How It All Began - The Beginning of Our Favorite Memories

Hey there! So, it all kicked off thanks to my deep dive into the YouTube rabbit hole. I was casually binge-watching videos about sprucing up my humble abode, and somehow, that turned into a burning desire to create my very own workbench.

Before I knew it, my garage resembled a woodworking wonderland with tools scattered everywhere. Then, the magic happened when I stumbled upon CNC machines – a total game-changer!

I started cranking out patriotic signs, flags, and all sorts of military-themed goodies with that CNC wizardry. The demand got real, and suddenly, I needed a spot to flaunt and sell my creations. Enter the Trade Center – this indoor flea market extravaganza that opens its doors every weekend. That's where I set up shop, proudly naming it Spirited Freedom.

As the orders kept rolling in, people wanted more than just the patriotic stuff – cutting boards, home decor, you name it. I broadened my product range to include sweetheart signs, coasters, and and family themed gifts, and that got me thinking about a brand makeover for a wider audience.

Running Spirited Freedom was a blast, made some awesome friends, but let me tell you, the grind was no joke. Juggling a 9-to-5 gig during the week, crafting signs into the wee hours, and hustling sales on weekends – I was pulling a solid 100-hour workweek for over a year.

I was all geared up for a stellar Christmas season in 2022 when, bam, my body decided to throw a curveball. Falling sick not once, but twice, right smack in the middle of Black Friday and the Christmas chaos at the Trade Center – talk about bad timing.

That's when I realized it was time for a change. My body was waving the white flag, so I decided to explore the world of online selling. Took some courses, went on a learning spree, and here I am!

I've given my store a fresh new vibe – say hello to Our Favorite Memories.
