THE STORY BEHIND GAS MONEY CREATIONS
What started as a way to make a little extra gas money turned into something much bigger.
A few months back, my family and I found ourselves in a tough spot physically, financially, and mentally. I needed to find a way to create some income using the limited resources I had. So I started small. I made a few sets of coasters for $20 each… and they sold. Then I made a few more. Then yard signs. Then custom pieces. And suddenly this little idea started growing legs.
Before I knew it, I went from one machine to two. Orders were coming in faster. Deliveries were filling my days. And somewhere along the way, it hit me:
This is it.
This is everything I’ve done in my life coming together.
This is the business I was meant to build.
So I made it official. I got my LLC.
Gas Money Creations was born, not from luxury, but from necessity, grit, and purpose.
Right now, I specialize in handcrafted wood items on the smaller side:
Coasters
Signs
Checkerboards
Dice & marble game boards
Gift-size pieces you can hold in your hands and feel the work in.
These products kept my family afloat, and somehow turned into something that feels like a calling.
This business is still growing. It’s changing. It’s becoming something bigger every single week. And honestly, even I’m excited to see where it goes next… and I’m the one doing it.
For now, I’m focused on making high-quality, handcrafted wood pieces items that feel personal, meaningful, and built to last. Over time, this will grow into larger projects, bigger furniture, and whatever else this path opens up. But that's later down the road
But this is the heart of it:
Handmade work.
Real craftsmanship.
A family business built from the ground up.
Gas Money that turned into a dream.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.
We’re just getting started.
