You’re here because you want something that feels like home.
Something that holds a moment. A memory. Something that quietly says, “This mattered. This was loved. This should be seen.”
Maybe what your heart's really been hoping for is...
A handmade resin art piece that already tells a story
A meaningful gift that feels ready-made but still personal
Something that brings the beach—or someone you miss—a little closer
Because let’s be honest:
You’ve clicked through a hundred “custom” shops that felt copy-pasted.
You’ve seen enough faux-handmade listings to last a lifetime.
And when it came time to honor someone you lost, there wasn’t anything that felt quite right.
That’s why I create every single piece with care, faith, and the hope that someone like you will find it and say: “That’s the one.”
Whether you’re looking for beachy wall decor, resin keepsakes, or something beautiful that doesn’t need custom work — you might just find it waiting in the gallery..
I'm so happy you're here, and I'd love to share a little bit of my story with you. I'm Shannon and have been married to Carlos for over 32 years, we've survived raising 5 kids and have grand babies starting to arrive!
We love coffee on the porch, collecting eggs from our 120+ chickens, being bossed around by our 3 cats, and 3 dogs, and of course any time we can hang with our kids is our favorite!
I started resin work in 2018, the year my husband beat cancer. As a full time caregiver for our 4th child who has special needs, and then caring for my husband, I needed an outlet, but still at home. What started as acrylic paint pouring and a Cricut, morphed into resin, 2 lasers, a home studio with air extraction, and a woodworking tool collection my husband now borrows from! I work in snippets of time while our daughter is in her day program and thoroughly consider my "work" to be my "rest". I am truly blessed beyond belief and give God all the glory for his Grace on my life and blessings I'd never even think to ask for.
The name Joy in the Making is derived from the verse Psalm 30:4-5 "Sing praises to the Lord,... and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning." Joy comes in the morning, it is in the making while we rest. When we rest in His hands, He can make our Joy complete.
I'd love to hear from you! Click the button below and introduce yourself!
(Just like finding a seashell with your name on it — but shinier.)
Wander the gallery like you’re strolling through a sunlit market.
You don’t need to know exactly what you're looking for. Let the colors, textures, and stories of each piece speak to your heart — something always stands out.
Feel that little “that’s the one” tug? That’s no accident.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind and carries its own quiet message. When something resonates, that’s your story echoing back — a reminder, a moment, a bit of beauty meant for you.
Choose your piece, and I’ll carefully package it up like a gift — because it is.
You’ll receive it ready to hang, place, or gift. From my hands to your home, full of heart and finished with joy in every layer.
Browse one-of-a-kind creations that already carry stories, just waiting to be part of yours.
