About VAMI Creations

Welcome to VAMI Creations, where creativity runs in the family! Originally founded by Michele, this DIY craft and arts blog is now owned by Mango Moon Food Services Ltd. While the blog has grown and evolved over time, its heart remains the same—celebrating the joy of making, creating, and crafting.

At the center of VAMI Creations is our beloved mascot, Vami the cat—but Vami isn’t just any cat! Vami represents the entire Johnson family, a group of passionate makers who bring their unique talents to the world of DIY. Vami also represents Thomas’ two cats, Adler and Kahlo, who are never far from the creative action!

A Family of Makers

Creativity runs deep in the Johnson family, and VAMI Creations is an extension of that legacy.

  • Thomas Johnson, owner of Mango Moon Food Services, took over this blog as a way to stay connected with his family’s love for crafting. He’s always been surrounded by creativity, and this blog is a way to share that passion with the world.

  • His father, Dave is an expert woodworker who can turn a simple piece of wood into something truly special. When he’s not in the workshop, he enjoys experimenting as a casual mixologist, crafting the perfect drink.

  • His mother, Cynthia is a true jack-of-all-trades. She rebuilds vintage Singer sewing machines, quilts, and fixes just about anything. When she lived in Mexico, the local ladies called her "MacGyver" because she could solve any problem with whatever materials she had on hand.

  • His sister Stephanie can often be found making intricate chain mail (yes, real chain mail!) or stirring up a pot of homemade soup. Whether it’s metalwork or a new craft project, she’s always creating something interesting.

    • Her partner Deuce is an avid classic car restorer and can always be seen in the garage fixing the coolest cars that could come through Alberta.

  • His sister Natalie is a stationery lover who has expanded her creativity into the world of handmade items for children. Since having her first child, Jaimie, she’s been busy making everything a little one could dream of—from baby blankets to crinkle books and more.

    • Her partner Chris is someone who is ready to fix up any problem. He loves woodworking and making anything that makes his wife’s life easier. She also has a cocacola addiction, so Chris became well versed in nitrogen systems for draft taps.

  • His partner Sidney is an artist at heart, with a fine arts degree and a passion for Cricut crafts and cosplay. Whether it’s designing costumes or crafting personalized gifts, Sidney brings an artistic touch to everything they do.
