Hello and welcome to my page. I am so glad you are here!
I am Nicole Rowley, owner/operator of Nicole D Creations. I started my business in March 2014, and it has been a dream come true for me.
I grew up in North Dakota and I have lived here most of my life. I did live for shorter periods of time in Louisiana and Pennsylvania (I absolutely loved both), but I always made my way back here! I am very happy I did because I met my amazing husband here! We met in September 1997, were engaged in February 1998, and married in July 1998! It was a whirlwind, but he is absolutely my best friend. He has also been so supportive as I have progressed with my crafting- from the early days dabbling in it here and there in my free time to making it my full-time passion which I enjoy so much.
We were married about 2 years when we decided to do foster care. We did therapeutic foster care through PATH of North Dakota. Therapeutic foster care typically involves longer term care for children with histories of abuse and neglect. We fostered a total of 20 kids over a period of about 11 years and we adopted 6 of those 20! I won’t say that it has been easy. Almost all of them have some level of special needs, but I love them all so much! I have been lucky to have been able to stay home with them. They keep me super busy and on my toes non stop! When my youngest started Kindergarten, I really felt that I wanted to do something, but getting a job outside the home wasn’t an option because I wanted to be home when the kids got home.
I have to say that I never, EVER thought of myself as “crafty” LOL!! My brother, Jeff Hoff, is an accomplished wildlife artist… so I just assumed he got all those genes!! Anyway, my sister used to live in Houston, and I would go visit fairly often and one year we went to the Nutcracker craft market! They had all of these AMAZING wreaths, garlands, lantern swags, and centerpieces! I couldn’t believe how beautiful everything was! Deco mesh is not huge up here in the tundra, so I wasn’t very familiar with it, but I wanted one and I certainly couldn’t afford one there. I was not aware of Etsy at that time either, so that Christmas I decided to make 2 wreaths for myself! They actually turned out OK, but I wanted to do better, so I bought a couple of how to Ebooks and went from there! I can’t tell you how much I just love it! It’s like it completes me. Kinda weird, I know. But now after working and creating for the last 4 years I feel I am ready and SO eager to TEACH everything I have learned. I have created and sold over 1800 wreaths and have worked extremely hard to learn all the ins and out of business. I can’t wait to start sharing my knowledge about this business and how I design my wreaths and learn even more from everyone else out there that shares an interest in crafting and wreathing!
