Rhonda and Kelea were both guest speakers at the Wreather Makers Live event in 2018. They hit it off and instantly became great friends. It was through this wonderful friendship and love of wreath making that the Better Together Wreathers Retreat was born.
Rhonda Nickerson is a wife and a mother to four beautiful children. Rhonda has been making wreaths and homecoming mums since October, 2015. Since then, her business Rhonda’s Creative Corner has grown tremendously.
Rhonda is highly successful on YouTube, Etsy and Facebook. She currently has a beautiful storefront in Grand Prairie, TX where she sells her beautiful wreaths, homecoming mums, wreath and mum supplies.
She also has a subscription group on Facebook called Rhonda’s Creative Circle, where she teaches all her secrets to making beautiful crafts. With developing her YouTube, subscription group and Facebook, Rhonda has definitely found her passion. She will continue to build her brand by giving an abundance of great knowledge to those who she teaches.
Kelea started making wreaths and other crafts to sell at Church Craft sales for fun and was soon hooked. Way back in college, Kelea was not out parting with other girls but skipping class to buy ribbon. In 1997 she got her business license and was off to the races. While earning a teaching degree and doing Craft shows on the side, her business continued to grow soon the side hustle made more that the full-time teaching.
In 2005 she took the leap, and left teaching, she started doing Junior League markets and festivals all over the country. Her passion for merchandising, texture and visual representation began to grow.
Fast forward to 2013 when she heard of a little platform named Etsy, well over 15,000 sales later she found her perfect solution where she could still create but stay closer to home and her family.
Kelea’s love for textures, colors and design are fueling her teaching of others. Her design school Coaching and her discovery and selling unique supplies, are her new passions. She finds helping others succeeded, the most wonderful gift.
