About Anne Marie
Welcome to Keepsakes & Kreations by Anne Marie. I love working with flowers and making custom keepsakes.

How it all started
3 things happened that put me on this path.
I grew a wildflower patch in the summer of 2024. They brought me such joy; I loved looking at them as I passed in to and out from the house as I went to work, walked the dog etc. This got me thinking....
My daughter got married the year before and I had pressed some of her wedding bouquet (very badly!) and made a little frame.
And lastly, my youngest was heading off to college and I was looking for 'something new' in my life, that would tap in to my creative side.
My initial intention was to press and frame flowers but I quickly got wrapped up in the world of resin. And before I knew it I was totally immersed and on a steep learning curve. I started experimenting with pressing and drying flowers and began making small items first. I continue to pick up new tricks and methods and I'm constantly learning.
What I love the most about resin, is the way it holds the colour and shape of flowers.

Crafted with care and intention
Every flower carries a unique story, and no two pieces are ever the same. I'm always amazed at how different every project is. Even if a bouquet is similar to another, the end product is always very unique. From bridal bouquets to sympathy tributes, I handle every bloom with the utmost gentleness and respect. Through the meticulous drying and/or pressing process, then casting, sanding and polishing, each finished piece captures the delicate beauty and spirit of your milestone event.

Handmade in Tuam, Ireland
As an independent crafter, I work directly with you from the moment your blooms arrive until your custom keepsake is complete. Whether you are marking a wedding, christening, funeral or special occasion, I am here to help you turn life's fleeting moments into lasting mementos.
