About Me

Hello and welcome my beautiful friends,

I want to first start off by thanking you for visiting my page and taking the time to get to know a little bit about me. My name is Amanda and I am from sunny California. I am a wife to an amazing husband and a mother to 3 beautiful daughters. It’s really hard to sum up a whole person in a little paragraph but I’ll do my best. 

As a young child I always had a hard time fitting in. My parents, as amazing as they were, couldn’t seem to help me find my place. I struggled with happiness. I always felt like the black sheep in my family and I felt like I was more of a burden than a blessing. After the struggle and survival of high school I found myself floating through my twenties trying to find who I was, and what made me happy. Shortly after my first daughter was born I began a relationship with my best friend and learned to love myself again, or maybe for the first time ever. After having my second daughter I  found myself spiraling in postpartum depression. I was starting to struggle again. I decided to try painting and I loved it. The natural creative person in me had awoken. I began my resin journey in early 2020 but unfortunately the world shut down due to Covid. Money was tight and starting my business just didn’t seem like the right move. I went back to work and a year later I once again was lost. After months of being in a dark place and working myself out of it, I later became pregnant with our rainbow baby, my 3rd and final daughter. While my family was now complete, I felt the financial burden bear down on my husband harder. With a new baby at home and no way for me to provide additional income. I went back to what I loved. I started making my resin earrings and before I knew it something inside me lit up again. I began posting my work on Instagram and they were a hit. Or at least in family’s eyes. With the support of my friends and family, and mostly my husband, I dove head first into it. And that is where Dipped Petal was born.

My passion is art and I pour my heart and soul into my pieces. Not only do you support my family when you purchase from me but you support a girls dream who thought it was too late. ✨

If you stayed till the end, thank you for being here. Kindness is like wildfire, it spreads fast. 🥰

 

💚💕 Amanda McFadden
