Ginger - Owner & Designer
I am the owner and the Artist/Creator of the Whimsical Primitive Doll Pattern Designs that you will see here on the website.
I've been crafting since I was a young teenager. At first I would create items for myself, friends and family. Then later on, while my husband was in the military, I began to branch out and start selling at the Craft Shows and Bazaars and at one time had a small shop on the military base in the BX building.
Then in 1997 I became very ill with several diseases and illnesses which took me away from my crafting passion. In June 1998 I was diagnosed with AML Leukemia. I had a few rounds of chemo which put me into a temporary remission just long enough to get me to a Bone Marrow Transplant. In October 1998 I received my new Bone Marrow that we hoped would save me from this horrible disease. By the grace of God I am still here today.
After all that it took me many years to get back on my feet and feel like crafting again. Once again, I slowly started crafting for myself, my friends and my family. As the years pasted I started to gain a little more energy and wanted to broaden my horizons. So, twice a year I began selling at a couple of local Craft Shows & Fairs.
A few years later I started getting into designing my own Whimsical Primitive Dolls. I began by just creating them and selling them, but then it dawned on me that others might enjoy making them as well. So, I decided to start selling the Patterns along with the handmade finished designs at the local shows. To my surprise the Patterns were a huge success!
At this point it was time to start selling online so that I could reach more people and keep up with today's technology and convenience of shopping from home or anywhere for that matter.
Thus, Gingerberry Creek was born!
