Some days I sit back and look at how far I've come, and I can't help but feel incredibly grateful.Taking the leap to start my business was one of the scariest things I've ever done. There was no big team behind me, no investors, no one doing the work for me. It was just me, a dream, a lot of determination, and countless late nights. Even today, I'm still doing it all on my own. Every design, every order, every message, every shirt pressed, it's all me. While it can be exhausting at times, it's also one of the things I'm most proud of.
What started as a dream has grown because of the amazing people who continue to support my small business. I'm thankful I believed in myself enough to take that chance. I'm thankful for the lessons, the growth, the challenges, and most of all, the community that has supported me every step of the way. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me turn a dream into reality.

My view from inside the house today while pressing orders and honestly, I couldn't be more grateful.

As I sat working on everyone's orders, I looked outside and saw a yard full of teenagers laughing, playing, and just being kids. In a world where everyone is growing up way too fast, there's something special about seeing them put their phones down, make memories, and enjoy being together.

I've always hoped our home would be the house where kids feel welcome, safe, and free to be themselves. The house where they can come hang out, laugh until their stomachs hurt, raid the snack cabinet, make memories, and just enjoy being young.

Life gets busy, and sometimes the house is loud, messy, and chaotic, but days like today remind me that those are the moments that matter most.

While I was inside working hard on orders, (which was alot of the parents orders 🤣) my heart was full knowing that outside was a yard full of kids making memories they'll hopefully remember for years to come.

I couldn't be more grateful for this life, this community, and the opportunity to have a home that so many kids feel comfortable calling their second home. Im now aunt shantelle to alot of these local kids

Welcome summer ☀️⛱️

🎓Graduation season has kept me incredibly busy, and I haven't had much time to post this week, but I wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU! 🎓

To everyone who trusted me to create something special for your graduate this year whether it was a shirt, graduation cap, senior pants, keepsake, or custom design.thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has truly been an honor to be a small part of such an important milestone in your family's life.
To all the moms and dads with graduates this year... take a moment and give yourselves a pat on the back. Through the early mornings, late nights, homework, practices, games, tears, celebrations, and everything in between you did it! You helped guide them to this moment, and that is something to be incredibly proud of.

Watching all of these seniors reach this milestone has been amazing. The Class of 2026 has a bright future ahead, and I am so grateful that so many families chose me to help celebrate their accomplishments.

Congratulations to every graduate and every parent who stood beside them on this journey.

Thank you all for your support, your orders, and for allowing me to create memories that will last a lifetime.

I don't normally pay much attention to numbers, and I've never really noticed seeing the same number over and over before. But tonight, I got a notification from my business page that Shantelle's Custom Creations has officially reached 2,222 followers! 💚

Out of curiosity, I looked up the meaning of 2222, and this is what I found:

✨ 2222 symbolizes balance, harmony, and alignment. It's said to be a reassuring sign that you're on the right path and that your hard work will soon pay off.

After the week I've had, that really made me smile. I've been working my butt off keeping up with softball shirts, baseball orders, 4-H shirts, and now graduation shirts. There have been a lot of long days and late nights, but seeing that number pop up reminded me just how much this little business has grown.

Whether you believe in angel numbers or not, I couldn't help but smile. Running a small business isn't always easy, but moments like this remind me how grateful I am for every single person who has supported, shared, ordered, and believed in me along the way.

To all 2,222 of you thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means more than you'll ever know. Here's to continuing to grow, create, and chase big dreams together! 💚🤍

I just want to take a minute to say how truly grateful I am for this amazing community. The amount of support my small business has received lately honestly means more than y’all will ever know.

Thank you to the amazing community for choosing my business to make your shirts. Thank you to the parents of the girls softball team for not only supporting my small business, but for allowing me to create shirts where money is also being put back into the school programs. That alone means so much to me.

To all of the Margaretta 4-H parents , thank you so much for supporting me as well. And to the ones who reached out to me about doing the SBC Championship baseball shirt, seriously, thank you all

Track parents 🫶 thank you also for trusting me to create your shirts for state .

Hype chains for the tournaments that have been going on thank you chris for trusting me with designing .

This business started from absolutely nothing. No big setup, no huge backing, just me, working hard and building it from the ground up little by little. So seeing this kind of love and support from the community is honestly the most amazing feeling.
Because of all of your support, I’m proud to say I was able to sponsor $500 towards cheer and football season agian, and I’ll also be donating $200 to the athletic boosters, that’s a total of $700 going right back into our school programs. ❤️
My kids are still young and not in junior high or high school sports yet, but I absolutely love being able to support these young athletes in any way I can. None of this would be possible without this incredible community standing behind me.
From the bottom of my heart , thank you all so much. Your support means everything to me and my family.

Today is extra special because not only is the middle one graduating, but she’s also celebrating her 18th birthday!

It was such an honor to be trusted with designing my niece’s graduation cap for the Class of 2026. Seeing it all come together for such a big milestone meant so much to me. I also had the chance to create senior pants for my other two nieces for the Class of 2027
(i got told at 7:00 last night they needed them this morning 🤣)
This was my first time doing both graduation caps and senior pants, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have been part of such special memories for my girls. Watching them grow and drive me crazy through the years I’ll forever be proud of 🎓
