About Me

Hi! I'm Jennie and I am the owner of Inked In Thyme.  I'm a wife, proud Mom of 6, Grandma to 12 grandchildren (and counting), former bookkeeper and now the owner of Inked In Thyme. 

A little "back" story on how I got here....

In 2016, I underwent back surgery that unfortunately didn’t go as planned, leading to the need for a complex reconstructive surgery. The long, challenging recovery that followed brought on a period of depression, especially after hearing I might never drive or work outside the home again. Determined to find something meaningful to focus on, I turned to crafting—a longtime passion of mine. While on bed rest, I dove into YouTube tutorials, craft blogs, and online groups. I bought a Cricut Maker and a small heat press, and once I was strong enough to move around, I started creating shirts and signs for family and friends. What began as a hobby soon became a lifeline, igniting a passion I hadn’t known was there.

Since then, opening my own shop has been a dream. While the dream came easily, the journey didn’t! Life threw many unexpected challenges my way, but they ultimately allowed me to dig deeper, learning new techniques and ideas. Finally, when we moved into our new home, I had the space and freedom to bring my vision to life.

What started as a way to cope with my depression has grown into a true love and passion. I genuinely enjoy every part of the process, from creating each piece to packaging orders, and I hope that joy comes through in every item I send out.

I wouldn’t be here without my Father in Heaven. I give all glory and thanks to Him for my healing, and I’m forever grateful for His love and guidance. I thank Him every day that I am able to do the things I dreamed of.

Thank you so much for shopping with me. I truly appreciate your support of my small business!
