Meet the team!

Welcome to Turtley Crafty Gals, we are so glad you are here! We want to take a moment to introduce you to our team. 

Melena Shue/owner

Hi everyone, thank you for taking the time to get to know us, we truly appreciate our customers. A little about me, I was born and raised in Washington State, don't think I could ever truly leave. I love going to the mountains and the beach, both give me the calm I need. I got married at the beginning of stages of Covid (2020) to my husband Pete (who you will meet next) and was blessed with gaining two sons upon marriage. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats; I would have a farm if I could lol. When we are not working, we like to watch movies, play games, go hiking, and visit with family. 

Pete Shue/owner

Hey, my name is Pete. I am the one making 3d prints, which I love. I started this adventure about 8 months ago and I truly enjoy it. Little about me, I was born in Nevada but raised in Oregon and California. I have two incredible sons, Nathan and Derek. I love spending time with my family, playing video games (when I have time), and getting out into nature.

Erica Gillihan/staff

Hello, my name is Erica, I am a mom of two kids who keep me on my toes. We love to go on adventures, make new memories, and see new things. I love photography and the outdoors (as long as the weather is just right lol). I also enjoy working with my family and helping run Turtley Crafty Gals and hope you enjoy your items as much as we love making them!

Alisha Wood/staff

 Hi, I'm Alisha! I am a Pisces through and through. That includes my love for all things crafty! I am a mom of two not-so-little ones as well as a fur kitty. I enjoy reading, crafting, and being outdoors. Family is important to me, so I am grateful to work with these guys!
