Welcome and Thank You For visiting!
My Story
Vickie Hannah Creations came to life after an amazing 2023 African Safari in Tanzania. Friends graciously loaned me their professional camera, and I returned with these beautiful photos to share.
I've written stories all my life, so I was inspired to write two educational safari children's picture books. Then came ideas for tote bags, clothing, and more!
With my family and friends' excitement and encouragement, I opened my first online store in June 2024.
This was a huge step for me, woohoo!
I'll take my books and merchandise to private and public events and post event dates on here, Facebook, and Instagram.
I hope you, your family, and educators enjoy reading the playful books and that you receive great pleasure from wearing, carrying, or looking at the awe-inspiring animals!
Creative Goals
Everything I create comes from my genuine love and care for people and animals.
Working as an actress and writer with a young family, I created a local TV show called Family Fun in the Triangle. My son and I hosted the series for six years, showing families where to go for fun activities. I also created Storytime, a TV show that focused on reading for children; and Animal Shelter, a TV show featuring animal care.
This was before both social media and reality TV became popular. My friends told me I was ahead of my time and should share clips from our show. I've added that to my long list of things to do. :-)
My Passion
I grew up in South Florida, where my love for marine life and wildlife blossomed. I wanted to be either a wildlife or marine biologist. As my life progressed, I married young, worked full-time while attending college, and had my son a few years later before graduating with highest honors from The University of North Carolina. My career path changed to keep me closer to home, but I kept my passion for science, exploring Earth, adventure, and animals.
Now, an empty nester, I work in healthcare, helping people have fun while staying physically fit as I continue my writing and acting work. I hope to travel more to create unique, exciting gifts that bring you joy!
Travel Adventures Blog
After becoming an empty nester, a big goal for me was to travel. I've planned hiking, biking, and sightseeing trips in the U.S. and abroad. I'll share trip details under "My Blog." Happy Travels!
Kids and Environment Goals
I hope the books inspire a love for these wonderful animals and provide quality time for kids to enjoy them as educational tools with their parents, grandparents, and teachers.
I hope people love using the tote bags for everyday essentials and grocery shopping, decreasing the constant use of new plastic and paper bags.
I hope to inspire and empower girls and boys to be adventurers, book authors, photographers, science enthusiasts, designers, animal ambassadors, and creators/supporters of
women-owned businesses.
We can make a difference!
Much love, Vickie :-)
