JaxnBlvd-Then And Now

Christmas 2012 is where it all began when I made my very first sign as a Christmas present for my sister. I kept designing and creating after that and slowly built a following. My very first post on Instagram was of a custom that a friend of mine asked me to make. In writing this post, I had to dig pretty deep into my Instagram account to find old pictures. It was fun looking through old posts and seeing how much this little business of mine has grown and changed!

When I first started JaxnBlvd, it was just me (and my sisters helping when they could) painting on my living room floor. I was pregnant with my youngest and when my belly got too big, I moved the painting to my kitchen table. After I had my daughter, I decided to hire my first employee and the painting continued in my kitchen until there was an abundance of glitter and paint that was constantly stuck to my poor baby’s knees when she tried to crawl around. I had a shed built in my backyard and JaxnBlvd continued to grow from there. The shed was only about 8ft x 10ft but once I added AC and a TV for Netflix, it turned into a fun and functional workspace. The signs were all painted in the shed and we used my garage to cut all the wood, frame, ship, and store signs. The business was growing and now that we had a dedicated workspace, I was able to hire a few more employees.

 

 

JaxnBlvd continued to grow and we eventually outgrew the shed in my backyard. I had 6 employees at this point and finding space for everyone to work was becoming an issue. My garage was busting at the seams and the storage unit I had to rent to store extra signs was filled to the brim as well. The time had come to set up a brick and mortar and we opened our doors on November 13, 2015. It was so exciting that my business had expanded so much, but also a little terrifying at the same time!

 

 

With the expansion of our space we were able to have a dedicated place for our customers to shop and we also opened up space to support other local small businesses and carry their merchandise as well. We began hosting DIY Classes now that we had the room and they quickly became a customer favorite. Over time we started selling home decor and in the past year clothing, shoes, and jewelry. It’s been fun to branch out and offer a variety to our customers.

In 2015 Hobby Lobby approached me wanting to use my designs to sell in their store. Ummmmm, yes!!! Working with Hobby Lobby has been such a great experience from the very beginning and it helped open up doors to work with other companies like, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Home Goods, Walmart, and Wayfair. It’s so fun to see your hard work come to life in different ways, and I still get a bit giddy anytime I see my work sitting on a store shelf.

I am constantly thinking of new design ideas and projects and this new year will bring some fun things I have been working on - the biggest being a new location!!! The location we are in right now is 30 minutes away from my home and from where most of my employees live. We've all been making the commute for the past 3 years and we’re ready for a shorter one. Our new shop will be in a great location and I cant wait to share more details soon!

 

 

This has been an exciting, crazy, tiring, stressful, and amazing experience so far and I had no idea when I made my very first sign that it would turn into all this! I have definitely learned a lot and as you can tell, our signs and our photography have come a long way too. I’m so grateful for everything that has transpired so far and I’m looking forward to much more!!

  • After being scammed out of $128,30 in crypto, I felt devastated and unsure where to turn. With support from Brunoe and by working with the proper authorities, I was able to recover the funds. I won’t share technical details here, but I will say this: act quickly, gather all evidence, report the scam to the relevant agencies and platforms, and choose recovery partners with a proven track record. If you’re going through the same thing — you’re not alone. Learn from my experience, be careful, and get help from legitimate, transparent sources. Email: Brunoequickhack-AT-(Gm-ail).com

  • A Nurse’s Testimony: How COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Restored My Hope and Security
    As a nurse, I work long hours caring for others, but I never imagined I would fall victim to a scam that cost me my hard-earned savings. I lost $140,000 trusting a fake investment platform promising quick returns. Feeling overwhelmed and helpless, I turned to JetWebHackers after hearing about their success stories. To my surprise, their team acted swiftly. Within 72 hours, they tracked down the scammers and recovered my funds. Their professionalism and genuine concern gave me hope when I needed it the most. Thanks to JetWebHackers, I regained my financial stability and peace of mind. Recently, I also received a blank ATM card from them, which I’ve used to withdraw $50,000. It’s been a blessing, especially during these tough times. I understand it may be illegal, but for those in dire need, it’s a lifeline. If you’re ever in a difficult financial situation or have been scammed, I highly recommend reaching out to JetWebHackers. They truly care about helping people rebuild their lives.

  • Hey everyone! 🌟

    I am beyond excited to share an incredible story of hope and healing that has completely transformed our lives! Two years ago, my husband was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) at Patton State Hospital in California. The news hit us like a ton of bricks, and the doctors told us there was no cure. They prescribed medications to help manage symptoms, but after a year and two months, his condition took a turn for the worse, and we were left feeling helpless, searching desperately for something that could change our reality.

    Then, just two months ago, I stumbled upon something AMAZING—an article about a herbal healing center in Africa that offers powerful herbal remedies for ALS! I could hardly contain my excitement and immediately reached out to the herbal doctor, Doc Yare, to order the ALS herbal remedy. Within just SIX days, we received the remedy and began the healing journey with so much hope in our hearts!

    My husband started using the remedy right away—drinking the ALS herb tea, applying the healing oil, and using the herbal cream prepared by Doc Yare three times a day. And let me tell you… the results were absolutely mind-blowing! 🙌

    His slurred speech disappeared, he can now eat without a G-tube, and he’s walking on his own, without any support! HE IS FULLY HEALED!! 🎉🎉 We are over the moon with joy and feel so blessed that we have to share this with the world!

    If you or someone you love is battling ALS, MND, MS, MSA, FSHD, Aphasia, Stroke, Dementia, or any other chronic illness, I wholeheartedly urge you to contact Doc Yare! His expertise with God’s life-saving herbs is nothing short of miraculous, and I know he can help others just like he helped us!

    You can reach Doc Yare at:
    Email: [dryareherbalcurehome@gmail.com]
    Call/WhatsApp: +2348164653711
