Hi! I’m happy you’re here!
I’m Kellie Duke. I am a Jesus follower, wife, mom to two human children and one baby dog named Rudy. I'm also an educator, almost empty nester, and perpetual crafter.
I've always wanted to be a business owner. I watched my parents run a few successful businesses growing up, and and always admired their commitment and strong work ethic. I just didn't know what being a business owner would look like as a full-time teacher and mom of two littles.
I started All Joy as a way to creatively navigate grief after losing my mother, who was an artist, in 2023. She and I would often spend time in her studio and, bless her, she would try to teach me techniques to “help” my project. I had to remind her that while she was an artist, I am a crafter. Ha!
When my family and I moved closer to home after living in a different state for 10 years, I took some time off from teaching after 24 years in education. I took that time to begin making coloring/activity books and enjoyed the creative outlet. In the middle of my new hobby, we moved into a new house, got a new puppy, and my vibrant, artistic, strong, healthy mother became very ill. After the longest, shortest 4-month battle, I lost her.
I’ve always enjoyed crafting, and, in the grieving process, found a deep need to explore my creativity. I've learned that creating/designing/handcrafting allows me to honor my mother and find joy in my grieving heart.
I began to paint props for school music programs, door hangers for homes and classrooms and make stickers and bookmarks. Fast-forward to 2026, All Joy officially became All Joy Craft Co LLC and here I am. I'm so thankful you're here with me.
Rooted in the scripture Romans 15:13, All Joy Craft Co is a small business dedicated to spreading ALL JOY in all things at all times. I’m so grateful you visited my store. Please keep me in mind for current and future needs. Know that you are a loved and valued friend and that this scripture has been prayed over your life.
“May the God of hope fill you with ALL JOY and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
All Joy,
Kellie
