Business Spotlight: Glitter Glitz and Glow

I had met Jennifer on Facebook through her business page. Her business is called Glitter Glitz and Glow. I was curious about what she crafted, so I perused the page. I found all kinds of cool resin art. While looking, I found a couple of things I liked, so I contacted her. That's how we met. I found her talent to create so many unique pieces really awesome! I couldn't help but go back to her page after I had ordered to see what new item she had posted. After my first order, I had contacted her again for more. I was hooked!

About Glitter Glitz and Glow: Jennifer said this about her business, "My most popular items are my Bigfoot Coasters, but I love doing all things Christmas. I have always enjoyed the holidays and last year I was happy to create gifts for my family and friends. I like to keep my items at a lower cost so everyone can enjoy my little works of art. I have made hundreds of connections with people, and I enjoy meeting people and sharing my art. I have also helped others who have wanted to learn this hobby. This hobby is endless on what you can create. I find it amazing when I create something that I am not so fond of but someone else loves it. I think my most cherished moment is when I was asked to make a memorial piece for a family's horse, from his braided hair. The story behind it still makes me tear up and I gained a friendship with the owner."

About her: "I worked in retail management for over 30 years. I had an accident in 2020 and by 2021 I could no longer work. I started doing a small raised garden to try to occupy my time. I enjoy growing food and creating meals with what I've grown. I found myself stir crazy in the winter of 22/23. So I started thinking of things I could do to stay busy when I was able to do something. By the time garden season was in full swing of July of 2023, I grew poppies for my mother. I just needed a way to preserve them, I asked around and was told it would be over $400 to encase them in resin. I thought I can do it myself. So in August of 2023 I bought resin and a tray mold. I dried the poppies and proceeded to make the tray. This was a super large project for a beginner, and nothing went right. I didn't mix or measure the resin correctly or something as my poppy tray never cured. I ended up throwing the tray and mold in the trash. I was not going to fail, I told myself to start small and work my way up. So I proceeded to make bookmarks, keychains, and small trinket jars. I did my first craft fair in October as I had quite a bit of inventory by then. I met some amazing people and did a few more throughout the year."

Her Services: Jennifer has a lot of items available to see on her Facebook page for Glitter Glitz and Glow. I think you can ask for a custom piece if you want something specific, too. She sells earrings, bookmarks, keychains, coasters, art pieces, ornaments, decor, magnets, wands, business card holders, figurines, and much more. She can also ship items with a shipping fee. To see her art, you can find her on Facebook here. Be sure to visit her page, and check out her various art. Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing about your business.

Many blessings,
