They’re Talking About Us

In 2017, Cathylee Morales had just given birth to her second child when she lost her job as a marketing consultant. Her husband, Jesus Morales, told her to focus on being a mom and hold down the fort at home for a while, but his job’s slow summer months took extra time to get back to normal after Hurricane Irma.

This took a financial toll on their family…

Read The Whole Story

In the midst of the turmoil, I made the bold decision to chase after my dreams. That’s when Once Upon A Creation came to life. With the support of my husband, Jesus, and my family, I started creating custom items for friends and family.

Next thing I knew, orders started coming in… and they kept coming.

See how Once Upon A Creation blossomed into something beautiful

Once Upon A Creation Co. is a locally-owned and family-operated business that offers do-it-yourself studio space for guests of all ages to come and create their very own, one-of-a-kind piece of art. The studio offers several designs that are ready for customers to choose from for the occasion. Custom design options are also available, including a paint bar full of stains and color choices.

From DIY creations to custom designs, there’s something for everyone…

Yeah, it’s as fun as it sounds.
