🧼✨ New to the Flagstaff Crafted Marketplace! ✨🧼
Meet Alysha, the creative heart behind @aasoapcreations — now available at the @wildrosecoop in Killam! 🙌
Born and raised in Forestburg, Alysha has always been drawn to creative expression, from writing and drawing to now crafting beautiful, handmade bath products. What started as a fun hobby during a quiet year away from home quickly turned into a full-blown passion (and business!) when she discovered soap-making at Michaels. 🛁💡
At just 22, Alysha balances a job with running her own business, creating everything from soap and lotions to lip balms and bath bombs. 💪❤️ Each product is carefully handcrafted using quality ingredients, a whole lot of heart, and a dash of imagination.
Her dream? A storefront right here in the Flagstaff Region where she can connect with the community and share the joy of her creations. ✨
🛒 Find AA Soap Creations now at the Flagstaff Crafted Marketplace inside Wild Rose Co-op in Killam — and support a young, local maker who’s turning creativity into something beautiful.

New Episode! 🎙️
In this episode of Rural Unrecognized, we meet Tracey and John, the owners of @jdbarrettwoodwork , a custom woodworking business that has found success in both urban and rural Alberta. Originally from the UK, John started his career as a joiner, specializing in doors, windows, and staircases before running his own renovation business. Seeking new opportunities and a better lifestyle, he and Tracy made the leap to Canada, where they built a thriving woodworking business known for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
What sets JD Barrett Woodworking apart is their ability to create custom, high-end pieces while maintaining a strong commitment to their clients. Their reputation has been built almost entirely through word-of-mouth referrals rather than traditional marketing, proving that exceptional work speaks for itself. They have worked on stunning home renovations, intricate cabinetry, and even custom furniture, bringing a blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern design to their projects.
One of the biggest shifts in their journey was choosing to move from Airdrie to the quiet, scenic community of Alliance located in the Flagstaff Region. While they still travel to Calgary for work, they have found immense benefits in rural living. John and Tracy describe the peace and balance that come with stepping away from the fast-paced demands of city life. In Alliance, they have the freedom to enjoy their property, take breaks in the middle of the day, and truly appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. The sense of community is another major highlight—people are welcoming, supportive, and always looking out for one another.
For those considering a move to a smaller community, John and Tracy’s story is a testament to the opportunities and lifestyle benefits that come with it. Their passion for craftsmanship, combined with the charm and tranquility of rural Alberta, makes their journey one worth sharing!
