About It’s Made By Brooke

Hi, I’m Brooke!

The face behind It's Made By Brooke. a little corner of the internet where creativity, books and all the things I love come together.

I started It's Made By Brooke back in 2022 as a place where I could be entirely myself and have a creative outlet outside of everyday life. I originally started by making snow globe tumblers and later added rhinestone tumblers, selling them through Etsy. I put my heart and soul into every custom order, and my perfectionist side definitely made sure every little detail was up to my standards. As much as I loved creating them, they were incredibly time-consuming, and eventually I found it difficult to balance the business alongside working full-time.

So, naturally, I found another way to be creative through my love of reading. 📚

What started with bookmarks has grown into stickers, beaded e-reader accessories and whatever else my brain decides would be fun to make next. I love experimenting, learning new things and finding new ways to turn an idea in my head into something I can actually hold in my hands. And I'm pretty sure the list of things I make isn't going to stop growing anytime soon.

Outside of my little creative world, I'm a bit of a mix of everything. I'm passionate about graphic design, arts and crafts, reading, motorcycles, target shooting and gaming. I love the contrast between all of these things, and honestly, I don't think you have to fit into one particular box to love books. There are plenty of sides to me, and I want that to be reflected here too.

I've also always had a love for stories and creating things from scratch, so while I'm not quite ready to share everything that's happening behind the scenes just yet... let's just say the creative side of my brain is always busy. 😉

Most importantly, I want It's Made By Brooke to become more than just a place to buy cute bookish things. I want it to feel like a community. A little safe space on the internet where you can talk about books, share what you're reading, find something that makes you ridiculously excited, or simply hang out with people who understand why fictional characters have taken over your life.

And if you've been here since the snow globe tumbler days in 2022 — thank you. Seriously. You have supported every version of this little business as it has grown and changed, and I appreciate it more than I could ever put into words. 🤍
