Hi, I'm Gay Ann Youngblood, owner of Creations by Gay Ann since July 21, 2021. I have been married to Richard for 48 years, we met at work Robotron Corporation in Southfield, Dick an east side Detroiter and me a west sider from Livonia.

 

We moved to live in Gregory, MI in 1980, still live in the house we built there. We live with a black cat named Mr. Munchkin who was dropped off on our porch. I was coming home from work and there was a van in our driveway with all the doors opened, so of course I thought someone was trying to rob us.

As I pulled up a young girl jumped back into the van, and I thought I saw something run under our porch. After asking the driver what they were doing, their answer was they were lost.??? and they left. I looked under the porch and I saw something in the back couldn't convince him to come out. The next day I came home from work and Dick had taken the porch apart to get the kitten out. Now Mr. Munchkin runs the house hold. I have always been into creating from the time I was young girl - crochet, knit, baking, and refurnish furniture.

 

Wreath making came much later in m life. I always had a Gingerbread House decorating party for the nieces and nephews and along with that some kind of craft for the adults. Ten years ago the craft was making deco mesh wreaths and I was hooked. I made wreaths for gifts, the workplace and any occasion anyone had. I had a coworker tell me that it looked like I had found my retirement activity.

 

So after working 48 years in Manufacturing Management I started Creations By Gay Ann. I love providing handmade decor for customers to beautify the homes.
