Hello, my name is Melanie but go by Mel. I am a stay at home mother to two beautiful kids. I created MelsVinylCrafts while being on maternity leave from my Dental Assistant position and decided Crafting is what I wanted to do full-time. Crafting has always been a big part of my life when growing up whether it was paper crafts or beading. I’ve always enjoyed learning new things and have always had a passion to create new items and learn new techniques. I also decided to become a rhinestone supplier after I got into blinging cups and pens and created MelsRyStones (Mel my nickname, Ry the beginning of my sons name Ryatt.) to help supply affordable rhinestones to other small businesses that enjoy blinging just as much as I do.
