without you, all of this would not be possible!
