On this page, you’ll see the artsy and crafty side of me that I love to display. R & D Creations is the name of my store.

I try to bring to life the designs through painting, staining, aging/antiquing, faux finishing, and even rusting the products. I also repurpose furniture using those techniques.

The store will have paintings, drawings, wall hangings, crafts, scarves, and more for sale. All items are homemade by myself. Occasionally, my daughter Jessyca, may have a few items for sale too that she has made. And of course, I will be creating and selling items for animal lovers, like ourselves. Some items, will already be made and can be shipped right away. Other items will be made to order, and will be available providing I can still get the supplies I need to make the product. Payment is due at the time of the order.

Shipping costs are due at the time the product is ready to be shipped. I ship using USPS. The cost of shipping is based on the weight of the item or items you buy. I simply charge you what they will be charging me. When I have the item or items ready, I will box them up and take it to the post office. Once they let me know how much it will cost, I will then let you know. Upon receiving payment for the postage, I will then ship you your item or items.

Payment for the products and the postage will need to be made via Paypal, Venmo, or CashApp. And it will need to be paid as friends and family so no fees are charged. Please make sure you do it this way. Any fees that I am charged, will be passed on to you to pay.

I’ll eventually be doing “garage sale events” here on the farm. The items I will have for sale will range from arts, crafts, repurposed furniture, pet knacks, and more. Be sure to check back for dates of those garage sales.

Also, for those of you that live around the Effingham, Illinois area, I can have my products delivered to that area for pick up. It would be done once a month, providing my son is going up there to see his father. He would drop off the products at my parents’ house. You would then have to make arrangements to go to their house to pick it up. There would be no shipping fees, but I do ask you pay a $5 fee that I would give my son for delivering and help in getting the product to my parents’ house.
